    摘要: Provided is a movable refrigerator allowing bidirectional door opening. The refrigerator comprises a refrigerator body and a refrigerator door, wherein the refrigerator door is detachably connected to the refrigerator body; door frames are provided at four corners of the refrigerator body, and convex door columns are fixedly provided at the door frames; mounting grooves are provided at two ends of one side of the refrigerator door, and accommodating grooves are provided at two ends of the corresponding side; and limiting protrusions are provided in the mounting grooves, and the door columns are clamped between the mounting grooves and the limiting protrusions, so that the refrigerator body and the refrigerator door are rotatably connected, and the door columns on the opposite sides are accommodated in the accommodating grooves. By providing the door columns on the front side and the rear side of the refrigerator body and also providing the mounting grooves and the accommodating grooves on the refrigerator door, the refrigerator door can be mounted on any lateral surface on the front side or the rear side, it is easy to detach the refrigerator door from the refrigerator body, and a user can change the opening direction of the refrigerator door at any time, thereby overcoming the defect of one-side door opening.

    摘要: A bidirectional opening/closing door unit and a refrigerator having the same. The door unit is provided at a side of a body of the refrigerator to open or close the body. The body includes hinges protruding from left and right sides of the body to be coupled with the door unit. The door unit includes a door and an opening/closing device provided at a side of the door. The opening/closing device includes a pair of opening/closing structures detachable to the respective hinges, and an operative connector to be operatively connected to one of the opening/closing structures to limit operation of the other opening/closing structure. With this configuration, the operative connector can achieve smooth movements and maintain a high durability in spite of frequency opening/closing operations and long time use of the door.

    摘要: A door opening/closing mechanism fitted on a door that closes and opens an opening formed in the body of an apparatus by being brought into and out of contact with the rim of the opening has cam mechanisms that permit the door to engage with and disengage from the body at either of the right and left sides of the door. The cam mechanisms can be brought into a first lock position in which they lie symmetrically at both sides of the door and into a second lock position in which they lie symmetrically at both sides of the door, and each have a hinge pin that serves as a rotation axis in the second lock position and a groove cam that engages with the hinge pin in such a way as to be movable relative to the hinge pin. The groove cam has a slide portion on which a part of the innermost portion of the hinge pin slides when the cam mechanism is moved from the first lock position to the second lock position and of which the length in the direction of the width of the door is greater than the maximum permissible variation in the outermost distance (L) between the two groove cams formed at both sides of the door. When the door is closed, the cam mechanisms at both sides are kept in the first lock position and, when the door is opened at one side, the door slides and thereby causes the cam mechanism at the other side to be brought into the second lock position so as to be rotatably locked in the second lock position.

    摘要: A refrigeration unit with improved storage and accessibility features has a thermally insulated cabinet and door defining a storage space with a plurality of support elements. The support elements include easily removable door shelves and horizontal cabinet shelves that can be removed or repositioned without the door being fully opened due to dished regions adjacent the shelf supports that allow the shelves to be pivoted and removed rather than slid straight out of the cabinet. Indicia on one of the shelves follows the contour of one of the door shelves to indicate approximately the shelf space occupied by an adjacent door shelf and thus where items can be set without interfering with the closure of the door. The refrigeration unit also includes a cam assembly at the lower door hinge which biases the door closed when open approximately 35 degrees or less. The refrigeration unit also includes features for attaching an overlay panel to the door easily.

    摘要: There is disclosed a door operation mechanism which can open/close a door to either right or left side. When a handle portion 116 is manually pivoted and displaced, it rotates cams 98 and 98a and, thus, a thrust-up rod 94 is pushed up and a push-down rod 94a is pushed down. The thrust-up rod 94 pushes and displaces a swing plate 66 in a hinge mechanism 16a. The push-down rod 94a pushes and displaces a swing place 66 in a hinge mechanism 16b. Then, the swing plates 66 in the hinge mechanisms 16a and 16b fail to bind hinge pins 22 and 26, respectively, and the right side of a door 14 is released. By pulling the right side of the door 14, the door 14 can be opened on the axis of hinge mechanisms 16c and 16d which are provided on the left side of the door. On the other hand, when a left unlocking mechanism 20b is operated, the door 14 can be opened on the axis of the hinge mechanisms 16a and 16b on the right side of the door. Therefore, the door 14 can be opened to either right or left side.
