The fixed shelf is fixedly arranged on the clamping groove of the door inner container and is commonly used in the existing refrigerator, and the fixed shelf has the defects that the shelf is generally single-layer and has small storage capacity.
The flip-type shelf can be used for taking and placing articles by opening the flip cover in an up-and-down rotating mode, so that the sealing and fresh-keeping effects are improved, food tainting is prevented, and the flip-type shelf has the defect that the articles with the height smaller than that of the shelf can only be stored.
The position of the shelf can be adjusted in the vertical direction by the vertically movable shelf, so that the height space is utilized more reasonably.
The rotation type shelf is nested structure generally, comprises inside and outside two-layer and rotation axis installation department, and the skin is shelf seat (or tray), and fixed mounting is on the door inner bag draw-in groove, and the inlayer is rotatory shelf, and rotatory opening shelf when taking out article, rotatory closing and formation enclosure space when depositing article increase fresh-keeping effect.
However, the existing rotary shelf, namely the tray type rotary shelf, has a large number of parts and is complex to assemble. And the tray type rotary shelf is a single-layer shelf, so that the storage capacity is small. In addition, the tray type rotary shelf can only store small pieces or objects with small height.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a rotary type storage mechanism for a refrigerator, which has a small number of parts and is easy to assemble.
The invention provides a rotary type storage mechanism for a refrigerator, which is used for storing articles and comprises the following components: a mounting member provided inside the refrigerator; a storage rack suspended from the bottom of the mounting member; a rotating unit including a rotating shaft provided on one of the mounting member and the storage rack and a slot provided on the other of the mounting member and the storage rack, the rotating shaft being inserted through an opening of the slot and rotating so as to engage with the slot; and an engaging unit including an engaging portion provided on one of the mounting member and the storage rack and an engaged portion provided on the other of the mounting member and the storage rack, wherein the engaging portion is inserted into the engaged portion to slide, and the engaging portion slides along the engaged portion as the storage rack rotates around the rotation axis, thereby opening or closing the storage rack.
The rotary unit composed of the rotary shaft and the clamping groove respectively arranged on the mounting component and the storage rack and the clamping unit composed of the clamping part and the clamped part respectively arranged on the mounting component and the storage rack can open or close the storage rack in a rotating mode around the rotary shaft, and the number of parts of the rotary storage mechanism for the refrigerator is less than that of the conventional tray type rotary shelf. Further, the rotation shaft is inserted from the opening of the engaging groove and is engaged with the engaging groove, and then the storage rack is rotated to a predetermined position around the rotation shaft and the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged portion, whereby the storage rack can be easily attached to the attachment member.
The rotation shaft may be integrally provided at a bottom of the mounting member, the engaging groove may be integrally provided at a side wall of the storage rack, the engaged portion may be integrally provided at the bottom of the mounting member, and the engaging portion may be integrally provided at the side wall of the storage rack.
Accordingly, the rotary type storage mechanism for the refrigerator can be realized by only two parts, namely the mounting part and the storage rack, by integrally forming the rotating shaft and the engaged part on the mounting part and integrally forming the clamping groove and the engaging part on the storage rack, so that the number of parts is greatly reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
The engaged portion may be an arc-shaped groove having an L-shaped cross section, and the engaging portion may be a protruding portion protruding laterally from a side wall of the storage rack.
Thus, the protruding portion as the engaging portion can be reliably engaged with the L-shaped groove of the engaged portion, and when the storage rack is opened or closed, the engaging portion can be smoothly slid along the arc-shaped engaged portion, and the storage rack can be reliably supported.
The mounting member may be an upper storage shelf mounted on the refrigerator door.
Thus, the rotary type storage mechanism for the refrigerator is composed of upper and lower two-layer storage racks, the upper storage rack (the upper storage rack) is a traditional fixed storage rack, and a lower storage rack (the storage rack) is hung on the lower layer. The upper storage rack is characterized in that the existing storage mode is reserved for the upper storage rack, relatively large articles or articles with higher height can be stored, the lower storage rack can be opened and closed in a rotating mode, small articles can be stored, the storage space can be fully utilized, and when the lower storage rack is closed, the lower storage rack can be sealed by utilizing the bottom of the upper storage rack, so that the freshness can be improved. In addition, the number of parts is small, so that the cost is greatly reduced.
Further, the protruding direction of the protruding portion may be opposite to the opening direction of the card slot.
Therefore, when the storage rack is rotatably opened and closed after being mounted on the mounting component, when force is applied to the storage rack along the horizontal direction, the clamping part can not be disengaged from the clamped part, and the rotating shaft can not be disengaged from the clamping groove, so that the storage rack can not be disengaged from the mounting component in a state of normal use of a user, and the safety is ensured.
Further, a stopper may be provided at a front end of the groove as the engaged portion.
Thus, when the storage rack rotates and reaches the maximum opening position, the clamping part is abutted with the stopping part and cannot rotate further, and the storage rack is prevented from being separated from the mounting part.
Further, an assembly indication line for indicating a position where the storage rack is attached to and detached from the attachment member may be provided at a bottom portion of the attachment member.
Therefore, when the storage rack is disassembled and assembled relative to the installation component, the storage rack is rotated to the assembly indicating line, reliable disassembly and assembly can be realized, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved.
Further, a rib portion for regulating the height of the article stored in the storage rack may be provided at a front end of the bottom portion of the mounting member.
Thus, when an article is placed on the opened storage rack and rotated to the closed position, the storage rack cannot be closed when the height of the article exceeds the rib provided at the front end of the bottom of the mounting member, and the article is prevented from colliding with other parts of the bottom of the mounting member, such as the engaged part, and being damaged.
In addition, a first fitting portion may be provided at a bottom of the mounting member, a first protruding portion may be provided at a side wall of the storage shelf, and the first protruding portion may be fitted with the first fitting portion when the storage shelf is rotated to a maximum angle with respect to the mounting member.
Therefore, the strength of the storage rack when the storage rack rotates to the maximum angle and the load moment of the storage rack is maximum is ensured by the embedding of the first extending part and the first embedding part, and the storage rack is prevented from falling off from the mounting part due to the fact that stored articles are too heavy.
In addition, a second fitting portion may be provided at a bottom of the mounting member, a second protruding portion may be provided at a side wall of the storage shelf, and the second protruding portion may be engaged with the second fitting portion when the storage shelf is rotated to a closed position with respect to the mounting member.
Therefore, the storage rack can be prevented from being opened under the self-weight when the refrigerator inclines forwards, opens and closes the door body or vibrates by the clamping of the second extending part and the second embedding part. Meanwhile, the strength of the storage rack when the storage rack is in the closed position is ensured, and the storage rack is prevented from falling off from the mounting component due to the fact that stored articles are too heavy.
Further, egg racks may be stored in the storage rack and the upper storage rack.
Therefore, eggs can be stored in the storage rack and the upper storage rack through the egg rack according to the storage condition of a user, and other articles can be stored in the egg rack after the egg rack is taken out.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a storage mechanism 2 provided in a refrigerator door 1 at a closed position. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the storage mechanism 2 provided to the refrigerator door 1 at an open position.
As shown in fig. 1, a storage mechanism 2 (corresponding to a rotary storage mechanism for a refrigerator) is provided on an inner wall 1a side of a refrigerator door 1, and here, the storage mechanism 2 is configured as a double-layered storage rack including an upper storage rack 21 (corresponding to an attachment member) located on an upper layer and a lower storage rack 22 (corresponding to a storage rack) located on a lower layer. When the storage mechanism 2 is in the closed state, the lower storage rack 22 is suspended from the bottom of the upper storage rack 21, so that an upper storage space and a lower storage space are formed.
As shown in fig. 2, a rotation unit 3 is provided between the upper and lower storage shelves 21 and 22, and the lower storage shelf 22 can rotate about an axis l of the rotation unit 3 to be opened or closed with respect to the upper storage shelf 21.
The upper storage rack 21 is detachably provided to the inner wall 1a of the refrigerator door 1 by insertion or the like.
Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the storage mechanism 2. Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing a state where the projection 222 is engaged with the groove 212. The upper and lower storage shelves 21 and 22 are formed of resin or the like.
The upper storage rack 21 is formed of a bottom surface 217 and 4 side surfaces 218 rising from the bottom surface 217, and is formed into a box body having an upper portion opened in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and as shown in fig. 3, fitting portions 219 for fitting to the refrigerator door 1 are formed on a pair of side surfaces where short sides of the rectangular parallelepiped upper storage rack 21 are located, respectively, and when the refrigerator door 1 is mounted, the upper storage rack 21 can be fixedly mounted to the refrigerator door 1 by inserting the pair of fitting portions 219 into corresponding insertion portions (not shown) of the refrigerator door 1.
In the upper storage shelf 21, a surface of the bottom surface 217 on which the articles are placed is referred to as an upper surface of the bottom surface 217, and a surface opposite thereto, that is, a surface of the bottom surface 217 facing outward is referred to as an outer surface of the bottom surface 217.
A columnar boss is formed integrally with the outer surface of the bottom surface 217, the columnar boss is configured as the rotating shaft 211, and a sliding groove 212 (corresponding to the engaged portion) extending in an arc shape around the axial center of the rotating shaft 211 is formed integrally with the outer surface of the bottom surface 217, and as shown in fig. 4, the cross section of the sliding groove 212 is formed in an L shape.
The lower storage rack 22 is formed of a bottom surface 227 and 4 side surfaces 228 rising from the bottom surface 227, and is formed into a box body in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with an upper portion opened.
As shown in fig. 3, the side surfaces 228 include a pair of short side surfaces 228a including short sides and a pair of long side surfaces 228b including long sides, which are substantially opposed to each other in the front-rear direction in fig. 3. A catch groove 221 opening toward the inside of the lower storage rack 22 is integrally formed at the tip end of the end on the side of the long side surface 228b, i.e., the end on the far side in fig. 3, and the catch groove 221 is formed so that the rotary shaft 211 can be caught from the opening and the rotary shaft 211 can be rotated in the recess 221a of the catch groove 221. By engaging the rotation shaft 211 with the engaging groove 221, the lower rack 22 can be supported and suspended below the upper rack 21.
A protrusion 222 (corresponding to an engaging portion) protruding toward the inside of the lower storage shelf 22 is integrally formed at the tip of one end of the other long side surface 228b, i.e., the end closer to the back side in fig. 3, and as shown in fig. 4, the protrusion 222 is formed so that the protrusion 222 can be inserted into the slide groove 212 and slide along the slide groove 212 when the rotation shaft 211 is engaged into the engaging groove 221 and rotated. When the protrusion 222 is inserted into the slide groove 212, as shown in fig. 4, the lower storage rack 22 can be supported and suspended below the upper storage rack 21 by the engagement of the protrusion 222 with the slide groove 212.
The lower storage shelf 22 can be opened or closed with respect to the upper storage shelf 21 by snapping the rotation shaft 211 into the snap groove 221 and inserting the protrusion 222 into the slide groove 212.
A stopper piece 212a (corresponding to a stopper portion) is formed integrally with the slide groove 212 at the opening-side end portion of the slide groove 212, i.e., the front end portion in fig. 3, and this stopper piece 212a abuts against an end portion 222a of the protruding portion 222 when the lower storage shelf 22 is opened to the maximum relative to the upper storage shelf 21, thereby preventing the protruding portion 222 from coming out of the slide groove 212 and further preventing the lower storage shelf 22 from coming out of the upper storage shelf 21.
As shown in fig. 3, a linear portion 215 (corresponding to an assembly indicating line) is formed on an outer surface of the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21, and the linear portion 215 indicates a position where the lower storage shelf 22 is attached to the upper storage shelf 21 and a position where the lower storage shelf is detached from the upper storage shelf 21, and in particular, the following description is given to a method of attaching and detaching the storage mechanism 2.
As shown in fig. 3, a rib 216 is formed integrally with the upper storage shelf 21 at the front end of the outer surface of the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21, and the rib 216 extends along the front end of the bottom surface 217 to regulate the height of the articles stored in the lower storage shelf 22. That is, when an excessively high article is put into the lower storage shelf 22 and the lower storage shelf 22 is closed in a state where the lower storage shelf 22 is opened, the excessively high article collides with the rib 216, thereby preventing the lower storage shelf 22 from being closed with respect to the upper storage shelf 21.
As shown in fig. 3, an engaging portion 214 (corresponding to a first engaging portion) is formed on the outer surface of the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21, and the engaging portion 214 is formed in a sector area formed by the installation position of the rotary shaft 211 and the installation position of the slide groove 212, and is formed in the vicinity of the front end of the bottom surface 217. On the other hand, an extension portion 224 (corresponding to the first extension portion) is provided at the top of the short side 228a of the lower storage shelf 22 near the catch 221 and the protrusion 222, and when the lower storage shelf 22 is rotated to the maximum angle, i.e., opened to the maximum, with respect to the upper storage shelf 21, the extension portion 224 is fitted with the fitting portion 214.
As shown in fig. 3, a fitting portion 213 (corresponding to the second fitting portion) is formed on the outer surface of the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21, and on the other hand, a protruding portion 223 (corresponding to the second protruding portion) is formed on the top of the short side 228a of the lower storage shelf 22 opposite to the short side 228a of the side on which the protruding portion 224 is formed, and when the lower storage shelf 22 is rotated to the closed position with respect to the upper storage shelf 21, the protruding portion 223 is engaged with the fitting portion 213, thereby preventing the lower storage shelf 22 from being easily rotated with respect to the upper storage shelf 21. The locking may be achieved by a convex portion provided on the extension portion 223 and a concave portion provided on the fitting portion 213, but the locking is not limited to this locking method, and other locking methods may be used.
As shown in fig. 5, the upper and lower storage racks 21 and 22 can be used as storage portions for storing eggs by placing the egg racks 23 and 24 in the upper and lower storage racks 21 and 22, respectively.
Next, a method of attaching and detaching the storage mechanism 2 will be described with reference to fig. 3 and the like.
When the mechanism 2 is to be attached, the rotation shaft 211 of the upper storage shelf 21 is first engaged with the engaging groove 221 of the lower storage shelf 22 to allow the upper storage shelf 21 and the lower storage shelf 22 to rotate relative to each other, the lower storage shelf 22 is then rotated relative to the upper storage shelf 21 until the long side surface 228b provided on the engaging groove 221 reaches the position of the linear portion 215 (which coincides with the linear portion 215), the protruding portion 222 of the lower storage shelf 22 is inserted into the sliding groove 212 from the rear end 212b of the sliding groove 212 and slides forward, and finally the integrally attached upper storage shelf 21 and lower storage shelf 22 are inserted into the corresponding inserted portion (not shown) of the refrigerator door 1 through the fitting portion 219 provided on the upper storage shelf 21, thereby completing the attachment of the mechanism 2.
When detaching the storage mechanism 2, the upper storage shelf 21 and the lower storage shelf 22 integrally attached to each other are detached from the refrigerator door 1, the lower storage shelf 22 is rotated in the closing direction with respect to the upper storage shelf 21 until the long side surface 228b provided on the catch groove 221 reaches the position of the linear portion 215, the protrusion 222 of the lower storage shelf 22 is disengaged from the rear end 212b of the slide groove 212, and finally the rotary shaft 211 of the upper storage shelf 21 is disengaged from the recess 221a of the catch groove 221 of the lower storage shelf 22, whereby the upper storage shelf 21 and the lower storage shelf 22 are separated from each other, and the detachment of the storage mechanism 2 is completed.
In a state where the storage mechanism 2 is attached to the refrigerator door 1, when the lower storage rack 22 is rotated to the closed position with respect to the upper storage rack 21, the long side surface 228b provided with the protruding portion 222 approaches the inner wall 1a of the refrigerator door 1, and the protruding portion 223 is locked with the fitting portion 213, so that the lower storage rack 22 is prevented from further rotating toward the inner wall 1a side of the refrigerator door 1, and therefore, in a normal use state, the long side surface 228b provided with the engaging groove 221 reaches the position of the linear portion 215, the protruding portion 222 is prevented from coming out of the sliding groove 212, and the lower storage rack 22 is prevented from coming off the upper storage rack 21.
In addition, since the protruding portion 222 and the engaging groove 221 respectively provided on the two long side surfaces 228b face the inner side of the lower storage shelf 22, that is, the protruding direction of the protruding portion 222 is opposite to the opening direction of the concave portion 221a of the engaging groove 221, when the lower storage shelf 22 is mounted on the upper storage shelf 21 in a normal use, the protruding portion 222 cannot be disengaged from the sliding groove 212 or the rotating shaft 211 cannot be disengaged from the engaging groove 221 when the lower storage shelf 22 is biased in a horizontal direction, and thus the lower storage shelf 22 cannot be disengaged from the upper storage shelf 21 in a state in which the user normally uses the lower storage shelf, and safety is ensured.
In the above embodiment, the protruding portion 222 and the catching groove 221 are both directed toward the inner side of the lower storage shelf 22, but the protruding portion 222 and the catching groove 221 may be both directed toward the outer side of the lower storage shelf 22, and in this case, the protruding direction of the protruding portion 222 is opposite to the opening direction of the recess 221a of the catching groove 221, and the lower storage shelf 22 can be prevented from falling off from the upper storage shelf 21.
In the above embodiment, the lower storage rack 22 is suspended from the upper storage rack 21 in the double-layer storage rack structure and the double-layer storage rack structure is attached to the refrigerator door, but the lower storage rack 22 may be suspended from the bottom of an attachment member provided inside the refrigerator, such as a shelf or a frame provided inside the refrigerator.
In the above embodiment, the rotation shaft 211 is formed on the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21 and the engaging groove 221 is formed on the side surface of the lower storage shelf 22, but the engaging groove may be formed on the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21 and the rotation shaft may be formed on the side surface of the lower storage shelf 22.
In the above embodiment, the sliding groove 212 is formed in the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21 and the protrusion 222 is formed in the side surface of the lower storage shelf 22, but the protrusion may be formed in the bottom surface 217 of the upper storage shelf 21 and the sliding groove may be formed in the side surface of the lower storage shelf 22, and in this case, for example, it is conceivable that the lower storage shelf 22 is formed in a semicircular shape in plan view and the sliding groove is formed along the arc-shaped side surface.
Next, effects of the rotary type storing mechanism for a refrigerator according to the present invention will be described.
The lower storage rack 22 can be opened or closed to rotate about the rotation shaft 211 by a rotation unit including the rotation shaft 211 and the engaging groove 221 provided in each of the upper storage rack 21 and the lower storage rack 22, and an engaging unit including the sliding groove 212 and the protruding portion 222 provided in each of the upper storage rack 21 and the lower storage rack 22. Further, the lower storage rack 22 can be easily attached to the upper storage rack 21 by inserting the rotary shaft 211 from the opening of the catch groove 221, that is, the recess 221a, to be caught in the catch groove 221, and then rotating the lower storage rack 22 around the rotary shaft 211 to the position indicated by the linear portion 215 to catch the protrusion 222 in the slide groove 212.
Further, since the rotary shaft 211 and the sliding groove 212 are integrally formed at the bottom 217 of the upper storage shelf 21 and the catching groove 221 and the protrusion 222 are integrally formed at the side wall, i.e., the side surface of the lower storage shelf 22, the rotary-type storage mechanism for a refrigerator can be realized only by two components of the upper storage shelf 21 and the lower storage shelf 22, and thus the number of parts is greatly reduced and the cost can be reduced.
Further, by forming the slide groove 212 in an arc shape in plan view and in an L-shaped cross section, the protruding portion 222 protrudes laterally from the side wall of the lower storage rack 22, the protruding portion 222 can be reliably engaged with the slide groove 212, and when the lower storage rack 22 is opened or closed, the protruding portion 222 can be smoothly slid along the arc-shaped slide groove 212, and the lower storage rack 22 can be reliably supported.
Further, the rotary type storage mechanism for a refrigerator is constructed as a storage rack of upper and lower stories, relatively large articles or articles having a high height can be stored by opening the opening of the upper storage rack 21, the lower storage rack 22 can be rotatably opened and closed, small articles can be stored to make full use of a storage space, and when the lower storage rack 22 is closed, the lower storage rack 22 can be sealed by the bottom of the upper storage rack 21, that is, the bottom surface 217, to improve freshness preservation. In addition, the number of parts is small, so that the cost is greatly reduced.
Further, by providing the stopper 212a at the front end of the slide groove 212, when the lower rack 22 rotates to reach the maximum open position, the protrusion 222 abuts against the stopper 212a and cannot rotate any further, thereby preventing the lower rack 22 from being separated from the upper rack 21.
Further, since the linear portion 215 for indicating the position where the lower storage shelf 22 is attached to and detached from the upper storage shelf 21 is provided on the bottom portion, i.e., the bottom surface 217, of the upper storage shelf 21, when the lower storage shelf 22 is attached to and detached from the upper storage shelf 21, the lower storage shelf 22 is rotated to the linear portion 215, thereby realizing reliable attachment and detachment and improving the efficiency of attachment and detachment.
Further, since the rib 216 for regulating the height of the article stored in the lower storage shelf 22 is provided at the bottom of the upper storage shelf 21, that is, the front end of the bottom surface 217, when the article is placed on the opened lower storage shelf 22 and rotated to the closed position, the lower storage shelf 22 cannot be closed when the height of the article exceeds the rib 216 provided at the front end of the bottom of the upper storage shelf 21, and thus the article is prevented from colliding with other parts of the bottom of the upper storage shelf 21, such as the sliding groove 212, and being damaged.
Further, by providing the fitting portion 214 at the bottom portion, i.e., the bottom surface 217, of the upper storage shelf 21 and providing the protruding portion 224 at the side wall, i.e., the side surface 228, of the lower storage shelf 22, the protruding portion 224 is fitted to the fitting portion 214 when the lower storage shelf 22 is rotated at the maximum angle with respect to the upper storage shelf 21, thereby securing the strength of the lower storage shelf 22 when the load moment of the lower storage shelf 22 is maximized when the lower storage shelf 22 is rotated at the maximum angle, and preventing the lower storage shelf 22 from falling off from the upper storage shelf 21 due to the excessive weight of stored articles.
Further, by providing the fitting portion 213 on the bottom portion, i.e., the bottom surface 217, of the upper rack 21 and providing the protruding portion 223 on the side wall, i.e., the side surface 228, of the lower rack 22, the protruding portion 223 is locked with the fitting portion 213 when the lower rack 22 is rotated to the closed position with respect to the upper rack 21, thereby preventing the lower rack 22 from being opened by its own weight when the refrigerator is tilted forward, when the door is opened or closed, or when there is vibration. Meanwhile, the strength of the lower storage shelf 22 when the lower storage shelf 22 is in the closed position is secured, preventing the lower storage shelf 22 from falling off from the upper storage shelf 21 due to the excessive weight of stored articles.
Further, by storing the egg shelves 24 and the egg shelves 23 in the lower storage shelf 22 and the upper storage shelf 21, respectively, it is possible to store eggs in the lower storage shelf 22 and the upper storage shelf 21 through the egg shelves 24 and the egg shelves 23 according to the storage situation of the user, and to take out the egg shelves 24 and the egg shelves 23 and store other articles.
In the above embodiment, the sliding groove 212 is formed as a groove having an L-shaped cross section, but may be formed as a groove having another cross section as long as the protrusion 222 can be inserted and slid.
In the above embodiment, the stopper 212a and the linear portion 215 are formed in the upper storage shelf 21, and the fitting portion 213 and the protruding portion 223, and the fitting portion 214 and the protruding portion 224 are formed in the upper storage shelf 21 and the lower storage shelf 22, respectively, but the above portions may not be formed or only a part thereof may be formed in the upper storage shelf 21 and the lower storage shelf 22.
As described above, although the embodiment of the present invention has been described, the embodiment is shown as an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The new embodiment can be implemented in other various forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The embodiment and its modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the scope equivalent thereto.
