Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to hinge technical field, concretely relates to a refrigerator integrated hinge. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a common refrigeration equipment, the refrigerator is widely used in commercial and household fields for storing various foods, medicines and other low-temperature preserved articles. The connecting hinge between the cabinet door and the cabinet plays a crucial role, not only ensuring the smooth opening and closing of the cabinet door, but also having good sealing performance, durability and stability in low-temperature environment. The traditional refrigerator hinge is usually composed of multiple independent parts, such as hinge seat, hinge shaft, connecting plate, etc. These parts are assembled together by welding, riveting or bolt connection. When opening the door, people often need a certain force to open it. However, when people use their hands with too much force, the upper and lower shelves of the hinge will collide with the opening of the door, causing impact on the refrigerator and damage to the hinge.

[0003] A novel refrigerator hinge is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN216277430U. The device is installed on the upper end of the movable shaft through the buffer base on the buffer device. When the cabinet door opens quickly and drives the movable shaft, the spring column at the lower end of the buffer base and the buffer cushion buffer the movable shaft to avoid the movable shaft from sliding too fast and colliding with the movable groove, thereby damaging the hinge. This not only reduces the impact force of the cabinet door, but also improves the service life of the hinge. However, when the device buffers the movable shaft through the buffer device, the buffer cushion and spring column are not provided with a limiting mechanism, which makes the spring column and buffer cushion prone to deviation, thereby reducing the buffering effect on the movable shaft.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model is proposed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
