[0075] Optionally, the hinge assembly 300 further includes a guide shaft 330. The upper end of the guide shaft 330 is connected to the hinge plate 310, and the lower end is movably inserted into the inner wall of the avoidance groove 210. In this way, since the avoidance groove 210 is a part of the door body 200, when the door body 200 rotates to open or close, the guide shaft 330 remains stationary relative to the door body 200. Under the action of the guide shaft 330, the rotation of the door body 200 is guided, making the rotation of the door body 200 more stable and the stability of the door body 200 higher during the opening and closing processes.

[0076] Optionally, a guide groove 212 is provided in the inner wall of the avoidance groove 210, and the lower end of the guide shaft 330 is movably inserted into the guide groove 212. In this way, when the door body 200 rotates to open or close, the guide shaft 330 remains stationary relative to the door body 200, and the guide groove 212 moves with the door body 200, causing the position of the guide shaft 330 in the guide groove 212 to change. The cooperation of the guide shaft 330 and the guide groove 212 is used to guide the rotation of the door body 200. Moreover, due to the length limitation of the guide groove 212, when the position of the guide shaft 330 in the guide groove 212 is at the end of the guide groove 212, the movement of the door body 200 is restricted, thereby restricting the opening angle of the door body 200.

[0077] Exemplarily, when the preset opening angle of the door body 200 is different, the corresponding length of the guide groove 212 is different. These parameters can be set during the production stage of the refrigerator, and the guide grooves 212 with different lengths can be produced according to the set parameters to better meet the needs of users.

[0078] The foregoing description and drawings sufficiently illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure to enable those skilled in the art to practice them.
