Abstract: A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, first and second doors opening or closing the storage compartment, and a pillar configured to block cool air from leaking between the first and second doors. The refrigerator also includes a hinge that rotatably connects the pillar to the first door and a holder disposed on the storage compartment and configured to guide rotation of the pillar. The hinge includes a rotation shaft that enables the pillar to rotate with respect to the first door and a rotation restriction unit that is configured to contact the holder and, based on the contact with the holder, move the rotation shaft in a direction parallel to an extension direction of the rotation shaft. The rotation restriction unit selectively restricts the rotation of the pillar with respect to the first door.

Abstract translation: 冰箱包括具有储藏室的主体，打开或关闭储藏室的第一和第二门，以及用于阻止冷空气在第一和第二门之间泄漏的支柱。 冰箱还包括可旋转地将支柱连接到第一门的铰链和设置在储藏室上并构造成引导柱的旋转的保持器。 铰链包括使支柱相对于第一门旋转的旋转轴和旋转限制单元，其构造成接触保持器，并且基于与保持器的接触，使旋转轴沿平行于第一门的方向移动 旋转轴的延伸方向。 旋转限制单元选择性地限制支柱相对于第一门的旋转。

Abstract: A dispenser includes a water supply flow path to guide water supplied from a water supply source toward a filter; an auxiliary flow path to branch off at the first point of the water supply flow path and then to merge into a second point located downstream of the first point; a flow switching valve installed at the first point to control a flow from the water supply flow path to the auxiliary flow path; a water ejection nozzle through which filtered is ejected; a hot water module forming a heating flow path and configured to heat the purified water into hot water; a hot water flow path configured to guide the hot water passing through the hot water module toward the water ejection nozzle; and a controller to control the flow switching valve and the hot water module.
