Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, specifically a refrigerator door through-hing assembly and a refrigerator using the refrigerator door through-hing assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Current refrigerator doors with control, display, and lighting components typically have their power supply wires routed through a groove in the hinge assembly before connecting to the power wires of the door's electrical components via terminals. For example, a hinge assembly disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 2018218987810 uses a first through-hole, a wire-holding groove, and a second through-hole on the hinge to route the power wires. The drawback of this wiring structure is that the first through-hole is coaxial with the hinge shaft. This limits the diameter of the first through-hole, requiring the power wires on the refrigerator door to pass through it before being crimped to the terminals. This results in cumbersome internal power wiring assembly and ultimately low refrigerator production efficiency. Therefore, an improvement is necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a refrigerator door through-hing assembly and a refrigerator using the refrigerator door through-hing assembly, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
