[0029] This utility model provides a refrigerator 100, in which the door 30 is moved away from the cabinet 10 by the moving component 20 when it is opened, so that the rotation axis of the door 30 is moved away from the cabinet 10 by a certain distance, so as to prevent the door 30 from interfering with the cabinet 10, hinges and other structures when rotating, thereby allowing the door 30 to open to a greater degree.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 The refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 10, a moving component 20, and a door 30. The moving component 20 includes a fixed base 21, a moving unit 22, and a driving component 23. The fixed base 21 is connected to the cabinet 10, the moving unit 22 is movably connected to the fixed base 21, and the driving component 23 abuts against the moving unit 22 and can drive the moving unit 22 to move away from the cabinet 10. The door 30 is rotatably connected to the end of the moving unit 22 away from the cabinet 10.

[0031] Thus, the fixed base 21 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, so the relative position of the fixed base 21 remains unchanged. The drive assembly 23 abuts against the moving unit 22, providing the moving unit 22 with the driving force to move. The moving unit 22 is movably connected to the fixed base 21, so it can move along the fixed base 21, thereby moving away from the housing 10. Since the door 30 is rotatably connected to the moving unit 22, when the moving unit 22 moves away from the housing 10, it can drive the door 30 to move away from the housing 10. At the same time, the pivot 223 is also further away from the housing 10. Therefore, when the door 30 rotates, it can reduce interference with the housing 10 and other structures such as hinges, allowing the door 30 to open wider, even fully.

[0032] Specifically, limiting plates 24 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixed base 21 in the width direction. The two limiting plates 24 cooperate with the fixed base 21 to form a movable groove. The moving unit 22 is installed in the movable groove, and both sides of the moving unit 22 are movably connected to the two limiting plates 24 respectively. In this way, the two limiting plates 24 can restrict the lateral movement of the moving unit 22, thereby guiding the moving unit 22 to move along the length direction of the fixed base 21.

[0033] It should be explained that, in this embodiment, the horizontal direction refers to the width direction of the moving unit 22, the length direction of the fixed base 21 and the moving unit 22 are the same, the moving direction of the moving unit 22 is the length direction of the fixed base 21, and the width direction of the moving unit 22, which is the aforementioned horizontal direction, refers to the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the fixed base 21.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting plate 24 is formed by bending upwards on both sides of the fixing base 21 to improve material utilization and structural integrity. In other embodiments, the limiting plate 24 can also be additionally added and connected to the fixing base 21 by means of bonding or welding.

[0035] Furthermore, the limiting plate 24 is provided with a slide rail 241, and at least one rolling element 224 is provided on both sides of the moving unit 22. The rolling element 224 is connected to the fixed base 21 and can move along the slide rail 241. In this way, the inner wall of the slide rail 241 can limit the rolling element 224 and guide the rolling element 224 to move along the slide rail 241, making the movement of the moving unit 222 more stable.

[0036] The rolling element 224 is configured as a bubble structure or a ball structure to cooperate with the slide 241.

[0037] The moving unit 22 has mounting plates 225 on both sides, and the rolling element 224 is connected to the mounting plate 225 to facilitate the installation of the rolling element 224, provide installation space for the rolling element 224, and facilitate assembly and processing.

[0038] Multiple rolling elements 224 are provided and are evenly spaced along the length of the mounting plate 225. The multiple rolling elements 224 cooperate with the slide rail 241 for limiting movement, so as to further ensure the movement stability of the moving unit 22.

[0039] The moving unit 22 includes a movable base 226 and an abutment plate 221. The movable base 226 is slidably connected to the fixed base 21, and the abutment plate 221 is connected to the side of the movable base 226 facing away from the housing 10. The drive assembly 23 abuts against the abutment plate 221. Thus, the abutment plate 221 cooperates with the drive assembly 23 to transmit the thrust provided by the drive assembly 23 to the movable base 226 as an intermediate transmission structure, allowing the movable base 226 to move relative to the fixed base 21.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the abutment plate 221 is configured as an L-shape, with one side of its L-shaped structural wall connected to the movable seat 226, and the other side extending upward in a direction perpendicular to the movable seat 226, thereby facilitating connection with the drive assembly 23.

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the drive assembly 23 includes a motor 231 and a push rod 232. The motor 231 is connected to the push rod 232 and can drive the push rod 232 to reciprocate along its length. The push rod 232 abuts against the moving assembly 20. Specifically, according to the above arrangement, the push rod 232 is driven by the motor 231 to perform reciprocating motion of extending and retracting. One end of the push rod 232 is connected to the motor 231, and the other end abuts against the aforementioned abutment plate 221, thereby pushing the moving seat 226 to move.

[0042] Furthermore, the connecting seat 222 includes a connecting section 2221 and an extension section 2222. The connecting section 2221 is connected to the fixed seat 21, and the extension section 2222 is connected to the connecting section 2221. The side of the extension section 2222 away from the fixed seat 21 is arc-shaped. Thus, the arc-shaped side of the extension section 2222 allows it to bear more stress loads, resulting in higher structural strength of the connecting seat 222. In this embodiment, the length direction of the movable seat 226, the moving direction of the movable seat 226, and the length direction of the fixed seat 21 are all consistent, while the extension direction of the extension section 2222 is parallel to the width direction of the movable seat 226, forming an arc-shaped bending-resistant structure.

[0043] Two movable components 20 are configured, which are respectively connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the housing 10 and rotatably connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the door 30. In this way, the top and bottom sides of the door 30 are limited when it is opened, making the opening process of the door 30 more stable.

[0044] It should be explained that the refrigerator 100 is placed on a horizontal ground during use. Therefore, the top surface of the cabinet 10 refers to the upper side of the refrigerator 100 in the direction of gravity during normal use, and the bottom surface is the lower side in the direction of gravity.

[0045] Furthermore, the top and bottom surfaces of the door body 30 are provided with mating grooves 31. The moving component 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mating groove 31. The mating groove 31 provides space for the extension section 2222 to accommodate, reducing its interference with the structure of the door body 30, thereby ensuring that the door body 30 can be fully opened.

[0046] In addition, a cover 40 is provided on the top of the housing 10, which covers at least part of the moving component 20 to prevent it from being affected by the external environment.

[0047] A pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) is also installed on the housing 10. The pressure sensor is connected to a push switch, which is connected to the door 30. When the door 30 is pressed by the user, the pressure sensor can detect that the push switch has been pressed and transmit an electrical signal to the controller, which then executes the next operation. Another drive assembly 23 is also installed on the housing 10. In this embodiment, it is also configured as a motor 231 and push rod 232 assembly. The controller simultaneously controls the two drive assemblies 23 to extend. The two drive assemblies 23 are spaced apart, thereby pushing the entire door 30 outward. Furthermore, since the drive assembly 23 that abuts against the moving assembly 20 also needs to drive the moving assembly 20 to move, it needs to overcome more force. Therefore, the force exerted by the drive assembly 23 that abuts against the moving assembly 20 is greater than the driving force of the other drive assembly 23.

[0048] Preferably, in this embodiment, the door 30 has two panels, and each door 30 is provided with two drive components 23 to push the door 30 to open fully. When this refrigerator 100 is used as a zero-entry refrigerator, it can achieve a completely zero-entry effect without hindering the opening of the door 30. The opening angle of the door 30 is large, preferably set to 180° opening, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model, by setting up a drive component 23, a moving unit 22, and a fixed base 21, provides the moving unit 22 with a driving force to move. The moving unit 22 is movably connected to the fixed base 21 and moves along the fixed base 21 to move away from the housing 10. When the moving unit 22 moves away from the housing 10, it can drive the door 30 to move away from the housing 10. At the same time, the pivot 223 is also further away from the housing 10. Therefore, when the door 30 rotates, it can reduce interference with the housing 10 and other structures such as hinges, allowing the door 30 to open more fully.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
