Abstract
A free embedded refrigerator which includes a cabinet, a door and a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge part, a second hinge part and a switching assembly connected with the first hinge part and the second hinge part. When the door is in an opening process, the first hinge part moves relative to the switching assembly to drive the door to rotate in situ relative to the cabinet, and then, the switching assembly drives the second hinge part to move relative to the switching assembly to drive the door to continuously rotate in situ. The refrigerator can adjust opening-closing freedom degree of the door, and various motion tracks may be generated to adapt to different application scenarios.
