Abstract:

A refrigerator, which needs a reduced force to close a door body and can maintain a desired position when the door body is closed. The refrigerator comprises a double-door body composed of a first door body (3) and a second door body (4), wherein the first door body (3) is provided with a rotatably arranged center post (10), the center post (10) is provided with a stop mechanism (20) for preventing rotation of the center post (10), and the stop mechanism (20) is provided with a release mechanism (14) for releasing stopping. By means of opening and closing the first door body (3), the center post (10) is switched between a first position where the center post is located when the first door body (3) is opened and a second position where the center post is located when the first door body (3) is closed; and when the center post is rotated from the first position to the second position, the stop mechanism (20) is released by means of the release mechanism (14) and thus switching is achieved. The stop mechanism (20) is provided with a protruding portion (15), and when the center post (10) is at the first position and the release mechanism (14) does not perform release, the protruding portion (15) reduces the amount of rotation of the center post (10).
