1. A refrigerator comprising:
a main body having a storage compartment; a first door that is rotatably disposed in front of the main body and has an opening formed therein; a second door that is rotatably disposed in front of the first door to open and close the opening; a handle coupled to the second door and configured to open and close the first door and the second door; and a latch device allowing the second door to be fixed to the first door and released from being fixed to the first door, wherein the latch device comprises:
a fixing unit provided on the first door;a connection member provided to be movable forward and backward, inside the handle, from a perspective of the refrigerator;a handle lever disposed on the handle and provided to be moveable forward from the perspective of the refrigerator to cause the connection member to move forward from the perspective of the refrigerator and moveable backward from the perspective of the refrigerator to cause the connection member to move backward from the perspective of the refrigerator; anda rotation unit provided to be rotatable clockwise and counterclockwise and including a locking portion provided to be rotatable leftward and rightward from the perspective of the refrigerator, wherein
the movement backward of the connection member causes the rotation unit to rotate clockwise which causes the locking portion to rotate rightward from a state in which the locking portion is not hung with the fixing unit and the second door is thereby not fixed to the first door, so that the locking portion becomes hung with the fixing unit and the second door thereby becomes fixed to the first door, andthe movement forward of the connection member causes the rotation unit to rotate counterclockwise which causes the locking portion to rotate leftward from a state in which the locking portion is hung with the fixing unit and the second door is thereby fixed to the first door, so that the locking portion is released from being hung with the fixing unit and the second door is thereby released from being fixed to the first door, wherein the movement of the handle lever forward from the perspective of the refrigerator indicates that the handle lever moves away the main body, to thereby move in a forward direction, the movement of the handle lever backward from the perspective of the refrigerator indicates that the handle lever moves toward the main body, to thereby move in a backward direction, the movement of the connection member forward from the perspective of the refrigerator indicates that the connection member moves in the forward direction, the movement of the connection member backward from the perspective of the refrigerator indicates that the connection member moves in the backward direction, the rotation of the locking portion leftward from the perspective of the refrigerator indicates a rotation of the locking portion leftward with respect to the forward and backward directions, and the rotation of the locking portion rightward from the perspective of the refrigerator indicates a rotation of the locking portion rightward with respect to the forward and backward directions. |
