Hinge module for refrigerator and refrigerator with same

Abstract

The invention provides a hinge module for a refrigerator and the refrigerator with the same. The hinge module comprises a first slide stop part and a second slide stop part; the first slide stop part and the second slide stop part are respectively provided with a first butting surface and a second butting surface matched with each other; the outer peripheries of the first butting surface and the second butting surface are both circular, and are coaxially arranged; the first butting surface is projected with N first arc tables with the same structures from the peripheral side; the second butting surface is recessed with N+M first accommodating grooves with the same structures and matched with the first arc tables from the peripheral side; in an initial state, a door body is closed on a box body, the N first arc tables are respectively staggered from the corresponding first accommodating grooves, and arc center angles corresponding to the staggered differences are the same; and when the door body is opened from the box body to reach a first angle, at least one first arc table is completely embedded in the corresponding first accommodating grooves. The hinge module can realize hovering of the door body of the refrigerator in the opening process to satisfy user demands.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a hinge assembly for a refrigerator and a refrigerator having the same. Background technique [0002] At present, refrigerators all realize the rotation of the door body through hinges to realize the purpose of opening and closing the door. During use, when the refrigerator door is opened to a certain angle, it will be in a state of free movement. When users take and place items, they need to fix the door with one hand and use the other hand to take and place items, which is very inconvenient. In addition, there may also be situations where the refrigerator door collides with foreign objects when the door is opened due to the excessively large opening angle of the refrigerator door. Based on this, how to enable the refrigerator door to hover at a set opening angle has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Contents of the invention [0003] The objec...
