A refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator body with an open front side, a first door body and a second door body that are rotatably disposed on the front side of the refrigerator body in a side-by-side manner, a vertical beam that is mounted at an open end of the first door body to be rotatable around a first vertical axis (X1), and at least one driving mechanism , wherein the driving mechanism comprises: a telescopic member , telescopically mounted on the first door body in the thickness direction of the first door body , to be at an extension position where the rear end of the telescopic member projects and extends out of the surface of the inner side of the first door body , or at a retraction position of retracting from the extension position to the interior of the first door body by a preset distance; an elastic member, configured to apply an elastic force to the telescopic member to prompt same to move towards the extension position; a rotating member, mounted on the first door body to be rotatable around a second vertical axis (X2), and mounted on the telescopic member to be rotatable around a third vertical axis (X3), wherein a sliding channel is formed in the rotating member; and a sliding column , directly or indirectly fixed to the vertical beam and slidable along the sliding channel ; and the refrigerator is configured such that when the first door body is in an open state, the telescopic member is at the extension position, and the vertical beam is in a folded state attached to the inner side of the first door body ; and during the closing of the first door body , the telescopic member is blocked by the refrigerator body and moves to the retraction position, to drive the rotating member to rotate around the second vertical axis (X2), so that the sliding channel pushes the sliding column to drive the vertical beam to rotate to an unfolded state, so as to seal a gap between the first door body and the second door body . a telescopic member , telescopically mounted on the first door body in the thickness direction of the first door body , to be at an extension position where the rear end of the telescopic member projects and extends out of the surface of the inner side of the first door body , or at a retraction position of retracting from the extension position to the interior of the first door body by a preset distance; an elastic member, configured to apply an elastic force to the telescopic member to prompt same to move towards the extension position; a rotating member, mounted on the first door body to be rotatable around a second vertical axis (X2), and mounted on the telescopic member to be rotatable around a third vertical axis (X3), wherein a sliding channel is formed in the rotating member; and a sliding column , directly or indirectly fixed to the vertical beam and slidable along the sliding channel ; and the refrigerator is configured such that when the first door body is in an open state, the telescopic member is at the extension position, and the vertical beam is in a folded state attached to the inner side of the first door body ; and during the closing of the first door body , the telescopic member is blocked by the refrigerator body and moves to the retraction position, to drive the rotating member to rotate around the second vertical axis (X2), so that the sliding channel pushes the sliding column to drive the vertical beam to rotate to an unfolded state, so as to seal a gap between the first door body and the second door body . <EOS>
