Further, a direction away from the pivoting side 11 from the center of the case 1 is defined as a first direction X, and a direction toward the pivoting side 11 from the center of the case 1 is defined as a second direction Y.

Specifically, when the rotating end is the right end of the door body 2, the pivoting side 11 refers to the right side of the box body 1, the first direction X is a right-to-left direction, and the second direction Y is a left-to-right direction. When the rotating end is the left end of the door body 2, the pivoting side 11 refers to the left side of the box body 11, the first direction X is the left-to-right direction, and the second direction Y is the right-to-left direction.

Further, during the process of opening the door 2 by rotating, the second shaft 322 moves in the second groove 344 to drive the door 2 to move in the first direction X away from the pivoting side 11. Namely, at this time, the door body 2 rotates relative to the box body 1 and also displaces relative to the box body 1 along the first direction X, so that in the process of rotating the door body 2, the distance that the pivoting end of the door body 2 corresponding to the pivoting side 11 protrudes out of the pivoting side 11 of the box body 1 can be greatly reduced, namely, the displacement of the door body 2 along the first direction X counteracts the part of the door body 2 protruding out of the box body 1 along the second direction in the process of rotating the door body 2, thereby avoiding the door body 2 from interfering with peripheral cabinets or walls and the like in the process of opening, and being suitable for embedded cabinets or scenes with smaller space for accommodating the refrigerator 10.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 6 to 7, when the door 2 is opened from the closed state to the first opening angle, the door 2 is first rotated in place relative to the case 1. That is, the door body 2 only rotates without generating displacement in other directions, so that the door body 2 cannot be normally opened due to displacement of the door body 2 in a certain direction, such as the door body 2 with the turnover beam, can be effectively avoided.

Specifically, the first slot 343 includes an initial position A1 and a first stop position A2, and the second slot 344 includes a first end L1, a second end L2, and a first section L3 and a second section L4 disposed between and connected to the first end L1 and the second end L2. As shown in fig. 6, when the door 2 is in the closed state, the first shaft 321 is at the initial position A1, and the second shaft 322 is at the first end L1, so that the door 2 is kept in the closed state. The first segment L3 is an arc with the initial position A1 as a center. Referring to fig. 7, when the door 2 is opened from the closed state to the first opening angle, the first shaft 321 is maintained at the initial position A1, the second shaft 322 moves in the first section L3, and at this time, the door 2 rotates in place with the first shaft 321 at the initial position A1 as an axis, and for the refrigerator 10 having the turnover beam, the protrusion on the turnover beam can be separated from the groove on the case 1, so that the door 2 can be opened smoothly. Referring to fig. 8, when the door 2 continues to be opened from the first opening angle to the second opening angle, the second shaft 322 moves in the second section L4 toward the second end L2 to drive the first shaft 321 to move from the initial position A1 to the first stop position A2, and at this time, the door 2 moves in the direction away from the pivoting side 11 along the first direction X in the process of rotating, so as to avoid interference between the door 2 and the surrounding cabinets or walls during the opening process, and the door is suitable for a scene with a small space of the embedded cabinet or the refrigerator 10.

Further, when the door body 2 is continuously opened from the second opening angle to the third opening angle, the door body 2 is moved toward the pivoting side 11 in the second direction Y while being rotated. Therefore, the door body 2 is kept away from the box body 1 as far as possible, the opening degree of the box body 1 is ensured, and the problem that drawers, racks and the like in the box body 1 cannot be opened due to interference of the door body 2 is avoided.

Specifically, the first slot 343 further includes a pivot position A3 located at a side of the initial position A1 away from the first stop position A2, and the second slot 344 further includes a third section L5 located between the second section L4 and the second end L2. Referring to fig. 9, when the door 2 is in the process of being continuously opened from the second opening angle to the third opening angle, the second shaft 322 moves in the third section L5 to drive the first shaft 321 to move from the first stop position A2 to the pivot position A3. At this time, the door body 2 moves towards the pivoting side 11 along the second direction Y during rotation, so that the door body 2 is kept away from the box body 1 as far as possible, the opening of the box body 1 is ensured, and the problem that drawers, racks and the like in the box body 1 cannot be opened due to interference of the door body 2 is avoided.

Further, when the door body 2 is in the process of continuing to open from the third opening angle to the maximum opening angle, the door body 2 rotates in situ relative to the box body 1 so as to further open the door body 2.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 10, the second groove 344 further includes a fourth segment L6 located between the third segment L5 and the second end L2, where the fourth segment L6 is an arc groove with the pivot position A3 as a center. Referring to fig. 10, when the door 2 is in the process of continuing to open from the third opening angle to the maximum opening angle, the first shaft 321 is maintained at the pivot position A3, and the second shaft 322 moves in the fourth section L6, so that the door 2 rotates in place around the first shaft 321 at the pivot position A3, so as to further open the door 2.

It will be appreciated that, during the process of opening the door 2 from the closed state to the first opening angle, the pivoting end of the door 2 protrudes slightly from the housing 1 toward the pivoting side 11 in the second direction Y due to the in-situ rotation of the door 2 relative to the housing 1. When the door body 2 is continuously opened to the second opening angle from the first opening angle, the displacement of the door body 2 along the first direction X can offset all parts of the door body 2 protruding out of the box body 1 along the second direction Y in the whole rotation process, and then when the door body 2 is continuously opened to the third opening angle from the second opening angle, the displacement of the door body 2 along the second direction Y can enable the door body 2 not to protrude out of the box body 1 and ensure the opening of the box body 1 as much as possible.

Specifically, the first opening angle is smaller than the second opening angle, the first opening angle is 10 degrees, the second opening angle is not larger than 90 degrees, the third opening angle is 90 degrees, and the maximum opening angle is larger than 90 degrees. That is, in the process of opening the door body 2 from the first opening angle of 10 ° to 90 °, the door body 2 is displaced along the first direction X, so as to avoid interference between the door body 2 and the peripheral cabinet or wall during the opening process, and then the door body 2 is displaced along the second direction Y, so as to avoid the door body 2 from obstructing the opening of the drawer, the rack, etc. in the box body 1, and after reaching 90 °, the door body 2 rotates in place relative to the box body 1 to further open the door body 22.

In summary, in the refrigerator 10 of the present utility model, the latch hook 35 and the sleeve 34 are separately arranged, so that when the latch hook 35 fails or is damaged, only the latch hook 35 needs to be replaced, which is relatively simple and has stronger versatility.
