Abstract

The present embodiments relate to a handle assembly for a refrigeration apparatus. The handle assembly can be detachably assembled on either side of a cabinet door of the refrigeration apparatus, the handle assembly comprising: a handle, a handle bracket, and an elastic member, wherein the handle comprises a handle portion and an extension on a side of the handle portion, characterized in that the handle is movably assembled in the handle bracket, wherein the handle portion of the handle is assembled in a first portion of the handle bracket, and the extension of the handle is assembled in a second portion of the handle bracket, and a protrusion is disposed at one end of the extension; and the elastic member is assembled in the second portion of the handle bracket, and the extension of the handle is connected with the elastic member. The present embodiments can realize the opening of the cabinet door of the refrigeration apparatus in two directions, thereby overcoming the disadvantage that it is difficult to open the cabinet door of the refrigeration apparatus due to restriction by the opening direction of the cabinet door in a small space, especially in an in-vehicle environment.
