Description

ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED REFRIGERATOR WITH A DOOR OF WHICH THE OPENING DIRECTION CAN BE CHANGED
Field of the Invention
This invention is related with electronic controlled, one door, double door and multi door refrigerators.
Background of the Invention In electronic controlled refrigerators, the electronic control and display panel are placed on the front side of the refrigerator either on the lower or upper door, to maintain the ease of use. The power cable which supplies power for the display panel comes from the inner part of the cabinet is let out from the top panel of the cabinet and moves to the door by passing the top hinge. When the direction of the door is to be changed, the hinges should be removed and mounted to the other side. But in electronic controlled refrigerators, because the power cable moves to the door by passing the top hinge, the hinge cannot be dismantled and so the direction of the door could not be changed.
US Patent No. 5,829,197, which is the present known technical state explains a hinge which enables the door to be opened to both sides but this hinge does not provide a solution for the cables which supplies power to the display panel in electronic controlled refrigerators.
The Japanese patent application (no. JP 20012722152) is related with the cable connection between the refrigerator cabinet and the door in electronic controlled refrigerators but neither the electronic controlled refrigerator explained in this application can provide a two way opening for the door.
In prior art, many patents can be found regarding the change in the door opening direction of refrigerators. These patents can not provide a solution for the power cable which moves to the door by passing the hinge and hinders the change of door opening direction. Summary of the invention
The aim of this invention is to provide the door of electronic controlled refrigerators to open to both directions.
