[0042] In the related art, the door of a refrigerator is usually connected to the cabinet of the refrigerator through a pin of a hinge seat. At this time, the pin is exposed outside the door, which increases the friction between the pin and surrounding objects and may cause wear and damage to the pin. Secondly, the exposed pin may cause accidental touch or jamming of personnel, posing a safety hazard. At the same time, the pin exposed to the environment is susceptible to corrosion, reducing its durability and stability. In order to avoid the exposure of the pin, a hinge cover is generally used to cover the pin. However, during use, if the hinge cover falls off, the pin is exposed.

[0043] In a double-door refrigerator and a cross-door refrigerator, a hinge seat is often arranged between two door bodies, and a pin shaft portion on the hinge seat is exposed between the two door bodies.

[0044] The first embodiment of the utility model provides a hinge seat, see Figure 1 , including a seat body 100, a first pin shaft 200 and a second pin shaft 300, the seat body 100 includes a first support portion 110 and a second support portion 120, the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 are arranged opposite to each other; the first pin shaft 200 is connected to the first support portion 110, and the first pin shaft 200 is suitable for rotationally connecting with the first door body 400; the second pin shaft 300 is connected to the second support portion 120, and the second pin shaft 300 is suitable for rotationally connecting with the second door body 500; a gap 130 is formed between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120.

[0045] The first pin shaft 200 is suitable for being rotatably connected to the first door body 400. The first pin shaft 200 is suitable for being rotatably connected to the first door body 400. The embodiment of the utility model supports the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300 respectively through the first support seat and the second support seat to improve the bearing capacity of the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300; a gap 130 is formed between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 to prevent the first pin shaft 200 or the second pin shaft 300 from being exposed between the first door body 400 and the second door body 500.

[0046] It is understandable that a gap 130 is formed between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 to increase the distance between the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300, which is beneficial to hiding the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300 and preventing the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300 from being exposed. The distance between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 can be set according to the distance between the first door body 400 and the second door body 500, and the embodiment of the utility model is not particularly limited to this.

[0047] It is understandable that the first pin shaft 200 can be arranged on the side of the first support portion 110 away from the second support portion 120, and the second pin shaft 300 can be arranged on the side of the second support portion 120 away from the first support portion 110, so as to realize the rotation connection between the first door body 400 and the second door body 500, and a hinge seat can be used to support the first door body 400 and the second door body 500. Since the gap 130 is formed between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, the risk of the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300 being exposed between the first door body 400 and the second door body 500 is reduced.

[0048] In one embodiment, the base 100 includes a fixing plate 140, and the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 are respectively connected to the fixing plate 140. The base 100 can be fixed to the cabinet 700 of the refrigerator or other fixed objects through the fixing plate 140. By fixing the fixing plate 140, the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 can be fixed simultaneously, which reduces the installation process and improves the efficiency of the installation.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 are located on the same side of the fixing plate 140, which is conducive to unifying the setting direction of the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, so that the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 protrude from the cabinet 700 of the refrigerator in the same direction, which is convenient for supporting the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300; wherein the fixing plate 140 has an installation side 142 and a fixed side (not shown in the figure) opposite to each other, and the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 are both arranged on the installation side 142, and the fixed side is suitable for connection with the cabinet 700 of the refrigerator, which is conducive to increasing the contact area between the fixing plate 140 and the cabinet 700 of the refrigerator, thereby improving stability.

[0050] In other embodiments, the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 may also be respectively fixed on the cabinet 700 of the refrigerator or other fixed objects, so as to facilitate adjustment of the width of the gap 130 between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, which is conducive to adapting to different usage scenarios.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 At least two fixing holes 141 are provided on the fixing plate 140 , and the hinge seat is fixed through the fixing holes 141 .

[0052] It is understandable that the fixing plate 140 is fixed by a plurality of fixing holes 141, so as to realize accurate positioning and fixing of the fixing plate 140, and ensure that the fixing plate 140 is installed in the correct position; a plurality of fixing holes 141 can ensure the stability and safety of the installation of the base 100, and reduce the risk of accidents during use. During installation, the fixing plate 140 can be fixed to the cabinet 700 or other fixed objects of the refrigerator by passing screws through the fixing holes 141. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing holes 141 can also be set to one, two, three, four, five or six. The number of the fixing holes 141 can be set according to actual needs, and the utility model does not specifically limit the number of the fixing holes 141.

[0053] In a double-door refrigerator or a cross-door refrigerator, the first door body 400 can be an upper door, and the second door body 500 can be a lower door, that is, when the refrigerator is in a working state, the first door body 400 is located at the upper end of the second door body 500, the first support portion 110 is located at the lower end of the first door body 400, and the second support portion 120 is located at the upper end of the second door body 500; accordingly, compared with the second support portion 120, the first support portion 110 bears a heavier load.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 to Figure 2 , at least one fixing hole 141 is located on the side of the first support portion 110 away from the second support portion 120, which can improve the stability of the base 100, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the base 100, and preventing the base 100 from falling off due to excessive pressure from the first door body 400 on the base 100; setting one of the fixing holes 141 on the side of the first support portion 110 away from the second support portion 120 is conducive to maintaining the force balance on both sides of the first support portion 110, and preventing the base 100 from breaking or deforming when the force is too large. Of course, in other embodiments, the position of the fixing hole 141 can also be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the utility model does not specifically limit the specific distribution of the fixing holes 141.

[0055] In other embodiments, the fixing plate 140 may also be fixed by a snap-fit ​​connection method or the like. The embodiment of the utility model does not particularly limit the specific connection method of the fixing plate 140 .

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 At least one of the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 is a plate.

[0057] It is understandable that the plate body as a supporting structure can provide a stable supporting platform to ensure that the first pin shaft 200 or the second pin shaft 300 will not shake or tilt during operation, thereby ensuring stability and safety. Secondly, the plate body can help evenly distribute the load, reduce local stress, and avoid deformation or damage. Furthermore, using the plate body as a supporting structure is convenient for processing and material acquisition.

[0058] The first support portion 110 may be a plate body to support the first pin shaft 200; the second support portion 120 may be a plate body to support the second pin shaft 300; or the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 may both be plate bodies to support the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300 respectively; in the embodiment of the utility model, a gap 130 is formed between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 to shorten the distance between the first pin shaft 200 located on the first support portion 110 and the first door body 400, and the distance between the second pin shaft 300 located on the second support portion 120 and the second door body 500, thereby reducing the distance between the first pin shaft 200 and the second door body 500. There is a risk that the second pin shaft 300 is exposed between the first door body 400 and the second door body 500; therefore, the first support portion 110 or the second support portion 120 is set as a plate body, which is conducive to hiding the first support portion 110 or the second support portion 120, thereby avoiding exposure of the first pin shaft 200 and the second pin shaft 300; wherein, the first support portion 110 can abut against the end of the first door body 400, and the second support portion 120 can abut against the end of the first door body 400; or, a first buckle groove 430 for accommodating the first support portion 110 can be opened at the end of the first door body 400, or a second buckle groove 530 for accommodating the second support portion 120 can be opened at the end of the second door body 500.

[0059] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second supporting portion 120 is provided with a first avoidance gap 121 , and the first avoidance gap 121 is suitable for avoiding the edge sealing plate 520 of the second door body 500 .

[0060] It can be understood that a first avoidance gap 121 is provided, and the first avoidance gap 121 is suitable for avoiding the edge sealing plate 520 of the second door body 500, so as to prevent the second door body 500 from being obstructed by the second support portion 120 during rotation, which is conducive to the smooth opening and closing of the second door body 500; wherein, the edge sealing plate 520 is located on the side where the first door body 400 is hinged to the cabinet body 700 of the refrigerator, and the edge sealing plate 520 is suitable for closing the edge of the door body.

[0061] Correspondingly, a second avoidance notch (not shown in the figure) may also be provided on the first support portion 110 to avoid the edge sealing plate 520 of the first door body 400 .

[0062] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The hinge seat further includes a decorative piece 600, which is installed in the gap 130. The decorative piece serves to decorate the gap 130, reduces the risk of the fixing plate 140 being directly exposed to the outside, and protects the fixing plate 140; the gap 130 is formed between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, and the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 can both be plates. Since the surface of the plates is relatively flat, it is convenient to assemble the decorative piece 600. The decorative piece can be respectively abutted against the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, and the decorative piece can be fixed in the gap 130 by using the friction between the decorative piece and the first support portion 110, and the friction between the decorative piece and the second support portion 120.

[0063] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the decorative piece 600 can cover the gap 130, and a groove 610 is provided on the inner side of the decorative piece 600; the base 100 is at least partially located in the groove 610. The base 100 can be partially embedded in the decorative sheet, which enhances the stability of the decorative sheet installation and reduces the risk of the decorative sheet slipping; the size of the decorative sheet in the width direction of the refrigerator is equal to the width of the refrigerator, which is conducive to the decorative sheet filling between the first door body 400 and the second door body 500, avoiding the gap between the first door body and the second door body 500, and avoiding dirt hiding. The size of the decorative sheet in the thickness direction of the door body is equal to the thickness of the door body, which prevents the decorative sheet from protruding from the surface of the refrigerator, and facilitates daily cleaning.

[0064] The second embodiment of the utility model further provides a refrigerator.
