All other embodiments obtained fall within the protection scope of the disclosure. The embodiments described below and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict, if possible.
[0072] In the disclosure, unless explicitly defined and limited otherwise, the terms “mounting”, “connecting”, “connecting”, “fixing” and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or can be integrated; can be mechanically connected, or can be electrically connected; can be directly connected, or can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless explicitly defined otherwise. For a person of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0073] In the present application, unless specifically stated and limited otherwise, a first feature is "on" or "under" a second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature can be "over", "above" and "on top of" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is horizontally higher than the second feature. The first feature can be "under", "below" and "underneath" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is horizontally lower than the second feature.
[0074] In the description of the present specification, the description of the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "an example", "a specific example", or "some examples" and the like means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In the present specification, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, the person skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the present specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.
[0075] At present, during the conception and implementation of the present application, the applicant has found that at least the following problems exist: the existing scheme of the refrigerator vertical beam, that is, the turnover beam, increases a fixed buckle structure in the middle part of the vertical beam, and the fixed buckle structure shakes left and right after installation, resulting in a flash gap problem after assembly with the door liner, and causing overflow problem after foaming.
[0076] Specifically, Figure 2 A schematic view of the door body structure of the refrigerator provided for some embodiments is shown in Figure 3 A schematic view of the door body structure of the refrigerator provided for some embodiments is shown in Figure 2 A sectional view of the door body of A-A is shown in Figure 2 A sectional view of the door body of A-A is shown in Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, the vertical beam 131 is installed on the door body 130 through the mounting piece 150. In the field production, the door body 130 needs to be assembled in advance and foamed. During the assembly process, the frame 133 has uniform vertical ribs 160. First, the mounting piece 150 is clamped into the frame 133, and the bottom of the mounting piece 150 is matched with the vertical ribs 160 of the frame 133 to realize clamping in place.
[0077] Therefore, during the installation of the mounting piece 150, it is necessary to be inclined first, installed horizontally, and finally matched with the vertical rib 160. However, in actual production, the height of the vertical rib 160 has been processed, which causes interference when the mounting piece 150 is subsequently inclined and assembled. In order to avoid the interference problem, the height of the vertical rib 160 is generally reduced to ensure the assembly of the mounting piece 150. After the assembly of the mounting piece 150, there is a gap between the mounting piece 150 and the vertical rib 160, which causes the mounting piece 150 to exist left and right shaking. At the same time, the on-site personnel need to use foam to seal the mounting piece 150 comprehensively to avoid material leakage during foaming. This operation increases the working hours of personnel and increases the material cost of foam.
[0078] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the refrigerator provided by the present application solves the problem of the vertical beam shaking due to processing errors and the subsequent tilting problem of the vertical beam after foaming. Specifically, through the movable connection of the first clamping member with the vertical beam and the fixed connection of the clamping hook part of the second clamping member with the turned edge, the position of the vertical beam after installation is stable, avoiding the shaking and tilting of the vertical beam. The vertical beam can be sealed without additional foam after the installation of the inner container, saving the use of foam sealing material, simplifying the installation process, and reducing manual operation, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.
[0079] The content of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can understand the content of the present application more clearly and in detail.
[0080] Figure 1 The structure schematic diagram of the refrigerator provided by the present application, Figure 4 The structure schematic diagram of the refrigerator provided by the present application, Figure 5 The structure schematic diagram of the refrigerator provided by the present application, Figure 6 The structure schematic diagram of the refrigerator provided by the present application, Figure 7 The structure schematic diagram of the refrigerator provided by the present application, Figure 6 The structure schematic diagram of the refrigerator provided by the present application,
[0081] As shown in Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 The present application provides a refrigerator 100, comprising:
[0082] The refrigerator 100 comprises:
[0083] A rotating member 120;
[0084] A door body 130 movably connected to the refrigerator body 110 through the rotating member 120 and configured to open and close the refrigerating chamber, the door body 130 comprising:
[0085] A vertical beam 131 is located on the side of the door body 130 away from the rotating member 120.
[0086] A flange 132 is located on the side edge of the door body 130, and the vertical beam 131 is located on the flange 132.
[0087] A hook assembly 140 is arranged between the vertical beam 131 and the flange 132, and the hook assembly 140 includes:
[0088] A first clamping member 141 is movably connected with the vertical beam 131.
[0089] A second clamping member 142 is connected with the first clamping member 141, and the second clamping member 142 has a hook portion 1423 clamped on the flange 132 to connect the second clamping member 142 with the flange 132.
[0090] Through the above arrangement, the refrigerator 100 of the embodiment of the present application solves the problem of the shaking of the vertical beam 131 due to the machining error, and further solves the problem of the inclination of the vertical beam 131 after foaming. Specifically, through the movable connection of the first clamping member 141 with the vertical beam 131 and the fixed connection of the hook portion 1423 of the second clamping member 142 with the flange 132, the position of the vertical beam 131 after installation is ensured to be stable, and the shaking and inclination of the vertical beam 131 are avoided; the vertical beam 131 can be sealed by foam without additional foam sealing after installation of the inner container, the use of foam sealing material is saved, the installation process is simplified, and the manual operation is reduced, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.
[0091] It should be noted that the following will specifically describe each structure.
[0092] [Box body 110]
[0093] Reference Figure 1 The refrigerator 100 of the embodiment of the present application can include a box body 110 and a door body 130. The box body 110 can be configured with a refrigeration compartment. The refrigeration compartment has an opening 13221 for storing food and other items. The number of refrigeration compartments can be one or more. When the number of refrigeration compartments is more than one, the plurality of refrigeration compartments can be divided into a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment, or a variable temperature compartment, etc.
[0094] Exemplarily, the box body 110 can include a box shell and a box inner container. The box shell is used to define the outer boundary of the refrigerator 100. The box inner container can be arranged in the box shell and connected with the box shell. The box inner container can be recessed inward to form a refrigeration compartment. The box shell and the box inner container can be filled with a thermal insulation layer, which can thermally insulate the refrigeration compartment, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100.
[0095] The cabinet 110 adopts a hollow structure of a cuboid. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the cabinet 110 can also adopt a hollow shell structure of other shapes.
[0096] In some embodiments, a refrigeration assembly (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the cabinet 110, and the refrigeration assembly is used to provide refrigeration for the inside of the refrigerator 100 to maintain a low-temperature environment in each refrigeration compartment.
[0097] The refrigeration assembly includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a throttling device, and the like. The specific structure and connection relationship of the refrigeration assembly can refer to the refrigeration assembly in related technologies, and will not be described here. The evaporator provides different cold quantities to various types of storage spaces, so that the temperatures in the various types of storage spaces are also different. For example, the temperature in the refrigeration compartment is generally between 2°C and 10°C, preferably between 4°C and 7°C. The temperature range in the freezer compartment is generally between -22°C and -14°C. The optimal storage temperature of different types of goods is not the same, and thus the suitable storage space is also not the same. For example, vegetable food is suitable for storage in the refrigeration compartment or the fresh-keeping space, and meat food is suitable for storage in the freezer compartment.
[0098] [Door body 130]
[0099] It should be noted that the door body 130 can be connected with the cabinet 110 to open or close the refrigeration compartment.
[0100] The door body 130 is arranged on the front surface of the cabinet 110 to close the refrigeration compartment. The door body 130 is configured to open and close the refrigeration compartment, that is, the door body 130 can open and close the front side opening 13221 of the cabinet 110. The door body 130 can be arranged corresponding to the refrigeration compartment, that is, each refrigeration compartment corresponds to one or more door bodies 130. The number of refrigeration compartments and door bodies 130 and the function of the refrigeration compartment can be selected according to the actual situation. One door body 130 can be arranged corresponding to the same refrigeration compartment. Alternatively, two door bodies 130 can be arranged corresponding to the same refrigeration compartment.
[0101] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, the door body 130 can be rotatably connected with the cabinet 110 around the height direction Z of the cabinet 110. The door body 130 can be pulled or pushed to rotate relative to the cabinet 110 to open or close the refrigeration compartment.
[0102] In some embodiments, the door body 130 is a rotating door body 130 structure. The door body 130 is rotatably arranged on the front side of the cabinet 110, and at this time, the door body 130 can be used as a common door structure, such as a refrigeration door, a freezing door, and the like.
[0103] Specifically, the door body 130 and the cabinet 110 can be connected through a rotating piece 120, where the rotating piece 120 can be a hinge.
[0104] Specifically, the door body 130 and the cabinet 110 can be connected through a hinge, so that the door body 130 of the refrigerator 100 can rotate around the axis of the hinge, realize the opening and closing of the door body 130 of the refrigerator 100, and further open and close the corresponding refrigeration compartment.
[0105] In some embodiments, the door body 130 includes a vertical beam 131 located on the side of the door body 130 away from the rotating member 120, that is, the vertical beam 131 and the rotating member 120 are respectively located on opposite sides of the door body 130. The vertical beam 131 enables the door body 130 to seal the gap between the door body 130 and the cabinet 110 after being closed, thereby improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator 100.
[0106] In addition, the refrigerator 100 in the present application is taken as a French door refrigerator 100 for example, and specifically, the refrigerator 100 has two door bodies 130 arranged side by side along the width direction of the refrigerator 100, and the opposite sides are hinged to the cabinet 110. One of the two door bodies 130 is provided with a vertical beam.
[0107] In some embodiments, the door body 130 includes a flange 132 located on the side edge of the door body 130 and away from the rotating member 120. The vertical beam 131 is installed on the flange 132 through a hook assembly 140, and then installed on the door body 130.
[0108] [Hook assembly 140]
[0109] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 7 In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 can further include a hook assembly 140. The purpose of the hook assembly 140 is to stably install the vertical beam 131 on the door body 130, and also needs to meet the requirement that the vertical beam 131 can rotate during the opening and closing of the door body 130.
[0110] Specifically, the hook assembly 140 includes a first clamping member 141 for movably connecting with the vertical beam 131 to ensure that the vertical beam 131 is rotatably arranged.
[0111] The hook assembly 140 further includes a second clamping member 142. The first end of the second clamping member 142 is connected with the first clamping member 141. The second end of the second clamping member 142 has a hook portion 1423 which is buckled with the flange 132, so that the second clamping member 142 and the flange 132 are connected, and the second clamping member 142 can be prevented from shaking.
[0112] In some embodiments, the first clamping member 141 has a fixed connection end and a movable connection end, wherein the fixed connection end is fixedly connected with the second clamping hook member, and the fixed connection here can include screw connection or detachable connection such as buckle; the movable connection end is movably connected with the vertical beam 131, or rotatably connected, to meet the rotation of the vertical beam 131 around the door body 130.

[0114] As shown in some embodiments, the second clamping member 142 also has: Figures 7 to 11 A first clamping hook body 1421 connected with the first clamping member 141;
[0115] A limiting portion 1424 clamped on the flange 132, and the limiting portion 1424 and the clamping hook portion 1423 are spaced apart from each other along a first direction on the first clamping hook body 1421.
[0116] Wherein, the first direction is a direction from the top side of the cabinet 110 to the bottom side of the cabinet 110.
[0117] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by arranging the limiting portion 1424 and the clamping hook portion 1423 at different positions, a more stable connection is formed between the vertical beam 131 and the flange 132. The limiting portion 1424 and the clamping hook portion 1423 are spaced apart from each other along the first direction on the first clamping hook body 1421, providing multi-point limiting and ensuring the position accuracy of the vertical beam 131 during installation, preventing displacement or shaking in any direction.
[0118] It should be noted that due to the synergistic effect of the limiting portion 1424 and the clamping hook portion 1423, the installation process is more convenient, without the need for additional adjustment or fixing measures, thereby simplifying the installation steps.
[0119] It should be noted that the first direction Z is also the height direction of the cabinet 110.
[0120]
[0121] In some embodiments, the limiting part 1424 and the hook part 1423 are integrally formed on the first hook body 1421, which can ensure that the limiting part 1424, the hook part 1423 and the first hook body 1421 are integrally formed and manufactured and are inseparable from each other. On the one hand, it can reduce the number of parts used, reduce the assembly difficulty and assembly accuracy requirements, and on the other hand, it can improve the overall rigidity of the second hook member 142.
[0122] In some embodiments, there are two limiting portions 1424 and two hook portions 1423. That is, there are two limiting portions 1424 and two hook portions 1423. The two limiting portions 1424 are located in the middle of the first hook body 1421 and are spaced apart. The two hook portions 1423 are located on the sides of the first hook body 1421.
[0123] In other embodiments, the number of limiting portions 1424 and hook portions 1423 may be limited according to actual conditions.

[0125] like Figures 6 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the flange 132 has an opening 13221 that extends through the opposite side walls of the flange 132, and at least a portion of the hook portion 1423 passes through the opening 13221 and is engaged with the flange 132.
[0126] The flange 132 also has a slot 13222, the opening of the slot 13222 extends to the edge of the flange 132, and the limiting part 1424 extends into the slot 13222.
[0127] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: Through the cooperation of the opening 13221 and the slot 13222, the installation process of the hook part 1423 and the limiting part 1424 becomes more intuitive and convenient. Installers can quickly position the hook part 1423 and the limiting part 1424 in place, reducing installation time and complexity. Furthermore, due to the double fixing of the hook part 1423 and the limiting part 1424, the installation of the vertical beam 131 remains stable, reducing the risk of component loosening or displacement.
[0128] Specifically, such as Figure 12 As shown, the hook portion 1423 and the opening 13221 cooperate to limit and fix the second locking member 142 in the second direction X, wherein the second direction X is the length direction of the door body 130 and also the length direction of the box body 110.
[0129] In addition, such asFigure 13 As shown, the limiting part 1424 and the slot 13222 cooperate to limit and fix the second card member 142 in the third direction Y, where the third direction Y is the width direction of the door body 130.
[0130] The opening 13221 allows at least a portion of the hook portion 1423 to pass through and engage with the flange 132, thereby forming a more robust mechanical connection. This design ensures a tight fit between the hook portion 1423 and the flange 132, enhancing the stability of the overall structure. Furthermore, the design of the slot 13222 allows the limiting portion 1424 to extend precisely into it, providing additional limiting support.
[0131] like Figures 5 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the door 130 includes a frame 133 having a receiving cavity.
[0132] like Figure 5 As shown, the door body 130 includes an inner liner 134, which is housed in the receiving cavity.
[0133] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the door body 130 also includes a door panel 135, which is disposed on the frame 133 and located on the side of the frame 133 opposite to the inner liner layer 134.
[0134] Among them, the flange 132 is a bent edge of the frame 133 that extends toward the receiving cavity from the side away from the rotating member 120.
[0135] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the frame 133 provides a solid foundation, and its cavity is used to house the inner liner 134, ensuring the heat preservation performance of the refrigerator 100; the flange 132, as a bending edge extending from the side of the frame 133, further enhances the structural integrity of the frame 133; the door panel 135 is located on the outside of the frame 133, providing a flat and beautiful appearance, while protecting the inner liner 134 and the structure of the frame 133.
[0136] In some embodiments, the door panel 135 may be designed and decorated as needed to enhance the overall visual appeal of the refrigerator 100.
[0137] In addition, the flange 132, as an extension of the side of the frame 133, is designed to face the receiving cavity, which helps to improve the sealing performance of the door 130, reduce cold air leakage, and improve the energy efficiency of the refrigerator 100.
[0138] The vertical beam 131 is located at the flange 132, the first clamping member 141 is movably connected with the vertical beam 131, one end of the second clamping member 142 is fixedly connected with the first clamping member 141, and the other end of the second clamping member 142 is buckled with the flange 132. The purpose of such arrangement is to directly limit and fix the second clamping member 142 in the second direction X through the limiting portion 1424, and to limit and fix the second clamping member 142 in the third direction Y through the hook portion 1423, so as to ensure the position stability of the vertical beam 131 after installation, and avoid the shaking and tilting of the vertical beam 131.
[0139] In addition, since the flange 132 is close to the vertical beam 131, the material use of the second clamping member 142 can be reduced, and the occupied volume of the second clamping member 142 can be reduced.
[0140] It should be noted that the frame 133 is a rectangular box structure, the inside of the frame 133 is hollow, and the inside space of the frame 133 forms a door cavity (not marked in the figure). The door cavity is mainly used to fill foaming material to form the inner liner layer 134 to realize the heat preservation and insulation function of the door body 130.
[0141] In some embodiments, the second clamping member 142 has a spacing with the door panel 135.
[0142] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the spacing effectively reduces the direct contact between the second clamping member 142 and the door panel 135, thereby reducing the thermal bridge effect. This helps to improve the heat preservation performance of the refrigerator 100, reduce energy loss, and improve the overall energy efficiency.
[0143] The second clamping member 142 is suspendedly arranged on the door body 130, and does not need to be directly in contact with the door panel 135, which can save materials and improve installation stability.
[0144] In addition, this design allows other functional materials or components, such as insulating materials or decorative panels, to be added between the door panel 135 and the clamping member, further improving the functionality and aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.
[0145] As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the flange 132 includes a first side edge 1321 extending towards the accommodating cavity, the first side edge 1321 is connected with the frame 133, and the vertical beam 131 is located on a side of the first side edge 1321 away from the door panel 135.
[0146] The flange 132 further includes a second side edge 1322 connected to the first side edge 1321, the second side edge 1322 extends towards the door panel 135, and the hook portion 1423 and the limiting portion 1424 are both clamped on the second side edge 1322.
[0147] The first side edge 1321 and the second side edge 1322 form an included angle.
[0148] The first side edge 1321 and the second side edge 1322 form an included angle.
[0149] The clamping hook portion 1423 and the limiting portion 1424 are clamped on the second side edge 1322, which ensures the close connection between the second clamping member 142 and the flange 132, enhances the fixing effect of the vertical beam 131, and prevents displacement or loosening during use.
[0150] The design of the second side edge 1322 provides a clear installation reference surface, making the installation of the clamping hook portion 1423 and the limiting portion 1424 more accurate, reducing installation errors, and improving overall assembly quality.
[0151] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first side edge 1321 and the second side edge 1322 is 90°, and of course it can be adjusted according to specific design requirements, providing greater design flexibility to adapt to different product specifications and functional requirements.
[0152] In some embodiments, the flange 132 and the side edge of the frame 133 form a groove, and part of the first clamping hook body 1421 extends into the groove to make the first clamping hook body 1421 adhere to the side edge of the frame 133.
[0153] The first clamping hook body 1421 extends into the groove and adheres to the side edge of the frame 133, providing a stable fixing point. This design ensures the close connection between the second clamping member 142 and the door body 130, enhancing the stability of the overall structure.
[0154] In addition, the groove provides additional support for the first clamping hook body 1421, enhancing its torsional performance and reducing the risk of deformation or loosening due to external forces. Since the first clamping hook body 1421 adheres to the side edge of the frame 133, the groove structure helps to improve the sealing effect, reduce cold air leakage, and improve the energy efficiency of the refrigerator 100.
[0155] In some embodiments, the installation steps of the first clamping hook body 1421 are as follows: first, extend the first clamping hook body 1421 into the groove, at this time the limiting portion 1424 can extend into the clamping groove 13222, then move the first clamping hook body 1421 in the direction of the accommodating cavity, so that the clamping hook portion 1423 extends into the opening 13221 to be clamped on the second side edge 1322.
[0156] In some embodiments, the second clamping member 142 further has a second clamping hook body 1422 located in the accommodating cavity and extending in a direction away from the flange 132, the second clamping hook body 1422 being connected between the first clamping hook body 1421 and the first clamping member 141.
[0157] The second clamping hook body 1422 and the first clamping hook body 1421 are integrally formed.
[0158] The second clamping hook body 1422 provides additional support, making the entire clamping member more stable after installation. Its extension direction helps provide stronger support in the vertical direction, preventing displacement or loosening of the assembly during use.
[0159] By placing the first clamping hook body and the second clamping hook body 1422 in the accommodating cavity, the design effectively utilizes the internal space without affecting the external aesthetics and overall structure of the refrigerator 100. This layout provides better functionality without increasing the external size of the clamping member.
[0160] In addition, due to the support of the second clamping hook body 1422, the entire clamping member can better maintain stability when subjected to external forces or vibrations, reducing the risk of assembly loosening or displacement and improving the shock resistance of the refrigerator 100.
[0161] It should be noted that by setting the second clamping hook body 1422 and the first clamping hook body 1421 as integrally formed, not only can the connection strength between the second clamping hook body 1422 and the first clamping hook body 1421 be improved, but also seamless connection of the second clamping hook body 1422 and the first clamping hook body 1421 can be achieved, thereby reducing the risk of cracking at the connection position of the second clamping hook body 1422 and the first clamping hook body 1421.
[0162] In some embodiments, the second clamping hook body 1422 is a frame 133 piece, and the second clamping hook body 1422 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 1425.
[0163] The frame 133 piece design combined with the use of reinforcing ribs 1425 allows the second clamping hook body 1422 to maintain strength while minimizing weight. This has a positive effect on the lightweight design of the overall product, which may help reduce transportation and installation costs.
[0164] That is, the arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 1425 further enhances the strength and rigidity of the second hook body 1422. This design can effectively resist external forces and pressures, preventing deformation. The presence of the reinforcing ribs 1425 allows the second hook body 1422 to maintain stability over long-term use, reducing damage due to fatigue or stress concentration, thereby improving overall durability.
[0165] The combined design of the frame 133 and the reinforcing ribs 1425 provides greater flexibility, allowing the position and number of reinforcing ribs 1425 to be adjusted according to specific design requirements to accommodate different load conditions and structural requirements.
[0166] In some embodiments, there are multiple reinforcing ribs 1425, which are arranged at intervals on the second hook body 1422.
[0167] As shown in Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the hook assembly 140 further includes a fastener 143, and the second clamping member 142 is connected to the first clamping member 141 through the fastener 143.
[0168] The technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the fastener 143 provides reliable mechanical connection, making the connection between the second clamping member 142 and the first clamping member 141 more secure. The design of the fastener 143 makes it easier to disassemble and replace components. When maintenance or replacement is needed, the fastener 143 can be quickly loosened and refixed, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0169] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, considering the cost of the fastener 143, the fastener 143 can be a threaded fastener 143, and a first connecting hole is provided on the first clamping member 141, which can be a threaded hole. The fastener 143 can pass through the first connecting hole and be tightened or loosened to adjust the fixed and disassembled state.
[0170] In addition, a second connecting hole is provided on the second clamping member 142, which can also be a threaded hole. The fastener 143 can pass through the first connecting hole and be tightened or loosened to adjust the fixed and disassembled state.
[0171] Specifically, the fastener 143 passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole in turn and is tightened, thereby fixing the first clamping member 141 to the second clamping member 142. Of course, when the first clamping member 141 needs to be removed, the fastener 143 only needs to be loosened, and then the fastener 143 is taken out from the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole in turn.
[0172] The refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the application comprises a cabinet body, a rotating part, and a door body. The door body is movably connected to the cabinet body through the rotating part and is configured to open and close the refrigeration chamber. The door body comprises a vertical beam located on a side of the door body away from the rotating part, a turned edge located on a side edge of the door body, and a hook assembly arranged between the vertical beam and the turned edge. The hook assembly comprises a first clamping member movably connected to the vertical beam and a second clamping member connected to the first clamping member. The second clamping member has a hook part which is clamped on the turned edge to connect the second clamping member and the turned edge.
[0173] Through the arrangement of the hook assembly, the shaking of the vertical beam caused by machining errors is solved, and the tilting problem of the vertical beam after foaming is solved. Specifically, through the movable connection of the first clamping member and the vertical beam and the fixed connection of the hook part of the second clamping member and the turned edge, the position of the vertical beam after installation is stable, and the shaking and tilting of the vertical beam are avoided. The vertical beam can be sealed by foam without additional foam sealing after the installation of the liner, the use of foam sealing material is saved, the installation process is simplified, and the manual operation is reduced, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.
