The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. These embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art according to these embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.
Terms such as "upper," "above," "lower," "below," and the like, used herein to denote relative spatial positions, are used for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. The spatially relative positional terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
The embodiment of the invention provides a refrigerator, wherein a false beam fixing support 3 is arranged at the top and/or the bottom of a storage chamber of the refrigerator, a false beam 1 is arranged at the front side of the false beam fixing support 3, and hinges 2 used for connecting a door body are arranged at one side or two sides of the false beam 1; here, the dummy beam fixing bracket 3 may be disposed at the top of the storage compartment, and in this case, the corresponding hinge 2 is also required to be disposed at the bottom of the storage compartment; the dummy beam fixing bracket 3 can also be arranged at the bottom of the storage compartment, and at the moment, the corresponding hinge 2 also needs to be arranged at the top of the storage compartment; it is also possible to provide the storage compartment with a dummy beam fixing bracket 3 at both the top and bottom. In a side-by-side refrigerator, hinges 2 are provided on both sides of the dummy beam 1, whereas in a single-door refrigerator, the hinges 2 need only be provided on one side of the dummy beam 1. Alternatively, the dummy beam fixing bracket 3 may be directly used as the top or bottom of the storage compartment.
Here, in practice, a storage compartment (e.g., a refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, etc.) for storing articles is provided in a refrigerator, the storage compartment is usually a rectangular parallelepiped space formed by five sides and one door, and in a state when the refrigerator is normally used, a portion on an upper side of the storage compartment is a top of the storage compartment, and a portion on a lower side of the storage compartment is a bottom of the storage compartment. The front side of the false beam fixing bracket 3 is the side of the false beam fixing bracket 3 facing the user when the user faces the door body.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a plurality of first fixing holes 31 are formed in the front side of the dummy beam fixing bracket 3, and a plurality of oblong holes 11 corresponding to the first fixing holes 31 one by one are formed in the dummy beam; the first fixing hole 31 and the oblong hole 11 can be connected through a screw 14, and when the screw 14 is in a loosening state, the false beam 1 can horizontally move along the screw 14; when the screw 14 is in a tightened state, the dummy beam 1 is fastened to the front side of the dummy beam fixing bracket 3; here, the screw 14 can pass through the oblong hole 11 and then extend into the first fixing hole 31, and it is understood that the first fixing hole 31 is provided with a thread corresponding to the screw 14 around the inner circle thereof.
A plurality of second fixing holes 32 are formed in the front side of the false beam fixing support 3, and a plurality of positioning holes 12 which correspond to the second fixing holes 32 one by one are formed in the false beam; the second fixing hole 32 and the positioning hole 12 can be fixedly connected through a screw 14; here, the screw 14 can pass through the positioning hole 12 and then extend into the second fixing hole 32, and it is understood that a thread corresponding to the screw 14 is provided around the inner circle of the second fixing hole 32.
