[0028] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.

[0029] See attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, a refrigerator with interchangeable left and right doors includes a cabinet body 1, a door frame assembly 2, an automatic return assembly, a switching assembly 4, and a convenient moving assembly 6. The cabinet body 1 is equipped with a cooling system, and an opening is provided on one side of the cabinet body 1.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, the door frame assembly 2 includes a frame 21 and a sealing assembly disposed between the frame 21 and the cabinet 1. The sealing assembly includes a sealing strip 7 disposed along the outer perimeter of the opening. The sealing strip 7 can maintain the sealing and prolong the preservation effect. Its structure consists of a soft polyvinyl chloride jacket and a magnetic strip. The soft polyvinyl chloride jacket is formed by extrusion process, and the magnetic strip is made by mixing magnetic material and plasticizer and then magnetizing it. It achieves sealing by adsorbing onto the outer side of the opening of the cabinet 1.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the automatic return component is disposed inside the vertical side of one side of the frame 21. The automatic return component includes a first torsion spring 31 and a second torsion spring 32, which are steel components respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the cabinet 1, and a limiting component 34 respectively disposed on the first torsion spring 31 and the second torsion spring 32. The ends of the first torsion spring 31 and the second torsion spring 32 away from the upper and lower sides of the cabinet 1 are respectively provided with hook portions 33, so that the hook portions 33 at one end of the first torsion spring 31 and the second torsion spring 32 are hooked together. Therefore, after the frame 21 is opened, it does not need to be closed manually. The frame 21 can automatically spring back and close under the action of elastic potential energy.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting member 34 is respectively disposed between the connecting member 41 and the hook portion 33 on the first torsion spring member 31 and the second torsion spring member 32. The limiting member 34 is L-shaped, so that the two ends of the limiting member 34 can be inserted into the vertical side and the horizontal side of the frame 21 respectively. Therefore, when the frame 21 is opened, during the process of the frame 21 automatically rebounding and closing under the action of elastic potential energy, the deformation degree of the first torsion spring member 31 and the second torsion spring member 32 can be effectively controlled, thereby increasing the durability of the automatic return component.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the repositioning component 4 includes a connector 41 respectively provided at the end away from the hook portion 33 of the first torsion spring 31 and the second torsion spring 32, and a set of mounting positions respectively provided at the four corners of the opening to fix the frame 21 and the cabinet 1.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the frame 21 can be fixed to the cabinet 1 by the connecting piece 41 at the end of the first torsion spring 31 and the second torsion spring 32 away from the hook 33 and the mounting position at the upper right and lower right positions of the cabinet 1, so as to achieve the effect of the frame 21 opening from the left; when the frame 21 is fixed to the cabinet 1 by the connecting piece 41 at the end of the first torsion spring 31 and the second torsion spring 32 away from the hook 33 and the mounting position at the upper left and lower left positions of the cabinet 1, the door needs to be removed and inverted to achieve the effect of the frame 21 opening from the right.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting position includes three first mounting holes spaced apart. The bottom edge of each connector 41 is hinged to the corresponding first torsion spring 31 and second torsion spring 32. The side wall of each connector 41 is provided with three second mounting holes 411 corresponding to the first mounting holes. Thus, the connector 41 can be fixed to the cabinet 1 by passing screws through the second mounting holes 411 and the first mounting holes. After the frame 21 is opened, it does not need to be closed manually. The frame 21 can automatically spring back and close under the action of elastic potential energy.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, the top of the cabinet 1 extends outward to provide a protective cover 5 for inserting the side of the corresponding connector 41. There is an installation gap between the protective cover 5 and the frame 21 to accommodate the bottom edge of the connector 41. The protective cover 5 also covers the outside of the multiple spaced first mounting holes, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also effectively protects the connection between the cabinet 1 and the door frame assembly 2.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the convenient moving component 6 includes brackets 61 respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the cabinet 1 and rolling bodies 6 hinged to the brackets 61 at both ends, so that the placement position of the freezer can be quickly adjusted by the convenient moving component 6. The rolling body 62 is a cylinder or a sphere, preferably a cylinder, to increase the contact area between the rolling body 62 and the ground.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
