The present embodiments relate to a handle assembly for a refrigeration apparatus. The handle assembly can be detachably assembled on either side of a cabinet door of the refrigeration apparatus, the handle assembly comprising: a handle, a handle bracket, and an elastic member, wherein the handle comprises a handle portion and an extension on a side of the handle portion, characterized in that the handle is movably assembled in the handle bracket, wherein the handle portion of the handle is assembled in a first portion of the handle bracket, and the extension of the handle is assembled in a second portion of the handle bracket, and a protrusion is disposed at one end of the extension; and the elastic member is assembled in the second portion of the handle bracket, and the extension of the handle is connected with the elastic member. The present embodiments can realize the opening of the cabinet door of the refrigeration apparatus in two directions, thereby overcoming the disadvantage that it is difficult to open the cabinet door of the refrigeration apparatus due to restriction by the opening direction of the cabinet door in a small space, especially in an in-vehicle environment.

A side-open left-right-door arbitrary-opening structure of a refrigerator comprises four hinge shafts are fixedly connected at left and right sides of a refrigerator body in pairs respectively, left and right sides of upper and lower end faces of a refrigerator door are all provided with an opening neck, each hinge shaft is correspondingly placed in one opening neck, four hinge shaft stoppers are slidably arranged on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door in pairs respectively, one spring is arranged between two hinge shaft stoppers in each pair, tail ends of the hinge shaft stoppers on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door extend into the opening necks at the corresponding sides, and the hinge shafts at the corresponding sides are positioned in the opening necks.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet defining a storage space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a step difference adjustment member disposed at a rear surface of the door. The step difference adjustment member comprises (i) a stopper that contacts, based on the door being closed, a front surface of the cabinet and (ii) a mounting portion that defines an accommodation space into which the stopper is inserted, and the stopper is configured to move with respect to the mounting portion to thereby vary a protruding length of the stopper from the mounting portion.

A refrigerator has a cabinet. The cabinet has an opening therein to provide access to the cabinet. The opening is defined by a frame forming a face of the cabinet about the opening. The frame has a first face corner, a second face corner, a third face corner and a fourth corner; each face corner having a respective securing means thereon. A door has a first edge. A first recess is formed at an end portion of the first edge. A second recessed corner is disposed at a second end point of the first edge; away from the first corner. A first hinge is disposed in the first recess. A second hinge is disposed in the second recess. The door is hingedly affixed to the cabinet for selectively sealing the cabinet when the first hinge is affixed to one of the securing means of the first corner and the second corner, and the second hinge is affixed to one of the securing means of the second corner and third corner.

A mechanism for opening a door of a refrigerator from either the left side or the right side of the door includes a pair of first modules arranged symmetrically about the center line of the door on the left side and the right side of the door, and a pair of second modules arranged symmetrically about the center line of a refrigerator body on the left side and the right side of the refrigerator body. Each first module comprises an opening and a gear which is rotatably mounted on the door. Each second module comprises a rack configured to be engaged with one of the gears, a hinge, a rotating shaft and a guiding slider for guiding a rotation of one of the gears.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet defining a storage space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a step difference adjustment member disposed at a rear surface of the door. The step difference adjustment member comprises (i) a stopper that contacts, based on the door being closed, a front surface of the cabinet and (ii) a mounting portion that defines an accommodation space into which the stopper is inserted, and the stopper is configured to move with respect to the mounting portion to thereby vary a protruding length of the stopper from the mounting portion.

Provided is a vacuum adiabatic module. The vacuum adiabatic module include an inner cover corresponding to an inner space, an outer cover corresponding to an outer space, the outer cover being provided to be larger than the inner cover, a vacuum space which is defined as inner spaces of the outer cover and the inner cover and is in a vacuum state, and a conductive resistance sheet provided on a connection portion between the inner cover and the outer cover to resist to thermal conduction. According to this embodiment, the vacuum adiabatic module may be more conveniently applied to the refrigerator and easily handled to easily fabricate the refrigerator.

A side-open left-right-door arbitrary-opening structure of a refrigerator comprises four hinge shafts are fixedly connected at left and right sides of a refrigerator body in pairs respectively, left and right sides of upper and lower end faces of a refrigerator door are all provided with an opening neck, each hinge shaft is correspondingly placed in one opening neck, four hinge shaft stoppers are slidably arranged on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door in pairs respectively, one spring is arranged between two hinge shaft stoppers in each pair, tail ends of the hinge shaft stoppers on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door extend into the opening necks at the corresponding sides, and the hinge shafts at the corresponding sides are positioned in the opening necks.

An enclosure has a door that can be opened from one of two sides by the operation of one of two handles that extend along opposing vertical sides of the door. Each handle can move corresponding upper and lower latch bars that allow that same side of the door to be selectively released from one set of hinge pins that are affixed to the enclosure and allow the door to pivot about another set of hinge pins on the opposite side. Guide pins on the hinge side engage arcuate guide channels as the door pivots, preventing the door from being detached once pivoted about one of the axes. When the latch bars are moved to the release position on one side, the latch bars on the opposite side are prevented from being moved to the release position at the same time.
