[0003] At present, the refrigerator door is composed of two semicircular metal parts, which are connected together by a hinge pin. Although the purpose of connecting the refrigerator door to the refrigerator is achieved, the hinge connection is relatively loose, and it is easy for the refrigerator door to not be completely closed with the refrigerator, affecting the closing tightness of the refrigerator door, causing cold air to leak out, and reducing the preservation effect of the refrigerator.

The cam is connected with a first cam on the other side of the first cam and is movably connected with the first cam. The cam is connected with a first cam on the other side of the first cam and is movably connected with the first cam. The cam is connected with a first cam on the other side of the first cam. The cam is connected with a first cam on the
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a first gasket and a second gasket are sleeved on the shaft between the second positioning wheel and the second cam, one side of the first gasket is fit connected to one side of the second positioning wheel, and one side of the second gasket is fit connected to one side of the second cam.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, through holes are provided on both sides of the mounting frame away from the insertion hole and the first mounting hole.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the positioning assembly includes a positioning hole, which is opened on the inner side of the shaft rod, a positioning rod is inserted into the inner side of the positioning hole, a sliding groove is opened on the inner side of the mounting plate, the sliding groove is connected to the positioning hole, a slider is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, one end of the slider is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning rod, and a spring is fixedly connected between the slider and the sliding groove.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, one end of the sliding block away from the spring is fixedly connected to a push block, and one side of the push block is fixedly connected to an anti-slip strip.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, both sides of the inner side of the slide groove are provided with limit grooves, the inner side of the limit groove is slidably connected with a limit block, and one end of the limit block is fixedly connected to one end of the slide block.
[0012] In summary, the utility model mainly has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] First, the utility model provides a first cam, a second cam, a first positioning wheel, a second positioning wheel, a mounting frame, a torsion spring, a mounting plate, etc. The torsion spring is responsible for closing the door. The first cam and the second cam generate torque when the torsion spring closes the door. When the door is closed to about 20 degrees, the torque generated by the cam is greater than the force of the torsion spring. Compared with traditional hinged parts, the refrigerator door is not easy to loosen after closing, thereby avoiding leakage of cold air and improving the freshness preservation effect of the refrigerator.
[0014] Second, the utility model facilitates the removal of the torsion spring from the shaft by providing a mounting frame, a first mounting hole, a mounting plate, a second mounting hole, and a positioning assembly, thereby improving the convenience of maintaining or replacing the torsion spring, and allowing the user to perform this operation easily and efficiently.

A nut 10 is threadedly connected to one side of the shaft rod 1. First positioning wheels 6 are sleeved on both sides of the mounting frame 3 on the shaft rod 1. One side of the first positioning wheel 6 is fit-connected to one side of the mounting frame 3. A second positioning wheel 7 is sleeved on the side of the shaft rod 1 away from the first positioning wheel 6. The second positioning wheel 7 is located between the nut 10 and the second cam 5.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A first gasket 8 and a second gasket 9 are sleeved on the shaft rod 1 between the second positioning wheel 7 and the second cam 5, one side of the first gasket 8 is fitted and connected to one side of the second positioning wheel 7, and one side of the second gasket 9 is fitted and connected to one side of the second cam 5; by arranging the first gasket 8 and the second gasket 9, both the first gasket 8 and the second gasket 9 are funnel-shaped structures, and two second gaskets 9 are provided to fill the possible small gap, so that the mounting frame 3 can be reliably installed on the shaft rod 1.
[0024] refer to Figure 1 Through holes 31 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 3 away from the insertion hole 32 and the first mounting hole 33; the circular through holes 31 are provided to connect and fix the refrigerator door.
[0025] refer to Figure 3-4The positioning assembly 13 includes a positioning hole 131, which is provided on one side of the interior of the shaft 1, a positioning rod 132 is inserted into the interior of the positioning hole 131, a slide groove 135 is provided on one side of the interior of the mounting plate 11, the slide groove 135 is connected to the positioning hole 131, a slider 133 is slidably connected to the interior of the slide groove 135, one end of the slider 133 is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning rod 132, a spring 134 is fixedly connected between the slider 133 and the slide groove 135, and a push block 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 133 away from the spring 134, and an anti-slip strip 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the push block 16; by setting the positioning assembly 13, the positioning rod 132 is inserted into the shaft through the mounting plate 11 The positioning rod 132 is in the positioning hole 131 of the rod 1 and is fixed to the positioning hole 131 under the action of the spring 134, so that the mounting plate 11 is fixed on the shaft rod 1 and will not slide again, thereby stabilizing the position of the mounting plate 11 and facilitating the installation of the torsion spring 2 on the shaft rod 1. Since the slider 133 can drive the spring 134 to move, the positioning rod 132 can be separated from the positioning hole 131, and the mounting plate 11 can be removed, thereby facilitating the removal of the torsion spring 2 from the mounting frame 3. By fixing the push block 16 at one end of the slider 133, it is convenient for the user to push the push block 16 to drive the slider 133 to move the positioning rod 132. A plurality of anti-slip strips 17 are fixed on the push block 16 to increase the friction resistance and facilitate the operation of the user.
[0026] refer to Figure 4 , both sides of the inner part of the slide groove 135 are provided with limiting grooves 14, and the inner part of the limiting groove 14 is slidably connected to the limiting block 15, and one end of the limiting block 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 133; by providing the limiting groove 14 on the inner wall of the slide groove 135, the limiting block 15 is fixed on the slider 133, and the limiting block 15 slides in the limiting groove 14, limiting the slider 133 from driving the positioning rod 132 to move the position, so that the deformation of the spring 134 is stable, which is conducive to the stable movement of the positioning rod 132 and will not be offset.
[0027] Principle and advantages of use: The mounting frame 3 is mounted on the refrigerator and connected to the door, and the first cam 4, the second cam 5, the first positioning wheel 6, the second positioning wheel 7, the mounting frame 3, the torsion spring 2, the mounting plate 11, etc. are used. The torsion spring 2 is responsible for closing the door. The first cam 4 and the second cam 5 produce torque when the torsion spring 2 closes the door. When the door is closed to about 20 degrees, the torsion produced by the cam is greater than the force of the torsion spring 2. Compared with the traditional hinged parts, the refrigerator door is not easy to loosen after closing, which prevents the cold air from leaking out and improves the fresh-keeping effect of the refrigerator. When the torsion spring 2 needs to be maintained, the push block 16 is pressed to drive the slider 133 to move, and the slider 133 drives the positioning rod 132 to move away from the positioning hole 131 in the shaft rod 1, and one side of the torsion spring 2 is removed from the second mounting hole 12 of the mounting plate 11, and then the mounting plate 11 is removed, and then the other side of the torsion spring 2 is removed from the first mounting hole 33 of the mounting frame 3, and the torsion spring 2 can be removed from the shaft rod 1, which improves the convenience of maintaining or replacing the torsion spring 2.
