[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and 2 The utility model provides a refrigerator hinge, comprising:

[0024] The movable block 1 is fixed on the refrigerator door, and a slider 11 is connected to its end;

[0025] The positioning block 2 is fixed on the refrigerator body, and a slider 2 21 movably connected to the slider 1 11 is arranged inside the positioning block 2;

[0026] A symmetrical L-shaped slot 22 is provided on the positioning block 2, and the sliding block 11 is slidably matched with the L-shaped slot 22, so that the movable block 1 is driven to rotate by the sliding block 11 sliding along the L-shaped slot 22.

[0027] In this embodiment, a hinge with a movable fulcrum is used to enable the fulcrum to move to both sides when the refrigerator door is opened, thereby avoiding interference between the refrigerator doors; specifically, when the refrigerator door is opened, the movable block 1 is driven to rotate, so that the slider 11 slides and rotates along the L-shaped groove 22.

[0028] It should be noted that the slider 21 only moves in a straight line, while the slider 11 moves in an arc.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , 2 4. A rotating shaft 111 is inserted into the slider 11. Both ends of the rotating shaft 111 extend to the outside of the slider 11 and slide in cooperation with the L-shaped slide groove 22.

[0030] In this embodiment, both ends of the rotating shaft 111 extend to the outside of the slider 11 and cooperate with the L-shaped sliding groove 22, which not only has a limiting function, but also can reduce the contact area and reduce the resistance of the movable block 1 when rotating, and has a good use effect.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 There are two rotating shafts 111, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the slider 1 11, and the slider 1 11 is rotatably connected with the slider 2 21 through the rotating shafts 111.

[0032] This embodiment is configured such that two rotating shafts 111 are provided, one of which maintains connection with the slider 2 21 , and the other is used to improve the stability of the slider 11 during rotation, and also to adapt to the structure of the L-shaped slide groove 22 .

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The slider 21 has a notch section 21a and an arc surface section 21b. The a end of the slider 11 is connected with the notch section 21a and always keeps in contact. The b end of the slider 11 slides along the arc surface section 21b when the movable block 1 rotates. The end of the arc surface section 21b is provided with a groove 21c adapted to the end of the slider 11b.

[0034] This embodiment is configured such that when the door is in a closed state, end a of the slider 11 abuts against the notch segment 21a, and has a limiting function when the door is in a closed state; when the door is opened to the maximum state, end b of the slider 11 slides along the arc segment 21b into the groove 21c, and also has a limiting function, thereby ensuring that the door will not move easily when in the open and closed states.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A spring 23 connected to the slider 21 is provided in the positioning block 2 , and the spring 23 is installed on the base 24 .

[0036] This embodiment is configured so that when the movable block 1 drives the box door to close, it has a tendency to actively close the door, and can drive the box door to automatically return to the closed state, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 1-3 , and also includes a guide seat 25 arranged in the positioning block 2, and the slider 21 is slidably matched with the guide seat 25.

[0038] This embodiment is configured such that the slider 2 21 moves in a directional straight line along the guide seat 25 when following the movement of the slider 1 11, thereby avoiding the problem of displacement.

[0039] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., then the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture as shown in the accompanying drawings. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0040] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or schemes that satisfy both A and B. In addition, "multiple" refers to more than two. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist.

[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
