The hinge shaft 4 and the guide block 5 are on the extension part 402, and the hinge shaft 4 extends upward.

[0104] Corresponding to the position of the hinge plate 40, both the upper and lower ends of the door body 30 are provided with positioning grooves 6 and guide grooves 7. The two positioning grooves 6 at the upper and lower ends of the door body 30 are vertically aligned, and the two guide grooves 7 are vertically aligned as well. This ensures that the hinge located at the upper end of the door body 30 moves synchronously with the hinge located at the lower end of the door body 30.

[0105] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-7 As shown, see Figure 8The plane containing the side of the box 10 near the hinge plate 40 (the first body sidewall) is defined as the reference plane M0. The side of the reference plane M0 away from the inner cavity of the storage room is called the outer side, and the opposite side near the storage room is called the inner side.

[0106] The refrigerator includes two doors 30 arranged opposite each other, which work together to open or close the access hatch. Each door 30 has a side sealing strip 3 on its side away from its side wall 32. When both doors 30 are closed, the side sealing strip 3 on one door 30 seals against the side sealing strip 3 on the other door 30; that is, when both doors 30 are closed, the two side sealing strips 3 are pressed into the gap between the two doors 30 to effectively seal the space between the two doors 30 and the refrigerator body, preventing cold air from escaping. When the refrigerator uses traditional hinges (hinges that open by simple rotation), when one door 30 is opened, because the two side sealing strips 3 are tightly pressed when closed, the opened door 30 will cause the other door 30 to open as well. This increases the opening area of ​​the access hatch, increases the amount of cold air escaping, increases power consumption, and leads to a higher temperature inside the storage compartment, affecting food preservation. Therefore, in this invention, a track-changing mechanism is formed by the cooperation of the hinge and the door 30, so that the opened door 30 moves outward during the opening process, thereby preventing it from pulling the other door 30 to be opened.

[0107] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 6 is a curved groove; along the direction from the end away from the door sidewall 32 to the end closer to the door sidewall 32, the distance between the positioning groove 6 and the front wall 31 of the door first increases and then decreases. In this embodiment, the positioning groove 6 is a smooth curve. Figure 3 As shown, in the projection of the top wall of the box 10, the projection line of the front wall 31 of the door is denoted as the x-axis, the projection line of the inner wall of the guide groove 7 away from the side wall 32 of the door (the first guide bar 8) is denoted as the y-axis, and the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis is denoted as the origin O (0, 0); where the x-axis is positive in the direction from the first guide bar 8 to the second guide bar 9; the y-axis is positive in the direction from the front wall 31 of the door to the rear wall 33 of the door.

[0108] The center trajectory line of the positioning groove 6 is denoted as the first trajectory line S; the center first trajectory line S is denoted as the function f(x) in this coordinate system, and f(x) is located in the first quadrant of the xOy coordinate system; as a settable mode, as x increases, f(x) first increases and then decreases. That is, f(x) has only one extreme point. In this embodiment, f(x) is an upwardly convex function.

[0109] As a settable manner, the positioning groove 6 comprises a first groove segment away from the door side wall 32 and a second groove segment close to the door side wall 32; wherein the distance between the first groove segment and the door front wall 31 gradually increases along the direction from the end away from the door side wall 32 to the direction close to the door side wall 32, and the distance between the second groove segment and the door front wall 31 gradually decreases. The first groove segment and the second groove segment are connected by smooth transition. Wherein the center track lines corresponding to the first groove segment and the second groove segment are sequentially recorded as the first track segment and the second track segment; wherein the first track segment and the second track segment are smoothly connected to form the first track line S.

[0110] As a settable manner, the first groove segment and the second groove segment are both circular arc grooves. That is, the first track segment and the second track segment are both in circular arc shape. As a settable manner, the first track segment and the second track segment are tangent; that is, the first groove segment and the second groove segment are tangent to form a smooth positioning groove 6.

[0111] As another settable manner, a transition groove segment is arranged to connect the first groove segment and the second groove segment; the first groove segment, the transition groove segment and the second groove segment are smoothly connected; wherein the center track line of the transition groove segment is recorded as the transition track segment; as a settable manner, the first track segment, the transition track segment and the second track segment are tangent; that is, the first groove segment and the second groove segment are both tangent to the transition groove segment to form a smooth positioning groove 6.

[0112] As limited by the shape of the positioning groove 6 being a curved groove, the first track line S is a curve. Wherein the first track line S extends from the side away from the door side wall 32 to the side close to the door side wall 32, and the distance between the first track line S and the door front wall 31 first increases and then decreases; in addition, in the embodiment, the guide groove 7 is in straight line type; that is, the guide groove 7 is composed of a straight line type groove. Wherein the center line of the extension direction of the guide groove 7 is recorded as the second track line K; since the guide groove 7 is always tangent to the guide round block 5, the guide center axis I of the guide round block 5 always moves along the second track line K. It should be noted that the expressions in the embodiment are all standard theoretical settings, which include structural settings that have some deviations from the standard theoretical settings due to manufacturing or assembly errors or slight deformation, etc., but still have the characteristics.

[0113] In the embodiment, the hinge shaft 4 cooperates with the positioning groove 6, and the guide round block 5 cooperates with the guide groove 7, so that the door body 30 can move a distance outward (away from the second body side wall) while rotating, to avoid interference between the side sealing strips 3 installed on the two opposite door bodies 30 when the door body 30 is opened, effectively avoiding that only one of the two door bodies 30 is opened to drive the other door body 30 and increase the cold loss. As another setting manner, the door body 30 moves a certain distance forward (away from the cabinet) while opening and moving outward, to avoid pressing the door sealing strip 2 when the door body 30 is opened, and prevent the door body 30 and the cabinet 10 from interfering with each other to affect the opening of the door body 30.

[0114] Since the positioning groove 6 and the hinge shaft 4 are in relative motion, and the guide groove 7 and the guide round block 5 are in relative motion, if the door body 30 is in the process of opening, and the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are the static reference, it is equivalent to the hinge shaft 4 moving in the positioning groove 6, and the guide round block 5 moving in the guide groove 7. In order to facilitate the description, the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are used as the reference, and the hinge shaft 4 and the guide round block 5 move relative to the reference.

[0115] In addition, in the embodiment, the center axis of the hinge shaft 4 is recorded as the positioning center axis P, and the center axis of the guide round block 5 passing through the center of the cross section is recorded as the guide center axis I; the radius of the circular cross section of the guide round block 5 passing through the positioning center axis P is recorded as IA; wherein A is the intersection point of the boundary of the circular cross section of the guide round block 5 and the radius of the guide round block 5 passing through the positioning center axis P. That is, I, P and A are on the same straight line, and on the radius IA of the circular cross section of the guide round block 5. In the embodiment, in the projection of the box body 10 top wall, the length of the line segment IP is greater than the length of the line segment AP, which effectively increases the limitation of the hinge shaft 4 and the guide round block 5 on the door body 30, and increases the stability of the connection between the door body 30 and the box body 10; wherein the line segment IP is recorded as the axis center line segment IP, the radius IA is recorded as the axis center radius IA, and A is recorded as the axis center radius point A. As a settable way, IP / AP is any value between 2 and 3.

[0116] As one feasible approach, the plane passing through the guide center axis I and parallel to the reference plane M0 is denoted as the first reference plane M1. In the projection of the top wall of the housing 10, the axial radius IA is located on the side of the first reference plane M1 away from the reference plane M0, and on the side of the plane passing through the guide center axis I and parallel to the front wall 31 of the door when the door is closed, closer to the housing 10; that is, from I to A, the distance between IA and the first reference plane M1 increases monotonically and linearly. In this embodiment, the positioning center axis P is located on the side of the guide center axis I closer to the pick-up and drop-off port, which increases the limiting effect of the hinge axis 4 and the guide block 5 on the door 30, and increases the connection stability between the door 30 and the housing 10. In addition, in this embodiment, the positioning center axis P is located on the side of the guide center axis I closer to the pick-up and drop-off port and away from the first body side wall. The above settings effectively increase the outward movement angle range of the door 30 during rotation, allowing the door 30 to maintain a large outward movement trend during rotation. On the one hand, this avoids mutual interference between the side sealing strips 3 installed on the two opposing door 30s, reducing cold loss; on the other hand, it reduces the lateral obstruction of the access opening by the door seal 2 installed on the rear wall 33 of the door, thereby increasing the lateral size of the drawer installed in the storage room and increasing the space utilization of the storage room. In addition, the hinge shaft 4, which cooperates with the positioning groove 6, is located on the side of the guide center axis I near the access opening and away from the side wall of the first body. The hinge shaft 4 cooperates with the guide block 5 to enhance the connection firmness of the door 30 close to the cabinet 10, effectively enhancing the connection stability of the door and increasing the stability of the door 30 when opening, reducing shaking and improving the user experience.

[0117] In some embodiments of this application, the angle between the axial radius IA and the first reference plane M1 in the projection of the top wall of the box 10 is denoted as the first included angle θ, which is any value between 25° and 35°; it can be set, and in this embodiment, θ = 30°.

[0118] In some embodiments of this application, the radius of the hinge shaft 4 is denoted as r, and the radius of the guide block 5 is denoted as R; where r / R is any value from 0.7 to 0.8; the above radius setting, on the one hand, makes reasonable use of the thickness space of the door body 30 to arrange the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove to achieve the purpose of opening the door body 30 to the maximum angle; on the other hand, it ensures the strength of the hinge shaft 4 and the guide block 5; in addition, the cooperation between the hinge shaft 4 and the positioning groove 6, and the cooperation between the guide block 5 and the guide groove 7, increases the stability of the door body 30 when opening.

[0119] like Figures 8-23As shown, the movement of hinge axis 4 along positioning groove 6 is equivalent to the movement of positioning center axis P along the first trajectory line S. In this embodiment, hinge plate 40 is fixedly connected to guide block 5, and the movement of guide block 5 relative to guide groove 7 is equivalent to the movement of hinge plate 40 relative to guide groove 7, and also equivalent to the movement of box 10 relative to door 30. The movement of door 30 relative to box 10 is equivalent to the relative movement of the two within the plane containing the top wall of box 10 (or within a plane parallel to the top wall of box 10); that is, the movement of door 30 relative to box 10 can be reduced to a relative movement within a two-dimensional plane. Within the plane containing the top wall of box 10, the movement of axis segment IP relative to guide groove 7 is equivalent to the movement of axis segment IP relative to the second trajectory line K, and also equivalent to the movement of guide block 5 relative to guide groove 7, and also equivalent to the movement of box 10 relative to door 30.

[0120] In the following description, for ease of explanation, the movement of the positioning center axis P along the first trajectory line S represents the movement of the hinge axis 4 along the positioning groove 6, and the movement of the axis segment IP relative to the second trajectory line K represents the movement of the guide block 5 relative to the guide groove 7; that is, the movement of the axis segment IP relative to the second trajectory line K represents the movement of the housing 10 (hinge plate 40) relative to the door 30. The second trajectory line K includes a first guide endpoint K1 near the front wall 31 of the door and a second guide endpoint K2 near the rear wall 33 of the door; the second trajectory line K extends in a straight line from the first guide endpoint K1 to the second guide endpoint K2. In some embodiments of this application, the second trajectory line K is perpendicular to the front wall 31 of the door to increase the efficiency of the door 30 moving outward and forward relative to the housing 10.

[0121] like Figures 8-23 As shown, the first trajectory line S includes a starting positioning point P0 away from the door side wall 32 and a sixth positioning point P6 close to the door side wall 32; the first trajectory line S extends along a curve from the starting positioning point P0 to the side close to the door side wall 32 to the sixth positioning point P6, and the distance between the first trajectory line S and the front wall 31 of the door first increases and then decreases.

[0122] In the embodiment, the first trajectory line S is closer to the back wall 33 than the front wall 31. When the user opens the door body 30, the external force applied to the door body 30 mainly acts on the side of the door body 30 close to the front wall 31 and away from the side wall 32. In the embodiment, the positioning groove 6 is close to the back wall 33 relative to the front wall 31, so that the door body 30 is positioned by the hinge shaft 4 when the door body 30 is close to the back wall 33 and close to the side wall 32 during opening, effectively improving the balance of force, making the mechanical stability of the opening of the door body 30 good, and ensuring the smoothness and stability of the movement of the door body 30; at the same time, the strength of the door body 30 and the positioning groove 6 is also ensured. In the embodiment, the distance between the starting positioning point P0 and the front wall 31 is denoted as D0, the distance between the sixth positioning point P6 and the front wall 31 is denoted as D1, and the distance between the sixth positioning point P6 and the back wall 33 is denoted as D2. Among them, D0≥D1>D2; that is, D2:D1∈[1 / 2, 1) can be set. The above setting can make the force more balanced, match the user's usage habit, and enhance the stability and smoothness of the opening of the door body 30. In the projection of the top wall of the cabinet 10, the middle plane between the front wall 31 and the back wall 33 is denoted as the middle plane (in the embodiment, the middle plane is the same as the center of mass plane F), the distance between the middle plane and the front wall 31 is equal to the distance between the middle plane and the back wall 33; the positioning groove 6 is located between the middle plane and the back wall 33. In the embodiment, 14mm≤D2≤18mm, and in the current example, D2=16mm and D1=32mm. The thickness of the door body 30 is between 45mm and 55mm.

[0123] In the embodiment, the positioning groove 6 is curved and protrudes towards the back wall 33; the center line (the second trajectory line K) of the guide groove 7 in the extension direction is parallel to the side wall 32, so that when the hinge shaft 4 drives the guide block 5 to move relative to the positioning groove, a significant displacement in the inside-outside direction (transverse direction / width direction of the refrigerator) is generated, and the door body 30 moves outward. Specifically, in the embodiment, the front wall 31 is perpendicular to the side wall 32; the first guide strip 8 and the second guide strip 9 are both perpendicular to the front wall 31, that is, the second trajectory line K is perpendicular to the front wall 31. In the embodiment, the second trajectory line K is perpendicular to the front wall 31 and parallel to the side wall 32. The first trajectory line S extends from the starting positioning point P0 to the sixth positioning point P6 along the curve protruding towards the back wall 33. The above setting effectively utilizes the thickness of the door body 30, on the one hand, makes the rotation and movement of the guide block 5 relative to the guide groove 7 more smooth, and on the other hand, makes the door body 30 move outward and forward during the rotation and opening process.

[0124] The above positioning groove 6 effectively limits the movement of the hinge shaft 4, and the guide groove 7 effectively limits the movement of the guide block 5, so that the guide block 5 moves in conjunction with the hinge shaft 4 within the guide groove 7, thereby causing the door 30 to move outward and forward a certain distance during the opening process, and ensuring the stability and smoothness of the door 30's rotation opening.

[0125] In some embodiments of this application, the two ends of the positioning groove 6 are located near the centroid plane F; it can be configured such that the distance between the two ends of the positioning groove 6 and the centroid plane F is less than 1 cm; so that the door 30 can be effectively supported in the closed state and the state opened to the maximum angle, thereby improving the stability of the door 30 in maintaining this state.

[0126] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the application, when the door 30 is in the closed state, the positioning center axis P is located at the starting positioning point P0 of the first trajectory line S, and the guide block 5 simultaneously cooperates with the first guide strip 8 and the second guide strip 9. It should be noted that, throughout the entire opening process of the door 30, the guide block 5 always simultaneously cooperates with the first guide strip 8 and the second guide strip 9; within the projection of the plane containing the top wall of the housing 10,

[0127] In this embodiment, the maximum opening angle G of the refrigerator max The angle >90° will be used as an example. The door 30 opens from the closed state to its maximum angle G. max During the process, when the door 30 rotates open to a specific angle, the specific positions of the hinge shaft 4 relative to the positioning groove 6 and the guide block 5 relative to the guide groove 7 are as follows:

[0128] in, This indicates the opening angle of door 30, and the opening angle when door 30 is closed.

[0129] like Figure 8 As shown, At this time, the door 30 is in the closed state; the positioning center axis P is located at the starting positioning point P0 of the first trajectory line S away from the door side wall 32, and the guide block 5 simultaneously cooperates with the first guide strip 8 and the second guide strip 9. Figure 16 , At this time, the guide center axis I, the positioning center point P, and the axis radius point A of the guide block 5 are located at I0, P0, and A0 respectively within the guide groove 7. Among them, I0 is located on the second trajectory line K.

[0130] like Figures 9-11 As shown, When the door body 30 is rotated from the closed state to G3 (not including the end value), the guiding circular block 5 is matched with the first guiding strip 8 and the second guiding strip 9 at the same time; the positioning central axis P gradually approaches the door rear wall 33 and the door side wall 32 along the first trajectory line S.

In combination with Figure 15 , I0, I1, I2 and I3 are all located on the second trajectory line K and arranged in sequence along the direction from the door front wall 31 to the door rear wall 33. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 11 , G3 ∈ [48°, 52°] any value; that is, when the door body 30 is opened to about 50°, the positioning center point P moves to the third positioning point P3 of the first trajectory line S closest to the door rear wall 33.

[0137] ​​​When the door 30 opens G4, the positioning center axis P is located at the fourth positioning point P4 on the first trajectory line S. The fourth positioning point P4 is located between the third positioning point P3 and the sixth positioning point P6, and the fourth positioning point P4 is located on the side of the third positioning point P3 closest to the door side wall 32 and the door front wall 31; combined with Figure 19 , At this time, the guide center axis I, positioning center point P, and axis radius point A of the guide block 5 are located at I4, P4, and A4 respectively within the guide groove 7. Specifically, I4 is located on the second trajectory line K and on the side of I3 furthest from the front wall 31; that is, I4 is located on the side of I3 closest to K2. As one feasible implementation, G4 = 90°;

[0138] like Figures 12-14 As shown, At that time, door 30 is rotated open from G4 (G4 = 90°) to G... max (>90°) process; during the opening process, the guide block 5 simultaneously cooperates with the first guide bar 8 and the second guide bar 9; the positioning center axis P moves along the first trajectory line S towards the direction close to the door side wall 32 and the door front wall 31.

At this time, the guide block 5 and guide groove 7 have the same engagement relationship within the opening angle range, and the first guide bar 8 and the second guide bar 9 always engage with the guide block 5; the movement trend of the positioning center axis P relative to the first trajectory line S is the same. The difference lies in that: with different opening angles, the engagement point of the guide block 5 and guide groove 7 is different, and the position of the positioning center axis relative to the first trajectory line S is different. Thus, the opening angle satisfies (G4, G max When any of the opening angles can represent the door 30 opening to the corresponding interval (G4, G...), then... max The relative positions of guide block 5 and guide groove 7, hinge shaft 4 and positioning groove 6 at that time; specifically, such as Figure 13 , State diagram, It can represent the coordination status within that interval.

[0140] like Figure 13 As shown, when door 30 is opened (G5) max >G5>G4=90°), the positioning center axis P is located at the fifth positioning point P5 on the first trajectory line S, and the fifth positioning point P5 is located on the side of the fourth positioning point P4 near the front wall 31 and the side wall 32 of the door. Combined with Figure 20 , When the door body 30 is opened at the angle G5, the guiding center axis I of the guiding circular block 5, the positioning center point P and the axis center radius point A are sequentially located at I5, P5 and A5 in the guiding groove 7. Among them, I5 is located on the second trajectory line K and is located on the side of I4 away from the door front wall 31; that is, I5 is located on the side of I4 close to K2. As a settable manner, G5∈[100°, 105°].

[0141] As shown in Figure 14 , when the door body 30 is opened at the angle G max (G max >90°), the positioning center axis P is located at the sixth positioning point P6 of the first trajectory line S, and the sixth positioning point P6 is located on the side of the fifth positioning point P5 away from the sixth positioning point P6; at this time, the hinge shaft 4 is located at the end of the positioning groove close to the door side wall 32, that is, the positioning center axis P is located at the end point of the first trajectory line S close to the door side wall 32. In combination Figure 21 , , the guiding center axis I of the guiding circular block 5, the positioning center point P and the axis center radius point A are sequentially located at I6, P6 and A6 in the guiding groove 7. Among them, I6 is located on the second trajectory line K and is located on the side of I5 away from the door front wall 31; that is, I6 is located on the side of I5 close to K2. As a settable manner, G max ∈[112°, 120°]. In this embodiment,

[0142] Wherein, 0°<G1<G2<G3<G4<G5<G max ; the starting positioning point P0, the first positioning point P1, the second positioning point P2, the third positioning point P3, the fourth positioning point P4, the fifth positioning point P5 and the sixth positioning point P6 are sequentially distributed along the first trajectory line S to the direction close to the door side wall 32. In this embodiment, the opening angle of the door body 30 is sequentially recorded as the first angle G1, the second angle G2, the third angle G3, the fourth angle G4, the fifth angle G5 and the maximum angle G max .

[0143] During the process that the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to the maximum angle G max , the hinge shaft 4 moves relative to the positioning groove 6 to the direction close to the door side wall 32, and the guiding circular block 5 moves relative to the guiding groove 7 to the direction away from the door front wall 31.

[0144] As can be seen from the above, during the whole process that the door body 30 is opened, the two groove walls of the guiding groove 7 cooperate with the guiding circular block 5. From the trend angle of the movement of the hinge shaft 4 relative to the positioning groove 6, , the hinge shaft 4 is located at the end of the positioning groove 6 away from the door side wall 32; , the hinge shaft 4 moves to the position of the positioning groove 6 closest to the door rear wall 33. At this time, the hinge shaft 4 moves to the end of the positioning groove 6 near the door side wall 32. That is, from the angle of the movement trend of the hinge shaft 4 relative to the positioning groove 6, Open door 30 from the closed state to G. max The process is divided into two stages. The following explanation of these two stages focuses on the movement trend of the hinge shaft 4 relative to the positioning groove 6:

[0145] The first stage, combined with Figures 16-18 ,like Figure 22 As shown, the process of the door 30 rotating from the closed state to G3 (<90°) is illustrated.

[0146] In this first stage, the door 30 opens sequentially from 0° through G1 and G2 to G3. During this process, the positioning center axis P moves from the starting positioning point P0 along the first trajectory line S towards the door side wall 32 and the door rear wall 33; specifically, the positioning center axis P moves from the starting positioning point P0 along the first trajectory line S, passing through the first positioning point P1 and the second positioning point P2, towards the door side wall 32 and the door rear wall 33 to the third positioning point P3; the guide center axis I of the guide block 5 moves relative to the guide groove 7 from the starting guide point I0 along the second trajectory line K towards the second guide endpoint K2 (near the door rear wall 33); specifically, the guide center axis I moves from the starting guide point I0 along the second trajectory line K, passing through the first guide point I1 and the second guide point I2, towards the door rear wall 33 to the third guide point I3.

[0147] In this application, the side of the refrigerator facing the user when in use is defined as the front side, and the opposite side is defined as the rear side; the side of the reference plane M0 away from the inner cavity of the storage room is defined as the outer side, and the opposite side closer to the storage room is defined as the inner side; this definition of the direction of use by the user is used as the reference for explanation.

[0148] During the first stage of opening (0°~G3) of the door 30, the second trajectory line K is parallel to the door side wall 32. As the door 30 rotates counterclockwise relative to the housing 10, the second trajectory line K also rotates counterclockwise during this first stage of opening. During this first stage, the second trajectory line K begins to rotate counterclockwise from a state parallel to the reference plane M0. The angle between the second trajectory line K and the plane containing the retrieval opening gradually decreases, while the angle between it and the reference plane M0 gradually increases. That is, during this first stage of opening, relative to the housing 10, in the direction from the rear door wall 33 to the front door wall 31, the second trajectory line K extends away from the second side wall and away from the retrieval opening. In other words, during this first stage of opening, in the direction from the rear door wall 33 to the front door wall 31 (from the second guide endpoint K2 to the first guide endpoint K1), the second trajectory line K always extends outward and forward. That is, during the process of the door 30 opening from the closed state to G3, the second trajectory line K extends inward and backward along the direction from the first guide endpoint K1 to the second guide endpoint K2.

[0149] During the opening process in the first stage described above, taking the positioning groove 6 and guide groove 7 as references, when the door 30 opens from 0° to G3, the axis segment IP rotates clockwise from I0P0 and moves inward and backward sequentially to I1P1, I2P2, and I3P3 (I0P0→I1P1→I2P2→I3P3). Since the positioning groove 6 and guide groove 7 are set on the door 30, and the axis segment IP represents the movement of the guide block 5 set on the housing 10, it can be concluded that: taking the door 30 as a reference, during the entire process of opening the door 30 from the closed state to G3, the housing 10 (i.e., the guide block 5) maintains a clockwise rotation relative to the door 30 and moves towards the second guide endpoint K2 along the second trajectory line K; that is, the housing 10 maintains a clockwise and inward and backward tendency relative to the door 30.

[0150] Based on the relativity of motion, taking the housing 10 as a reference (i.e., the guide block 5 as a reference), during the entire process of opening the door 30 from the closed state to G3, the door 30 (i.e., the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7) rotates counterclockwise relative to the housing 10 and moves towards the first guide endpoint K1; that is, the door 30 maintains a counterclockwise rotation relative to the housing 10 and a tendency to move outward and forward. In other words, during the entire process of opening the door 30 from the closed state to G3, the door 30 moves outward and forward a certain distance relative to the housing 10, thereby preventing the opened door 30 from causing another door 30 to open and resulting in heat loss.

[0151] The second stage, such as Figure 23 As shown, door 30 is rotated open from G3 to G. max (G max During the process of >90°.

[0152] In the second stage, the door body 30 is opened by G3 through G4, G5 to G max In the process, the positioning center axis P is moved by the third positioning point P3 along the first trajectory line S to the direction close to the door side wall 32 and the door front wall 31. Specifically, the positioning center axis P is moved by the third positioning point P3 along the first trajectory line S to the direction close to the door side wall and the door front wall 31 through the fourth positioning point P4, the fifth positioning point P5 to the sixth positioning point P6 in sequence.

[0153] In the opening process of the second stage, when the door body 30 is rotated and opened from G3 to G4 (G4=90°), the movement trend of the second trajectory line K is consistent with that in the first stage (not described here). That is, before the door body 30 is rotated and opened from G3 to G4 (G4=90°), the second trajectory line K always extends outward and forward relative to the cabinet 10 in the direction from the second guide end point K2 to the first guide end point K1. That is, in the process that the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to G3, the second trajectory line K extends inward and backward in the direction from the first guide end point K1 to the second guide end point K2.

[0154] When the door body 30 is opened to 90°, the second trajectory line K is parallel to the plane where the taking and placing opening is located, and perpendicular to the reference plane M0; that is, relative to the cabinet 10, the second trajectory line K extends from outside to inside in the direction from the first guide end point K1 to the second guide end point K2.

[0155] When the door body 30 is rotated and opened from G4 (G4=90°) to G max , the second trajectory line K starts to rotate counterclockwise from the state perpendicular to the reference plane M0, the angle between the second trajectory line K and the plane where the taking and placing opening is located gradually increases, and the angle between the second trajectory line K and the reference plane M0 gradually decreases; that is, in the process that the door body 30 is rotated and opened from G4 (G4=90°) to G max , the second trajectory line K always extends outward and backward relative to the cabinet 10 in the direction from the door rear wall 33 to the door front wall 31 (the direction from the second guide end point K2 to the first guide end point K1). That is, in the process that the door body 30 is rotated and opened from G4 (G4=90°) to G max , the second trajectory line K extends inward and forward in the direction from the first guide end point K1 to the second guide end point K2.

[0156] In the opening process of the second stage, the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are taken as reference objects for analysis;

[0157] (1) As Figure 19As shown, when the door body 30 is opened from G3 to G4, the shaft center line segment IP rotates clockwise from I3P3 and moves inwardly and backwardly to I4P4 in sequence (I3P3→I4P4). In this process, the second trajectory line K extends inwardly and backwardly along the direction from the first guide end point K1 to the second guide end point K2. In addition, since the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are arranged on the door body 30, the shaft center line segment IP represents the movement of the guide round block 5 arranged on the cabinet 10. Therefore, it is concluded that, with the door body 30 as the reference, during the whole process of opening the door body 30 from G3 to G4, the cabinet 10 (i.e. the guide round block 5) keeps rotating clockwise relative to the door body 30 and moves along the second trajectory line K to the direction close to the second guide end point K2. Specifically, the guide center axis I moves from the third guide point I3 to the fourth guide point I4 along the second trajectory line K close to the door rear wall 33. That is, the cabinet 10 keeps the trend of rotating clockwise and moving inwardly and backwardly relative to the door body 30.

[0158] According to the relativity of motion, with the cabinet 10 as the reference (i.e. with the guide round block 5 as the reference), during the whole process of opening the door body 30 from G3 to G4, the door body 30 (i.e. the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7) keeps rotating counterclockwise relative to the cabinet 10 and moves to the direction close to the first guide end point K1. That is, the door body 30 keeps the trend of rotating counterclockwise and moving outwardly and forwardly relative to the cabinet 10. That is, during the whole process of opening the door body 30 from the closed state to G3, the door body 30 moves outwardly and forwardly relative to the cabinet 10 by a certain distance.

[0159] (2) As shown in Figures 19-21 , referring to Figure 15 and Figure 23 , when the door body 30 is opened from G4 to G max , the shaft center line segment IP rotates clockwise from I4P4 and moves inwardly and forwardly to I6P6 in sequence (I4P4→I5P5→I6P6). In this process, the second trajectory line K extends inwardly and forwardly along the direction from the first guide end point K1 to the second guide end point K2. In addition, since the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are arranged on the door body 30, the shaft center line segment IP represents the movement of the guide round block 5 arranged on the cabinet 10. Therefore, it is concluded that, with the door body 30 as the reference, during the whole process of opening the door body 30 from G4 to G max , the cabinet 10 (i.e. the guide round block 5) keeps rotating clockwise relative to the door body 30 and moves along the second trajectory line K to the direction close to the second guide end point K2. Specifically, the guide center axis I moves from the fourth guide point I4 to the sixth guide point I6 along the second trajectory line K through the fifth guide point I5 close to the door rear wall 33. That is, the cabinet 10 keeps the trend of rotating clockwise and moving inwardly and forwardly relative to the door body 30.

[0160] According to the relativity of motion, with the cabinet 10 as the reference (i.e. with the guide round block 5 as the reference), during the whole process of opening the door body 30 from G4 to G maxDuring the whole process, the door body 30 (i.e. the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7) rotates counterclockwise relative to the cabinet 10 and moves towards the direction close to the first guide end point K1; that is, the door body 30 keeps the tendency of counterclockwise rotation and outward and backward movement relative to the cabinet 10. That is, the door body 30 is opened from G4 to G max During the whole process, the door body 30 moves outward and backward relative to the cabinet 10 by a certain distance. During the above opening process, the door body 30 moves backward, effectively compensating for the distance of the previous forward movement of the door body 30, avoiding excessive forward movement caused by the rotation of the door body 30, and making the door body 30 significantly separate from the cabinet 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the door body 30 in this state.

[0161] In summary, the movement tendency of the door body 30 during the opening process is as follows:

[0162] (1) During the process of opening the door body 30 from the closed state to G4, the door body 30 moves outward and forward relative to the cabinet 10 by a certain distance; in combination with Figures 24-26 , when the door body 30 is opened, the side sealing strip 3 carried by the opened door body 30 moves outward, and the moving side sealing strip 3 quickly separates from the side sealing strip on the other door body 30 (see the change of the area in the dashed box Figure 25 and Figure 26 ), effectively avoiding the opening of the other door body 30 caused by the movement of the side sealing strip. That is, this stage can avoid the opening of the other door body 30 when one of the two oppositely arranged door bodies 30 is opened, effectively reducing the loss of cold energy; at the same time, it can effectively reduce the shielding of the door body 30 to the access opening; and it can effectively avoid the interference between the door body 30 and the cabinet 10 during the opening process.

[0163] (2) During the process of opening the door body 30 from G4 to G max , the door body 30 moves outward and backward relative to the cabinet 10 by a certain distance; this stage effectively compensates for the distance of the previous forward movement of the door body 30, avoids excessive forward movement caused by the rotation of the door body 30, and makes the door body 30 significantly separate from the cabinet 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the door body 30 in this state; at the same time, it can effectively reduce the shielding of the door body 30 to the access opening;

[0164] (3) During the process of opening the door body 30 from the closed state to the maximum angle G max , the door body 30 always has the tendency of outward movement, which can effectively reduce the shielding of the door body 30 to the access opening, so that the drawer stored in the storage compartment can fully utilize the width of the storage compartment to increase the width size of the drawer, increase the space utilization rate of the drawer, and ensure that it can be pulled out from the storage compartment.

[0165] In summary, the setting with the above trajectory characteristics can avoid one of the two oppositely arranged door bodies 30 from being opened when the other door body 30 is opened, effectively reducing the loss of cold energy. On the other hand, the setting can also avoid the door body 30 from blocking the taking and placing opening when the door body 30 is opened to the maximum angle, thereby facilitating the increase of the width size of the drawer.

[0166] In summary, in combination with Figures 15-23 With the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 as the reference objects, the axis line segment IP always rotates clockwise and moves relative to the second trajectory line K to the direction close to the second guide end point K2. Specifically, the movement direction of the axis line segment IP relative to the second trajectory line K is I0P0→I1P1→I2P2→I3P3→I4P4→I5P5→I6P6. In the present application, the movement trend of the axis line segment IP relative to the second trajectory line K is consistent, and the movement is continuous without acceleration mutation. The door body 30 is good in stress when opened, more stable and smoother.

[0167] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figures 27-33 shown, with the box body 10 (the hinge shaft 4 and the guide circular block 5) as the reference object, the door body 30 (the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7) rotates and opens relative to the box body 10, corresponding to the door body 30 being opened to 0°, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G max , the position of the first side edge W relative to the guide circular block 5 is located at W0, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6 in turn; that is, during the rotation and opening of the door body 30 to G max , the movement trajectory of the first side edge W is a curve in which W0, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6 are located at the same time. It can be concluded that during the entire process of the door body 30 being first rotated and moved outward and forward and then being rotated and moved outward and backward, the first side edge W is first moved outward by a certain distance and then maintains the trend of moving outward; and the first side edge W is moved outward to the maximum position when the door body 30 is rotated to G3. In the present embodiment, G3∈[48°, 52°] any value, so it is concluded that the first side edge W is moved outward to the maximum point when the door body 30 is opened to an angle of about 50°.

[0168] It is assumed that the door body 30 rotates around the fixed shaft (the guide center axis I), and the door body 30 is opened to 0°, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G max , the position of the first side edge W relative to the guide circular block 5 is located at W`0, W`1, W`2, W`3, W`4, W`5, W`6 in turn.

[0169] Compared with the mode that the door body 30 rotates around the fixed shaft (the guide center shaft I), it can be known that W1 is located at the outward and forward side of W`1, W2 is located at the outward and forward side of W`2, W3 is located at the outward and forward side of W`3, W4 is located at the outward side of W`4, W5 is located at the outward and backward side of W`5, and W6 is located at the outward and backward side of W`6. In summary, compared with the mode that the door body 30 rotates around the fixed shaft (the guide center shaft I), in the whole process that the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to G max , the first side edge W always moves outward by a certain distance.

[0170] In the embodiment of the present application, when the door body 30 is opened to , the door body 30 moves outward while rotating. That is, in the process of opening from the initial state in which the relative positions of the guide round block 5 and the guide groove 7 and the hinge shaft 4 and the positioning groove 6 are as shown in the embodiment of the present application, , the door body 30 rotates and moves outward in the initial stage of opening, and both of the two oppositely arranged door bodies 30 can be avoided from being opened to drive the other door body 30 to be opened. Therefore, the guide round block 5 and the hinge shaft 4 can be arranged to be sequentially located at I1 and P1 above, or sequentially located at I2 and P2, or sequentially located at I3 and P3, and so on, when the door body 30 is closed, instead of being limited to being located at I0 and P0 in the present application. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the position of the axis radius IA of the guide round block 5 relative to the door body 30 when the door body 30 is opened to can be arranged to be the position of the axis radius IA of the guide round block 5 relative to the door body 30 in the initial state when the door body 30 is closed.

[0171] In the embodiment of the present application, in the whole process that the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to the maximum angle G max > 90°, the positions of the hinge shaft 4 in the positioning groove 6 and the positions of the guide round block 5 in the guide groove 7 always change and move in one direction, and there is no force mutation, so the movement is more smooth.

[0172] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 27-33 , assuming that the door body 30 rotates around the fixed shaft (the guide center shaft I), the positions of the side sealing edges H relative to the guide round block 5 are sequentially located at H`0, H`1, H`2, H`3, H`4, H`5 and H`6 when the door body 30 is opened to 0°, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 and G max .

[0173] Compared with the mode that the door body 30 rotates around the fixed shaft (the guide center shaft I), it can be known that H1 is located at the outward and forward side of H`1, H2 is located at the outward and forward side of H`2, H3 is located at the outward and forward side of H`3, H4 is located at the outward side of H`4, H5 is located at the outward and backward side of H`5, and H6 is located at the outward and backward side of H`6. In summary, compared with the mode that the door body 30 rotates around the fixed shaft (the guide center shaft I), the side sealing edge H always moves outward by a certain distance during the whole process that the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to G max , which greatly increases the distance that the side sealing edge H moves outward and effectively reduces the transverse shielding of the door body 30 to the taking and placing opening.

[0174] In the embodiment, a second reference plane M2 is further defined. As shown in Figure 11 , the second reference plane M2 is the plane where the taking and placing opening of the storage chamber is located. The second reference plane M2 does not move during the opening process of the door body 30 relative to the cabinet 10 and is a reference plane that remains stationary relative to the cabinet 10.

[0175] During the process that the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to G5, the side sealing edge H always moves in the direction away from the second reference plane M2 and the reference plane M0;

[0176] During the process that the door body 30 is opened from G5 to the maximum angle G max , the side sealing edge H moves in the direction away from the second reference plane M2 and close to the reference plane M0;

[0177] That is, when the door body 30 is opened to G5, the distance between the side sealing edge H and the second reference plane M2 is the largest. In the embodiment, G5 = 103°.

[0178] As an implementable mode, during the process that the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to G5, the movement track of the side sealing edge H is a circular arc; that is, during the opening process of the door body 30, the side sealing edge H moves in a circular arc. The "circular arc" includes a standard circular arc defined in mathematics and also includes an arc line with a small deviation from the standard circular arc. As an implementable mode, the small deviation is limited within 1 mm. The hinge with the above track characteristics and the track changing mechanism of the door body 20 make the opening of the door body 30 more smooth.

[0179] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 15 , during the process that the door body 30 is rotated from the closed state to the maximum angle G max , the relative positional relationship between the center of mass plane F and the guide center shaft I and the positioning center shaft P constantly changes, which is described below.

[0180] The distance between the guide center axis I and the centroid plane F in the projection of the top wall of the cabinet 10 is denoted as the offset distance J; in the process of opening the door body from the closed state to G`, the guide center axis I is located on the side of the centroid plane F close to the front wall of the door in the projection of the plane where the top wall of the cabinet is located; in the opening process, the offset distance gradually decreases with the increase of the opening angle of the door body, and the offset distance J is 0 when the door body is opened to G`.

[0181] In the process of opening the door body from G` to G max , the guide center axis I is located on the side of the centroid plane F away from the front wall of the door in the projection of the plane where the top wall of the cabinet is located; in the opening process, the offset distance gradually increases with the increase of the opening angle of the door body.

[0182] The above is explained from another angle, when the guide center axis I is located on the side of the centroid plane F close to the front wall 31 of the door, the offset distance J is positive; correspondingly, when the guide center axis I is located on the side of the centroid plane F away from the front wall 31 of the door, the offset distance J is negative; when the guide center axis I is located on the centroid plane F, the offset distance J is 0;

[0183] In the process of opening the door body 30 from the closed state to G`, the offset distance J between the guide center axis I and the centroid plane F shows a decreasing trend. And when the door body is opened to G`, the offset distance J is 0; it can be set that G` = 22°.

[0184] In the process of opening the door body 30 from G` to G max , the offset distance J is negative, and the offset distance J shows a decreasing trend with the increase of the opening angle.

[0185] In some embodiments of the present application, when the door body 30 is opened to G0, G1, G`, G2, G3, G4, G5, G max , the offset distances are denoted as J0, J1, J`, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6 in turn; J0 > J1 > J` = 0 > J2 > J3 > J4 > J5 > J6.

[0186] In the above embodiment, in the process of opening the door body 30 from the closed state to G max , the offset distance J (when the position is divided into positive and negative, it is the absolute value of J) is any value between 0 and 7 mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the centroid plane F of the door body 30 and the guide center axis is effectively limited, so that the centroid plane F is always near the guide center axis I, effectively enhancing the stability of the door body 30 in the whole opening process.

[0187] When the door body 30 is closed, the centroid plane F is located between the guide center axis I and the positioning center axis P, further ensuring the stability of the door body 30 in the closed state.

[0188] In some embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator door is flush with the side of the cabinet when the door is opened to 90°.

[0189] and avoid the door body from exceeding the side wall of the cabinet too much when the door is opened to 90°, and blocking the bulge of the cabinet due to foaming.

[0190] As an implementable manner, in combination with Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the door body 30 is closed, the positioning center axis P is located at the starting positioning point P0 of the first trajectory line S; the distance between the starting positioning point P0 and the reference plane M0 is L1. The front wall 31 of the door body is parallel to the plane where the taking and placing opening is located.

[0191] When the door body 30 is opened to 90°, the front wall 31 of the door body is parallel to the first body side wall; the positioning center axis P is located at the fourth positioning point P4 of the first trajectory line S; the distance between the fourth positioning point P4 and the front wall 31 of the door body is L2.

[0192] When L1=L2, the front wall 31 of the door body is flush with the first body side wall of the cabinet 10 when the door body 30 is opened to 90°; wherein L1 and L2 are equal, which is specifically defined as the difference between L1 and L2 being any value within the range of -2mm to 2mm.

The hinge plate 40 and the guide block 5 are separately arranged, thereby facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the parts.

[0208] In addition, in this embodiment, the guide block 5 can be formed by injection molding or die casting.

[0209] It should be noted that in the direction perpendicular to the hinge plate 40, the thickness of the guide block 5 is higher than the depth of the recess 55, so as to ensure that the guide block 5 is at least partially located outside the recess 55, thereby realizing the cooperation between the guide block 5 and the guide groove 7.

[0210] Figures 42-52 Fig. 7 is a schematic view of a structure for locking the door body and the cabinet in the present application; refer to Figures 42-52 In some embodiments of the present application, the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are formed on the door body 30, and the door body 30 is fixed with a locking block installed at a position adjacent to the guide groove 7 on the door body 30. In this embodiment, the end of the hinge away from the first body side wall is provided with a first matching portion, and the locking block is provided with a second matching portion for cooperating with the first matching portion to realize the locking and unlocking of the door body 30 and the cabinet 10.

[0211] Specifically, the locking block arranged at the lower end of the door body 30 is taken as an example for illustration in the embodiment. The door body 30 comprises a door end cover 38 arranged at the end of the door body 30 close to the hinge. The door end cover 38 has a positioning groove 6 and a guide groove 7 close to the hinge. That is, in the embodiment, the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are integrally formed on the door end cover 38. In the embodiment, the door end cover 38 is an injection molding part which is integrally formed by injection molding and has the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 formed thereon. As mentioned above, the guide groove 7 is defined by the cooperation of the first guide strip 8 and the second guide strip 9.

[0212] The door end cover 38 is provided with a receiving groove 37 at a position away from the adjacent position of the door side wall 32, and the locking block is inserted into the receiving groove 37 and then fastened and connected with the door body 30 by screws or the like.

[0213] In the embodiment, the second cooperation part of the locking block is arranged as a locking hook 82. The locking hook 82 extends away from the door side wall 32 and is bent towards the side close to the door back wall 33 and the door side wall 32, and the opening of the locking hook 82 faces the door side wall 32, and the free end of the locking hook 82 is located at the side close to the door back wall 33.

[0214] The first cooperation part arranged at the side away from the first body side wall of the hinge plate 40 is arranged as a stopper 41, and the side close to the box body of the stopper 41 is formed with a hooking gap 42; when the door body 30 is in the closed state, the free end of the locking hook 82 is accommodated in the hooking gap 42, the stopper 41 is located in the locking hook 82, and the locking hook 82 on the door body 30 hooks the stopper 41 on the hinge plate 40, so as to lock the door body 30 and avoid affecting the refrigeration and freezing effect of the refrigerator due to the door body 30 not being closed tightly; when the door body 30 is opened, the locking hook 82 is deformed under force to overcome the block of the stopper 41, so as to be separated from the stopper 41.

[0215] The locking hook 82 can comprise a root connecting part 83 and a hooking part 84. The root connecting part 83 is fixedly connected with the receiving groove 37, and the hooking part 84 is connected with the root connecting part 83 and is bent towards the side close to the door back wall 33 and the door side wall 32. Screws are arranged to connect the root connecting part 83 with the door body 30, so as to strengthen the connection strength of the root connecting part 83 with the door body 30, so that only the hooking part 84 is deformed when the locking hook 82 is separated from the stopper 41.

[0216] The free ends of the hooking part 84 and the stopper 41 are both in the shape of a circular arc, which is beneficial to the smooth hooking or separation of the hooking part 84 from the stopper 41 along the circular arc.

[0217] In combination with Figures 42-52When the door body 30 is closed from the open state, the free end of the hooking part 84 gradually approaches the stop part 41 with the rotation closing of the door body 30, and when the hooking part 84 abuts against the stop part 41, the door body 10 continues to close, the hooking part 84 is deformed under the action of the stop part 41, the stop part 41 enters the hooking part 84, and the free end of the hooking part 84 enters the hooking gap 42; the lock hook 82 is locked with the hinge plate 40, and the locking of the door body 30 and the box body 10 is realized. When the door body 30 is opened from the closed state, the process is opposite to that of the door body closing, which will not be described here. When the door body 30 is closed from the open state to an angle less than 7°, the door body 30 is automatically closed under the action of the hooking part 84 and the stop part 41; when the door body is opened to 5° to 8°, the hooking part 84 and the stop part 41 are separated.

[0218] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35 can be arranged in the accommodating groove 37 on the door body 30, and the gap groove 36 is formed between the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35; the first protrusion 34 is located on the side of the second protrusion 35 close to the door front wall 31 and the door side wall 32. The insertion plate 85 is formed at the root connecting part 83 and is inserted into the gap groove 36, so that the deformation of the root connecting part 83 in the direction from the door front wall 31 to the door rear wall 33 can be avoided by the limiting of the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35.

[0219] Specifically, the insertion plate 85 is arranged as an arc-shaped plate; the second protrusion 35 is an arc-shaped plate, the edge of the first protrusion 34 close to the second protrusion 35 is consistent with the shape of the second protrusion 35, and the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35 jointly define the arc-shaped gap groove 36; the arc-shaped insertion plate 85 cooperates with the arc-shaped gap groove 36. The above arc-shaped arrangement increases the limiting area of the gap groove 36 to the root connecting part 83, increases the connection strength of the locking block and the door body 30, and effectively limits the deformation of the root connecting part 83.

[0220] The locking block can be made of POM material, which has the characteristics of strong friction resistance and can improve the service life of the hinge.

[0221] Figures 53-55 It is a schematic view of the structure of the door body and the box body in the present application; refer to Figures 53-55 In some embodiments of the present application, the door body 30 includes a door end cover 38 arranged at the end of the door body 30 close to the hinge; the mounting block is arranged at the position opposite to the hinge plate 40 on the door end cover 38, and the positioning groove 6 and the guide groove 7 are formed on the mounting block. In the present embodiment, the first matching part is arranged at the end of the hinge away from the first body side wall, and the mounting block has the second matching part, which is used to cooperate with the first matching part to realize the locking and unlocking of the door body 30 and the box body 10.

[0222] Specifically, the mounting block arranged at the lower end of the door body 30 is taken as an example for illustration in the embodiment. In the embodiment, the mounting block is integrally formed.

[0223] The mounting block comprises a positioning groove 6, which comprises a groove bottom 70 and a circumferential groove wall 71. The circumferential groove wall 71 surrounds the edge of the groove bottom 70, and the circumferential groove wall 71 surrounds the groove opening 72 opposite to the groove bottom 70. The mounting block comprises a plate body 81 arranged at the groove opening 72 of the positioning groove 6 and surrounding the groove opening 72 of the positioning groove 6. The plate body 81 is provided with a first guide strip 8 and a second guide strip 9. The first guide strip 8 is arranged at the side of the positioning groove 6 away from the door side wall 32, and the second guide strip 9 is arranged at the side of the positioning groove 6 away from the door side wall 32. In addition, the door end cover 38 at the lower end of the door body 30 is provided with a receiving groove 37. The mounting block is inserted into the receiving groove 37, and then the plate body 81 is fastened and connected with the door body 30 by screws or the like. As a settable mode, the end of the plate body 81 close to the door back wall 33 is provided with a clamping interface 86. The inner wall of the receiving groove 37 is provided with a clamping protrusion 371 matched with the clamping interface 86. When the mounting block is inserted into the receiving groove 37, the clamping protrusion 371 is installed in the clamping interface 86 to limit the relative position of the mounting block and the door body 30. In the embodiment, the screw is fixed at the side of the plate body 81 away from the door side wall 32, i.e. the screw fixing position is located at the side of the clamping interface 86 and the clamping matching position of the clamping protrusion 371 away from the door side wall 32, which effectively increases the connection firmness of the mounting block and the door body 30. In the embodiment, the area of the receiving groove 37 close to the door side wall 32 is formed with a receiving cavity 39. The positioning groove 6 is installed in the receiving cavity 39, and the circumferential groove wall 71 is matched with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 39.

[0224] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figures 53-55 , the second matching part on the mounting block is set as a lock hook structure. Specifically, the second matching part comprises a lock hook 82 arranged at the side of the plate body 81 away from the door side wall 32. The lock hook 82 extends away from the door side wall 32 and is bent to form a side close to the door back wall 33 and the door side wall 32. The opening of the lock hook 82 faces the plate body 81 (the opening of the lock hook 82 faces the door side wall 32), and the free end of the lock hook 82 is located at the side close to the door back wall 33.

[0225] The first matching part arranged at the side of the hinge plate 40 away from the first body side wall is set as a stopper 41. The side close to the box body of the stopper 41 is formed with a hooking gap 42. When the door body 30 is in the closed state, the free end of the lock hook 82 is accommodated in the hooking gap 42, and the stopper 41 is located in the lock hook 82. The lock hook 82 on the door body 30 hooks the stopper 41 on the hinge plate 40, thereby locking the door body 30, avoiding the door body 30 from being closed tightly, and affecting the refrigeration and freezing effect of the refrigerator. When the door body 30 is opened, the lock hook 82 is deformed under force to overcome the block of the stopper 41, thereby being separated from the stopper 41.

[0226] The locking hook 82 can include a root connecting portion 83 and a hooking portion 84. The root connecting portion 83 is connected with the plate body 81, and the hooking portion 84 is connected with the root connecting portion 83 and is bent towards the side close to the door rear wall 33 and the door side wall 32. A screw is arranged through the root connecting portion 83 to connect with the door body 30, so as to strengthen the connection strength of the root connecting portion 83 with the door body 30, so that only the hooking portion 84 is deformed when the locking hook 82 is separated from the stop portion 41.

[0227] The free end of the hooking portion 84 and the free end of the stop portion 41 are both in the shape of a circular arc, which is beneficial for the hooking portion 84 to smoothly hook or separate from the stop portion 41 along the circular arc.

[0228] When the door body 30 is closed from the open state, with the rotation closing of the door body 30, the free end of the hooking portion 84 gradually approaches the stop portion 41. When the hooking portion 84 abuts against the stop portion 41, the door body 10 continues to close, the hooking portion 84 is deformed under the action of the stop portion 41, the stop portion 41 enters the hooking portion 84, and the free end of the hooking portion 84 enters the hooking gap 42; the locking hook 82 is locked with the hinge plate 40, and the locking of the door body 30 and the cabinet 10 is realized. When the door body 30 is opened from the closed state, the process is opposite to that of the door body closing, which will not be described here. When the door body 30 is closed from the open state to an angle less than 7°, the door body 30 is automatically closed under the action of the hooking portion 84 and the stop portion 41; when the door body is opened to 5° to 8°, the hooking portion 84 and the stop portion 41 are separated.

[0229] In some embodiments, the door body 30 can be provided with a first protrusion 34 and a second protrusion 35, and a gap slot 36 is formed between the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35; the first protrusion 34 is located on the side close to the door front wall 31 and the door side wall 32 of the second protrusion 35. A plug-in plate 85 is formed at the root connecting portion 83, and the plug-in plate 85 is plugged into the gap slot 36. In this way, the deformation of the root connecting portion 83 in the direction from the door front wall 31 to the door rear wall 33 can be avoided by the limiting of the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35.

[0230] Specifically, the plug-in plate 85 is provided in the shape of an arc plate; the second protrusion 35 is provided in the shape of an arc plate, the edge of the first protrusion 34 close to the second protrusion 35 is consistent with the shape of the second protrusion 35, and the first protrusion 34 and the second protrusion 35 jointly define an arc-shaped gap slot 36; the plug-in plate 85 in the shape of an arc plate cooperates with the arc-shaped gap slot 36. The above arc-shaped arrangement increases the limited area of the gap slot 36 to the root connecting portion 83, increases the connection strength of the mounting block with the door body 30, and effectively limits the deformation of the root connecting portion 83.

[0231] Optionally, the mounting block at the upper end of the door body 30 has a part provided only with the positioning slot 6 and the guide slot 7, and does not include a locking hook structure. Correspondingly, when the structure of the mounting block is changed, the receiving slot 37 provided on the door body is adapted to the same, so as to accommodate and fix the mounting block.

[0232] The mounting block can use POM material, POM has the characteristics of strong friction resistance, which can improve the service life of the hinge. In addition, in the embodiment, the positioning groove 6, the guide groove 7 and the lock hook structure are integrally formed to form the mounting block, which increases the structural precision and the integrity and strength of the mounting block. The mounting block which integrates the positioning groove 6, the guide groove 7 and the lock hook structure can be integrally formed by injection molding.

[0233] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
