Abstract
free embedded refrigerator, comprising a cabinet 10, a door 20 for opening and closing the cabinet 10, and a hinge assembly 30 for connecting the cabinet 10 and the door 20. The hinge assembly 30 comprises a first hinge part 31, a second hinge part 32 and a switching assembly 40 connected with the first hinge part 31 and the second hinge part 32. The switching assembly 40 comprises a first switching part 401 and a second switching part 402 which are fitted with each other. When the door 20 is in an opening process, the first hinge part 31 moves relative to the switching assembly 40 to drive the door 20 to rotate in situ relative to the cabinet 10, and then, the switching assembly 30 drives the second hinge part 32 to move relative to the switching assembly 40 to drive the door 20 to continuously rotate in situ. The first hinge part 31 is fixed to the cabinet 10, the second hinge part 32 is fixed to the door 20, and the switching assembly 40 comprises a first fitting part and a second fitting part. When the door 20 is opened from a closed state to a first opening angle, the first hinge part 31 and the first fitting part move relatively to drive 20 the door to rotate in situ relative to the cabinet 10, and the second fitting part limits the second hinge part 32. When the door 20 is continuously opened from the first opening angle to a second opening angle, the second hinge part 32 is released from the limit of the second fitting part, and the first fitting part limits the first hinge part 31. When the door 20 is continuously opened from the second opening angle to a maximum opening angle, the second hinge part 32 and the second fitting part move relatively to drive the door to continuously rotate in situ. The first hinge part 31 and the first fitting part move relatively by a first shaft set and a first groove set which are fitted with each other, and the second hinge part 32 and the second fitting part move relatively by a second shaft set and a second groove set which are fitted with each other. When the door is opened from the closed state to the first opening angle or continuously opened from the second opening angle to the maximum opening angle, the first switching part and the second switching part are relatively stationary, and when the door is continuously opened from the first opening angle to the second opening angle, the first switching part moves relative to the second switching part, such that the second hinge part is released from the limit of the second fitting part, and the first fitting part limits the first hinge part. The open and close degree of freedom of the door body (20) of the refrigerator (100) can be adjusted, and a plurality of movement trajectories could be produced so as to adapt to different application scenarios.
