Abstract
A refrigerator includes a box body, a hinge assembly, and a door body. The hinge assembly includes a plate body, a locking hook, and a blocking portion. A free end of the locking hook extends in a direction away from the plate body and is bent in a direction proximate to the plate body, so as to form an opening toward the plate body. In a case where the door body is in a closed state, the blocking portion is located in the opening. During a process from closing to opening of the door body, the locking hook is deformed under force to be disengaged from the blocking portion and unlocked.
