本发明涉及冰箱制造技术领域，尤其涉及一种双向开门装置及具有该装置的冰箱。
背景技术
冰箱作为一种可使食物或其他物品保持恒定低温冷态的容器已成为现代家庭必不可少家用电器之一。冰箱通常包括有上下分离设置的冷藏室和冷冻室，以用于分别存放需在不同温度下保存的物品，对应这两个冷藏室分别设有两个门体。目前市场上的冰箱门体大多为右开门体，也就是将铰链安装在门体右侧，使得开门体时从冰箱左侧将门体向右打开。随着人们对冰箱使用中个性化和舒适度要求的提高，并且受房屋户型和家具布局的影响，用户对冰箱的摆放位置和门体朝向也有一定的要求；特别是当出现上述需求而需要冰箱门体为左开门体时，则需要请专业人员上门体将铰链拆下后更换到冰箱的另一侧，由此实现从另一侧开门体。该种冰箱门体换向打开方式即不方便，费用也高，并且冰箱位置更换而导致门体又要换向打开时又要找专业人员上门体操作，较为麻烦。
因此，有必要提供一种改进的双向开门装置及具有该装置的冰箱以解决上述问题。

作为本发明的进一步改进，所述凸轮收容于所述配合槽内，并且所述配合槽设置于所述连杆的中间位置。
作为本发明的进一步改进，所述壳体上设有用以固定弹性体一端的第一定位轴，所述凸轮上设有固定弹性体另一端的第二定位轴，所述凸轮和第一定位轴沿壳体宽度方向位于同一直线上。
作为本发明的进一步改进，所述凸轮设有径向相对的凸部和凹部，所述第二定位轴设置于所述凸部上。
作为本发明的进一步改进，所述锁定机构包括自连杆端部沿其长度方向向外延伸以伸入开口部的阻挡部。
作为本发明的进一步改进，所述锁定机构包括枢接于壳体上的锁定件、以及连接锁定件和连杆末端并相互配合的枢轴和移动槽；所述锁定件设有可伸入开口部内的卡勾；所述锁定机构被如此设置：在连杆移动时带动在其移动方向上的锁定机构的卡勾伸入开口部，另一侧的锁定机构的卡勾移出开口部。
作为本发明的进一步改进，所述移动槽设置在所述锁定件远离卡勾的一端；所述枢轴设置在所述连杆末端，在锁定件旋转时，所述枢轴与移动槽内壁相抵持并且在移动槽内移动。

所述锁定机构3包括自连杆2两端沿其长度方向向外延伸的阻挡部30，所述阻挡部30可伸入开口部10内以对固定柱821进行阻挡。
在本实施方式中，每一组锁定机构3还包括有枢接于壳体1上的锁定件31、以及连接锁定件31和连杆2末端并相互配合的枢轴22和移动槽33。所述锁定件31上设有与壳体1枢转连接的转轴310、以及伸入壳体1的开口部10内的卡勾311；所述卡勾311与连杆2上的阻挡部30相对设置，并共同用以与门体82或者箱体81上的固定柱821相配合定位。
在本实施方式中，所述移动槽33呈长条形，并且设置在所述锁定件31远离卡勾311的一端；所述枢轴22设置在所述连杆2末端，并在锁定件31旋转时在所述移动槽33内移动。所述转轴310位于所述移动槽33和卡勾311之间。
所述壳体1上还设有自开口部10内侧边缘伸出的弧形突起13，在锁定机构3闭合时，所述卡勾311、阻挡部30和弧形突起13之间形成一个圆形收容孔，以固定所述门体82或者箱体81上的固定柱821。所述卡勾311设有朝向开口部10的内侧壁，所述卡勾311的内侧壁凹设有与所述突起13相配合的凹陷部3110。所述壳体1上还设有与所述转轴310相配合的轴孔14，所述轴孔14与弧形突起13相邻设置。
所述拨动机构4用以驱动连杆2左右移动，进而使得锁定机构3对开口部10进行打开或闭合，其包括安装于壳体1上并向外暴露的拨盘41、连接拨盘41和连杆2的连动机构42、以及对连杆2位置进行限定的限定机构43。在本实施方式中，所述连动机构42为与拨盘41相固定的凸轮。所述限定机构43为连接于凸轮42和壳体1之间的弹性体。该弹性体43可对凸轮42的状态进行保持，进而对连杆2的位置状态进行限定。所述壳本体11的底壁111上突设有用以固定弹性体43一端的第一定位轴116。
所述凸轮42设置于连杆2的配合槽21内，并与配合槽21的内壁相配 合，使得凸轮42旋转时可抵持配合槽21的内壁并带动连杆2左右移动，进而通过连杆2带动两组锁定机构3中的一者对其对应侧的开口部10进行锁定，另一者解除对其对应侧的开口部10的锁定。所述拨盘41设有朝向壳体1外侧的操作部411以及自壳本体11上的穿孔115穿过的连接部412。所述凸轮42上设有与连接部412相固定的固定孔421、以及沿垂直壳本体11的底壁111方向延伸的第二定位轴422。所述固定孔421与所述第一定位轴116沿壳体1宽度方向位于同一直线上。所述弹性体43的另一端固定在所述第二定位轴422上。所述凸轮42设有径向相对的凸部423和凹部424，所述第二定位轴422设置于所述凸部423上。
结合图1所示，在本实施方式中所述弹性体43为扭簧；在初始状态下，所述凸轮42的凸部423朝向后壁114方向设置，此时所述凸轮42和第一定位轴116沿壳体1宽度方向位于同一直线上。
在本实施方式中，连杆2上的所述配合槽21设置于所述连杆2的中间位置，诚然，所述配合槽21也可设置在两组锁定机构3之间的其他位置处。
结合图1、图2、图4及图5所示，综上，本发明中双向开门装置100使用时，用户可直接操作拨动机构4，即当需要将冰箱800的门体82设置为向右侧打开时，可直接将拨盘41顺时针旋转，拨盘41便会带动凸轮42顺时针旋转，从而推动连杆2向右移动，此时，凸轮42的一侧旋转至抵持配合槽21靠近前壁113的一侧内壁，扭簧43抵持第二定位轴422而保持凸轮42的该种旋转后的位置状态，连杆2左端的枢轴22抵顶与其配合的锁定件31上的移动槽33内壁，使得该锁定件31绕转轴310顺时针旋转，从而使得卡勾311逐渐离开开口部10，同时连杆2向右移动时左侧的阻挡部30也逐渐离开开口部10，进而脱离对该侧固定柱821的限制，进而使得冰箱800门体82可以从该侧打开。
在上述过程中，连杆2右侧的锁定件31被连杆2抵持也顺时针旋转，而使得该侧的锁定件31上的卡勾311更加伸入开口部10，同时连杆2向右移动时右侧的阻挡部30也更加伸入开口部10内，以对固定柱821进行限制；此时，该侧的卡勾311、阻挡部22和弧形突起13共同围成一个圆形收容孔，从而将该侧的固定柱821包围在其中；另外，在拨动机构4中扭簧43的扭力作用下，本发明双向开门装置100可有效保持用户调节后的该种开门体状态。
当需要将冰箱800的门体82设置为向左侧打开时，只要按照上面的使用方式反向操作即可。由此可知，本发明中双向开门装置100可直接通过调节拨动机构4即可实现冰箱800门体82的开门体方向的调节，简单方便，完全不需专业人员上门体操作，省时省力，且其结构简单，成本较低。
另外，在本实施方式中，所述锁定机构3包括上述与连杆2相连接的锁定件31，以及设置于连杆2末端的阻挡部30，以共同对冰箱800的箱体81或门体82上的固定柱821进行固定；诚然，所述锁定机构3也可选择性地单独设置所述锁定件31或者连杆2末端的阻挡部30，使得在拨动机构4拨动连杆2移动时，锁定件31的卡勾311或者连杆2末端的阻挡部30可单独对固定柱821进行固定，同样也可达成本发明的目的。
另外，结合图2及图3所示，图3所示另一实施方式中所述弹性体43也可为拉簧或压簧，该种情况下在初始状态时，所述凸轮42的凸部423朝向前壁113方向设置，同样所述凸轮42和第一定位轴116沿壳体1宽度方向位于同一直线上。在该实施方式中，所述凸轮42的旋转方向与上述弹性体43为扭簧时的刚好相反，且在凸轮42旋转后，凸轮42的一侧与配合槽21靠近后壁114的一侧内壁相抵持，处于拉伸状态的拉簧或压簧拉动凸轮42的第二定位轴422，从而保持凸轮42旋转后的位置状态。
综上所述，本发明双向开门装置100通过拨动机构4中的凸轮42结构推动连杆2左右移动，从而带动连杆2两端的锁定机构3开启或闭合，使得用户可直接操作拨盘41即可实现连杆2两侧的锁定机构3的开合切换，进而可对设置有该双向开门装置100的冰箱800进行门体82打开方向的切换，简单方便，完全不需专业人员上门体操作，省时省力，且其结构简单，成本较低。
