Home appliance

A home appliance comprising:

• a main body having an inner space;
• a door installed on a right side of the main body so as to be rotatable, and a left side of the main body so as to be rotatable, the door being selectively openable and closable on the right side of the main body and the left side of the main body to access the inner space;
• a first door opening/closing system on the right side of the main body and a right side of the door to open and close the right side of the door;
• a second door opening/closing system on the left side of the main body and a left side of the door to open and close the left side of the door;
• a first locking member configured to be slidable in a left-right direction by an opening operation of the second door opening/closing system to prevent an opening operation of the first door opening/closing system;
• and
• a second locking member configured to be slidable in a left-right direction by the opening operation of the first door opening/closing system to prevent the opening operation of the second door opening/closing system,
• wherein each of the first door opening/closing system and the second door opening/closing system includes:
• a handle installed on the door and configured to be rotatable, and
• a moving member configured to move in an up-down direction by being interlocked with the handle, and configured so that the first locking member is couplable to the moving member of the first door opening/closing system to prevent the opening operation of the first door opening/closing system, and the second locking member is couplable to the moving member of the second door opening/closing system to prevent the opening operation of the second door opening/closing system,
• the first door opening/closing system includes a first locking inducing member configured to move the second locking member toward the second door opening/closing system by integrally rotating with the door when the right side of the door is opened,
• the second door opening/closing system includes a second locking inducing member configured to move the first locking member toward the first door opening/closing system by integrally rotating with the door when the left side of the door is opened,
• a first end of the first locking member is movable along a guide surface formed on the second locking inducing member, and a second end of the first locking member is couplable to the moving member of the first door opening/closing system, and
• a first end of the second locking member is movable along a guide surface formed on the first locking inducing member, and a second end of the second locking member is couplable to the moving member of the second door opening/closing system.

• each of the first door opening/closing system and the second door opening/closing system includes a fixing bracket installed on the main body, the moving member being couplable to the fixing bracket, the fixing bracket including:
• a bracket body fixedly installed on the main body, and
• an arm extending forward from the bracket body to be exposed to the outside of the main body, the arm having a coupling hole,
• the first door opening/closing system includes a first locking inducing member configured to move the second locking member toward the second door opening/closing system by integrally rotating with the door when the right side of the door is opened,
• the second door opening/closing system includes a second locking inducing member configured to move the first locking member toward the first door opening/closing system by integrally rotating with the door when the left side of the door is opened,
• the first locking inducing member includes a contact surface that is inclined to be guided by being in contact with the arm of the fixing bracket of the first door opening/closing system when the right side of the door is opened and closed, and
• the second locking inducing member includes a contact surface that is inclined to be guided by being in contact with the arm of the fixing bracket of the second door opening/closing system when the left side of the door is opened and closed.
