The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator body and a door body. A hinge body is disposed on the refrigerator body. A first hinge shaft and a second hinge shaft are disposed on the hinge body. A first guide groove and a second guide groove are formed in the door body. The first hinge shaft is located in the first guide groove and the second hinge shaft is located in the second guide groove. During opening of the door body, the first guide groove moves relative to the first hinge shaft and the second guide groove moves relative to the second hinge shaft, the first hinge shaft applies an acting force to the first guide groove to drive the end, away from the first guide groove, of the second guide groove to approach the second hinge shaft, so that the door body is displaced in a horizontal direction.

A cabinet structure includes a wrapper that is spaced apart from a liner. A trim breaker is coupled to the wrapper and the liner. An insulation cavity is disposed between the wrapper, the liner, and the trim breaker. An encapsulation member is disposed rearwardly of the trim breaker and defines an encapsulation cavity that is separated from the insulation cavity. The encapsulation member is free from openings. A hinge support is operably coupled to the encapsulation member to further define the encapsulation cavity. The hinge support has a lower frame portion that extends perpendicularly along the trim breaker. The hinge support is disposed forwardly of the trim breaker.

Door alarm systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed. A door alarm system may monitor a door of a refrigeration device and detect a failed attempt at closing the door. In response to detecting the failed attempt, the door alarm system may generate a notification of the detected, failed attempt so that remedial action may be taken.

A refrigerator and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, which may automatically open or close a door and a method for controlling the same. The refrigerator may automatically open or close door(s) of the refrigerator by controlling a motor. After lapse of a predetermined time after the door of the refrigerator has been closed, the refrigerator operates a motor with an output used when the door is not opened, such that the refrigerator may remove noise while simultaneously maintaining a constant door opening time when the door is opened. In addition, when the door opening signal time is detected, the refrigerator may immediately opens the door.

A free embedded refrigerator which includes a cabinet, a door and a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge part, a second hinge part and a switching assembly connected with the first hinge part and the second hinge part. When the door is in an opening process, the first hinge part moves relative to the switching assembly to drive the door to rotate in situ relative to the cabinet, and then, the switching assembly drives the second hinge part to move relative to the switching assembly to drive the door to continuously rotate in situ. The refrigerator can adjust opening-closing freedom degree of the door, and various motion tracks may be generated to adapt to different application scenarios.

Provided is a refrigerator having a simplified interior. The refrigerator includes a main body, a storage compartment formed in the main body and having a front side thereof open, a first door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close a part of the storage compartment, a second door arranged below the first door and rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close a remaining part of the storage compartment, a filler rotatably provided on the first door or the second door to seal a gap between the first door and the second door in a state in which the first door and the second door are closed, a filler guide configured to guide the filler to be rotated in a first direction, and disposed on a sidewall of the storage compartment adjacent to a rotation axis of the first door and the second door, and a filler pusher configured to push the filler to be rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A refrigerator with a switchable hinge assembly which includes a cabinet (10), a door (20) and the hinge assembly (30) for connecting the cabinet (10) and the door (20), wherein the hinge assembly (30) includes a plurality of hinge parts (31,32), and a switching assembly (40); when the door (20) is in an opening process, the switching assembly (40) controls the plurality of hinge parts (31,32) to successively operate in a first sequence, and when the door (20) is in a closing process, the switching assembly (40) controls the plurality of hinge parts (31,32) to successively operate in a second sequence, and the first sequence is opposite to the second sequence. An opening-closing freedom degree of the door (20) may be increased by the refrigerator with the switchable hinge assembly, and various motion tracks may be generated to adapt to different application scenarios.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator, including a cabinet, a door for opening and closing the cabinet, and a hinge assembly for connecting the cabinet and the door, the door comprises a door gravity center, when the door is in an opening process, the hinge assembly drives the door gravity center to move towards the cabinet. In the present invention, the hinge assembly drives the door gravity center to move towards the cabinet, thereby effectively preventing the refrigerator from toppling and falling.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator, including a cabinet, a door for opening and closing the cabinet, and a hinge assembly for connecting the cabinet and the door, wherein the cabinet includes an accommodating chamber and an outer side surface adjacent to the hinge assembly and located on an extension section of a rotation path of the door, a direction from the accommodating chamber towards the outer side surface serves as a first direction, and when the door is in an opening process, the hinge assembly drives the door to move away from the cabinet in the first direction. In the present invention, the door may be driven to move away from the cabinet in the first direction by the hinge assembly; that is, the door moves away from the accommodating chamber, thus guaranteeing an opening degree of the cabinet.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator, including a cabinet, a door for opening and closing the cabinet, and a hinge assembly for connecting the cabinet and the door, wherein the cabinet includes a rear wall and an opening provided opposite to each other, a direction from the rear wall towards the opening serves as a first direction, and when the door is in an opening process, the hinge assembly drives the door to move away from the cabinet in the first direction. In the present invention, mutual separation of the door and the cabinet may be assisted under the action of the hinge assembly, thereby improving door opening smoothness.
