Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, such as a lower hinge for a refrigerator and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, refrigerators are household appliances that maintain a constant low temperature, primarily used for refrigerating and freezing food, medicine, and other items. They achieve this low-temperature environment through a refrigeration system. However, existing refrigerators typically have their bottom hinges fixed on the left or right side, making it difficult to meet users' diverse opening needs.

[0003] One related technology includes a refrigerator comprising a door, a cabinet, a lower left hinge, and a lower right hinge. The lower left or lower right hinge can be installed on either the left or right side of the door and cabinet. Depending on the user's needs, the left hinge can be assembled with the cabinet and door, or the right hinge can be assembled with the cabinet and door. This satisfies different user opening requirements and provides a better user experience.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0005] Providing either a lower left or lower right hinge would not only be relatively expensive, but also result in a waste of the remaining hinge.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0008] This disclosure provides a lower hinge for a refrigerator and a refrigerator, enabling the use of only one set of lower hinges to meet different user opening needs, with relatively low cost and reduced waste.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lower hinge for a refrigerator includes: a lower hinge plate, a reversing plate, and a hinge shaft. The lower hinge plate is installed at the bottom of the refrigerator body; the reversing plate is detachably connected to the front end of the lower hinge plate, and the reversing plate has a mounting hole and a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other; one end of the hinge shaft is rotatably connected to the door body, and the other end is inserted into the mounting hole; wherein the distance between the mounting hole and the first side is smaller than the distance between the mounting hole and the second side.

[0010] Optionally, the lower hinge plate is provided with a first threaded hole, and the reversing plate is provided with a through hole. The bolt passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole.

[0011] Optionally, when there are multiple first threaded holes, the distance between the through hole and the first side is greater than the distance between the through hole and the second side.

[0012] Optionally, the lower hinge plate is provided with multiple second threaded holes, and one end of the hinge shaft passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to one of the second threaded holes.

[0013] Optionally, a limiting ring is provided on the outer wall of the hinge shaft, and the limiting ring is located on the upper side of the reversing plate.

[0014] Optionally, a stop is provided on the commutator.

[0015] Optionally, the stop is a hook plate, which is fixedly connected to the second side of the reversing plate.

[0016] Optionally, a support foot is provided at the bottom of each lower hinge plate.

[0017] Optionally, a rotating wheel is provided at the bottom of each lower hinge plate.

[0018] In some embodiments, the refrigerator includes a lower hinge for the refrigerator as described in the above embodiments.

[0019] The lower hinge and refrigerator provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0020] When the user needs to open the refrigerator from the left, the lower hinge plate is installed on the right side of the bottom of the refrigerator body, with the first side of the reversing plate facing the right side of the refrigerator. The hinge shaft is inserted into the mounting hole. Because the distance between the mounting hole and the first side is smaller than the distance between the mounting hole and the second side, the hinge shaft is biased towards the right side of the door, allowing the door to rotate relative to the hinge shaft when opened from the left. When the user needs to open the refrigerator from the right, the lower hinge plate is removed from the right side of the refrigerator and installed on the left side. The reversing plate is then removed from the lower hinge plate, and the hinge shaft is pulled out from the reversing plate. The reversing plate is flipped over and reinstalled on the lower hinge plate, and the hinge shaft is re-inserted into the mounting hole so that the first side of the reversing plate and the hinge shaft both face the left side of the refrigerator, thus adapting to opening from the right. This design allows for meeting different user opening needs with only one set of lower hinges, while also being relatively low-cost and reducing waste.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0041] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator, including: a lower hinge plate 100, a reversing plate 200, and a hinge shaft 300. The lower hinge plate 100 is installed at the bottom of the refrigerator body; the reversing plate 200 is detachably connected to the front end of the lower hinge plate 100, and the reversing plate 200 is provided with a mounting hole 210 and a first side 201 and a second side 202 disposed opposite to each other; one end of the hinge shaft 300 is rotatably connected to the door body, and the other end is inserted into the mounting hole 210; wherein, the distance between the mounting hole 210 and the first side 201 is smaller than the distance between the mounting hole 210 and the second side 202.

[0042] The refrigerator provided in this embodiment allows for opening from the left side of the refrigerator when the user needs to open the door. The lower hinge plate 100 is installed on the right side of the bottom of the refrigerator body, and the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 faces the right side of the refrigerator. The hinge shaft 300 is inserted into the mounting hole 210. Because the distance between the mounting hole 210 and the first side 201 is less than the distance between the mounting hole 210 and the second side 202, the hinge shaft 300 is biased towards the right side of the door body, allowing the door to rotate relative to the hinge shaft 300 when opened from the left. When the user needs to open from the right side, the lower hinge plate 100 is removed from the right side of the refrigerator and installed on the left side. The reversing plate 200 is then removed from the lower hinge plate 100, and the hinge shaft 300 is pulled out from the reversing plate 200. After flipping the reversing plate 200 over, it is reinstalled on the lower hinge plate 100, and the hinge shaft 300 is re-inserted into the mounting hole 210, so that the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 and the hinge shaft 300 both face the left side of the refrigerator, thus adapting to opening from the right side. This achieves the goal of providing only one set of lower hinges to meet different user opening needs, and the cost is relatively low, reducing waste.

[0043] Understandably, the refrigerator door has a shaft hole or bushing that mates with the hinge shaft 300 to increase the contact area.

[0044] Combination Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the lower hinge plate 100 is provided with multiple mounting holes 110. Screws pass through the mounting holes 110 and connect to the refrigerator body to fix the lower hinge plate 100 to the refrigerator body. In this way, each mounting hole 110 is pierced by a screw, which connects to the body, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the lower hinge plate 100. Installation and disassembly are relatively simple, and there are relatively many connection points, resulting in relatively high connection strength.

[0045] Optionally, the end of the lower hinge plate 100 where the reversing plate 200 is installed gradually narrows. In this way, the narrower end of the lower hinge plate 100 faces the door, reducing the space occupied on the front side of the refrigerator, reducing the risk of the lower hinge plate 100 being exposed, and improving the overall integrity of the refrigerator.

[0046] Optionally, bending plates 120 are provided on both opposite sides of the lower hinge plate 100, and the bending plates 120 are fixedly connected to the lower hinge plate 100. In this way, the connection between the bending plates 120 and the lower hinge plate 100 improves the structural strength of the lower hinge plate 100 and reduces the risk of bending deformation of the lower hinge plate 100.

[0047] Specifically, the plane where the lower hinge plate 100 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the bending plate 120 is located.

[0048] Optionally, the lower hinge plate 100 and / or the reversing plate 200 are both made of cast iron. In this way, the lower hinge plate 100 and / or the reversing plate 200 made of cast iron have relatively high strength.

[0049] Understandably, the lower hinge plate 100 and / or the reversing plate 200 may also be made of stainless steel or other high-strength materials.

[0050] Optionally, the lower hinge plate 100 is provided with a first threaded hole 130, and the reversing plate 200 is provided with a through hole 220. Bolts pass through the through hole 220 and are threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 130. In this way, it is more convenient to install and remove the reversing plate 200 from the lower hinge plate 100 by connecting the bolt through the through hole 220 to the first threaded hole 130, and the connection stability is relatively high.

[0051] In one embodiment, a first threaded hole 130 is provided, and the distance between the first threaded hole 130 and the left side of the lower hinge plate 100 is equal to the distance between the first threaded hole 130 and the right side of the lower hinge plate 100. Thus, the first threaded hole 130 is located in the middle of the lower hinge plate 100. During the flipping and reversing process of the reversing plate 200, the through hole 220 corresponds to the position of the first threaded hole 130, which can reduce the number of first threaded holes 130 required and lower costs.

[0052] In another embodiment, multiple first threaded holes 130 are provided. With multiple first threaded holes 130, the through hole 220 of the reversing plate 200 is also adapted to one of them for installation, allowing adjustment of the position of the reversing plate 200 relative to the lower hinge plate 100, thereby adjusting the relative position of the door and the housing.

[0053] Specifically, multiple through holes 220 are provided, and each through hole 220 is corresponding to a first threaded hole 130.

[0054] Optionally, when multiple first threaded holes 130 are provided, the distance between the through hole 220 and the first side 201 is greater than the distance between the through hole 220 and the second side 202. In this way, the through hole 220 and the second side 202 are relatively close, the distance between the mounting hole 210 and the second side 202 is relatively far, the interval between the mounting hole 210 and the through hole 220 is relatively far, and the risk of interference between the hinge shaft 300 and the bolt is relatively low.

[0055] Understandably, when there are multiple first threaded holes 130, there are also multiple through holes 220, and each through hole 220 corresponds to one first threaded hole 130 and is connected by multiple bolts. The distance between the mounting hole 210 and the second side 202 is relatively far to allow for the setting of multiple through holes 220, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the hinge shaft 300 and the bolts.

[0056] Optionally, the lower hinge plate 100 is provided with multiple second threaded holes 140, and one end of the hinge shaft 300 passes through the mounting hole 210 and is threadedly connected to one of the second threaded holes 140. In this way, the hinge shaft 300 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 140, which provides relatively high stability and reduces the risk of displacement of the reversing plate 200 relative to the lower hinge plate 100, as well as the risk of deviation during door rotation.

[0057] Specifically, each lower hinge plate 100 is provided with two second threaded holes 140. One second threaded hole 140 is positioned relatively close to the left side of the lower hinge plate 100, and the other second threaded hole 140 is positioned relatively close to the right side of the lower hinge plate 100. Thus, when the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 faces the right side of the refrigerator, the hinge shaft 300 is relatively close to the right side of the refrigerator, and the hinge shaft 300 connects to the second threaded hole 140 near the right side of the lower hinge plate 100. When the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 faces the left side of the refrigerator, the hinge shaft 300 is relatively close to the left side of the refrigerator, and the hinge shaft 300 connects to the second threaded hole 140 near the left side of the lower hinge plate 100. This results in a better fit.

[0058] Combination Figure 5 As shown, optionally, each second threaded hole 140 is provided with a threaded sleeve 141 at the lower edge of the hole. The threaded sleeve 141 is fixedly connected to the lower hinge plate 100, and the threaded sleeve 141 is threadedly connected to the hinge shaft 300. In this way, the threaded sleeve 141 and the second threaded hole 140 are simultaneously threadedly connected to the hinge shaft 300, the connection area is relatively large, and the connection stability is relatively high.

[0059] Specifically, two first threaded holes 130 are provided. One first threaded hole 130 is relatively close to the left side of the lower hinge plate 100, and the other first threaded hole 130 is relatively close to the right side of the lower hinge plate 100. Thus, when the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 faces the right side of the refrigerator, the hinge shaft 300 is relatively close to the right side of the refrigerator, and the bolt can pass through the through hole 220 to connect to the first threaded hole 130 located further away from the right side of the refrigerator. When the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 faces the left side of the refrigerator, the hinge shaft 300 is relatively close to the left side of the refrigerator, and the bolt can pass through the through hole 220 to connect to the first threaded hole 130 located further away from the left side of the refrigerator. The hinge shaft 300 and the bolt are simultaneously connected to the lower hinge plate 100. The relatively large distance between the bolt and the hinge shaft 300 results in a relatively large connection span, leading to relatively high stability and reducing the risk of displacement of the reversing plate 200 relative to the lower hinge plate 100.

[0060] Optionally, a limiting ring 310 is provided on the outer wall of the hinge shaft 300, and the limiting ring 310 is located on the upper side of the reversing plate 200. In this way, when the hinge shaft 300 is inserted into the mounting hole 210, the limiting ring 310 can abut against the upper side of the reversing plate 200, reducing the risk of the hinge shaft 300 disengaging from the mounting hole 210. Furthermore, the contact area between the limiting ring 310 and the reversing plate 200 is relatively large, allowing it to withstand a relatively large weight.

[0061] Optionally, the distance between the limiting ring 310 and the top end of the hinge shaft 300 is greater than the distance between the limiting ring 310 and the bottom end of the hinge shaft 300. Thus, since the top of the hinge shaft 300 needs to be rotatably connected to the door body, the length of the hinge shaft 300 located above the limiting ring 310 is relatively long, resulting in a longer connection length with the door body and relatively higher connection stability.

[0062] Optionally, the reversing plate 200 is provided with a stop 150. This stop 150 can cooperate with a stop assembly on the door, reducing the risk of the door opening on its own when it is closed on the housing. Furthermore, the stop 150 can be adjusted along with the reversing plate 200 to accommodate whether the door opens from the left or right, making adjustment relatively simple and providing a better user experience.

[0063] Optionally, the stop 150 is a hook plate 151, which is fixedly connected to the second side 202 of the reversing plate 200. In this way, the hook plate 151 can hook onto the stop assembly on the door, reducing the risk of the door opening on its own when it is closed on the refrigerator body. Furthermore, the hook plate 151 can be adjusted along with the reversing plate 200 to accommodate whether the door opens from the left or right, making adjustment relatively simple and providing a better user experience. Since the second side 202 faces the door body, the distance to engage with the stop assembly on the door body is relatively short, resulting in a better engagement, reducing the risk of the hook plate 151 being exposed, and improving the overall integrity of the refrigerator.

[0064] Understandably, the stop components on the door are a well-known technology.

[0065] Alternatively, the hook plate 151 protrudes from one side of the lower hinge plate 100. In this case, when the hook plate 151 is retracted into one side of the lower hinge plate 100, the risk of interference between the lower hinge plate 100 and the stop assembly on the door body is relatively high, and the stop effect is relatively poor.

[0066] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, optionally, each of the lower hinge plates 100 has a support leg 160 at its bottom. This allows the support leg 160 to rest on the ground, providing support for both the lower hinge plate 100 and the refrigerator. Furthermore, the support leg 160 is directly connected to the lower hinge plate 100, eliminating the need for additional connection points on the refrigerator body, thus reducing design and manufacturing complexity.

[0067] Optionally, the support leg 160 is detachably connected to the lower hinge plate 100. This makes it easier to install the support leg 160 on the lower hinge plate 100 or to remove the support leg 160 from the lower hinge plate 100, facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the support leg 160 or the lower hinge plate 100.

[0068] Optionally, the lower hinge plate 100 is provided with a third threaded hole 170, and the support leg 160 is threadedly connected to the third threaded hole 170. In this way, the support leg 160 engages with the third threaded hole 170, allowing the support leg 160 to be quickly installed on or removed from the lower hinge plate 100, facilitating replacement or maintenance of the support leg 160 or the lower hinge plate 100. Furthermore, rotating the support leg 160 allows adjustment of the relative height between the support leg 160 and the lower hinge plate 100, enabling the refrigerator to be adjusted to a more vertical position.

[0069] Optionally, the support leg is provided through the third threaded hole 170, and the top of the support leg 160 is provided with a fixing cover 161, which is threadedly connected to the top of the support leg 160. In this way, the fixing cover 161 is located at the top of the support leg, which prevents the support leg from directly contacting the refrigerator body and reduces the risk of the support leg 160 causing damage to the refrigerator body.

[0070] Optionally, the lower hinge plate 100 has a recess 180, and a third threaded hole 170 is disposed on the recess 180. In this way, the support leg 160 connects to the third threaded hole 170, and the third threaded hole 170 is located in the recess 180, making the connection position of the support leg 160 relatively low, leaving a gap between the recess 180 and the housing. This gap allows for adjustment of the distance between the support leg 160 and the lower hinge plate 100.

[0071] Specifically, the diameter of the fixed cover 161 is smaller than the diameter of the recess 180.

[0072] Optionally, the reversing plate 200 is provided with a clearance groove 230. When the reversing plate 200 is mounted on the lower hinge plate 100, the clearance groove 230 corresponds to the position of the lower recess 180. In this way, since the support leg 160 passes through the third threaded hole 170, the support leg 160 rotates and adjusts its distance from the lower hinge plate 100, shortening the distance between the support leg 160 and the lower hinge plate 100. This reduces the distance between the support leg 160 and the reversing plate 200, and the clearance groove 230 can reduce the risk of contact interference between the reversing plate 200 and the support leg 160.

[0073] Optionally, a washer 181 is provided below the recess 180. In this way, when the support leg 160 rotates and adjusts its distance from the lower hinge plate 100, the distance between the support leg 160 and the lower hinge plate 100 is shortened, and the washer 181 is located below the recess 180, which can provide cushioning between the recess 180 and the support leg 160.

[0074] Combination Figure 8 As shown, optionally, a rotating wheel 190 is provided at the bottom of each lower hinge plate 100. In this way, the rotating wheel 190 facilitates the movement of the refrigerator and the adjustment of its placement, resulting in a better user experience.

[0075] Specifically, the two ends of the rotating wheel 190 are rotatably connected to a bending plate 120.

[0076] In some embodiments, the refrigerator includes a lower hinge for the refrigerator as described in the above embodiments.

[0077] The refrigerator provided in this embodiment includes a lower hinge as described in the above embodiment. When the user needs to open the refrigerator from the left side, the lower hinge plate 100 is installed on the right side of the bottom of the refrigerator body, and the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 faces the right side of the refrigerator. The hinge shaft 300 is inserted into the mounting hole 210. Since the distance between the mounting hole 210 and the first side 201 is less than the distance between the mounting hole 210 and the second side 202, the hinge shaft 300 is biased towards the right side of the door body, allowing the door to rotate relative to the hinge shaft 300 when opened from the left. When the user needs to open the door from the right side, the lower hinge plate 100 is removed from the right side of the refrigerator and installed on the left side, and the reversing plate 200 is removed from the lower hinge plate 100, and the hinge shaft 300 is pulled out from the reversing plate 200. After flipping the reversing plate 200 over, it is reinstalled on the lower hinge plate 100, and the hinge shaft 300 is re-inserted into the mounting hole 210, so that the first side 201 of the reversing plate 200 and the hinge shaft 300 both face the left side of the refrigerator, thus adapting to opening from the right side. This achieves the goal of providing only one set of lower hinges to meet different user opening needs, and the cost is relatively low, reducing waste.
