First, in order to keep the cork of the wine bottle 6 in a plurality of wine shelves 5 installed in the refrigerator 4 always in a wet state and to prevent drying, the cork side is inclined horizontally or at a certain angle so that the cork side becomes lower, and the wine shelf 5 A stopper 7 is attached to the front part to prevent the bottle from falling. In addition, the bottom of the wine bottle 6 is in the receiving state.
The wine bottle was housed by partially opening the lower surface of the camera or by placing it between two wires by a wire net method.

[0008]

However, conventional wine shelves have a structure in which only a hole corresponding to a part of the wine bottle 6 is provided on the flat bottom surface, or a hand is placed around the wire shelf to place it between wires. There is not enough space to enter, and it is difficult to hold the wine bottle 6 when it is pulled out after getting over the stopper, the bottles are likely to come into contact with each other, and there is a problem that the wine gives vibrations that it dislikes.

Further, if the humidifier is excessively humidified in order to prevent the cork from drying, there is a problem in that the label absorbs moisture and is easily peeled off, and mold is liable to be generated, thereby deteriorating wine quality.

Also, there is only a hole corresponding to a part of the bottle on the flat bottom, and when the wine bottle 6 is placed, the spaces between the shelves are closed, and the circulation of the cool air is poor. Outlet (upper), Inlet (lower) and shelf (middle)
The temperature difference in the refrigerator becomes 2 ° C. or more, which has a problem of adversely affecting the storage of wine in the middle tier.

Further, since the bottle is a bottle shelf, when taking out wine, there is a problem that the bottle or the shelf is slid forward and falls, resulting in a very dangerous state.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention prevents bottles from contacting each other on shelves in a refrigerator, suppresses label peeling and mold growth, and minimizes differences in temperature distribution between shelves in the refrigerator. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wine storage that can prevent the shelves from dropping, and provide a sense of stability when placing wine.

[0013]

To achieve this object, a wine storage according to the present invention comprises an inner box having shelf receiving rails at both ends, and a wine shelf mounted on the shelf receiving rail. The wine shelf connects the curved portions along the wine bottle surface and the curved portions at predetermined intervals.

The wine shelf has a curved portion along the wine bottle surface and a flat portion for locking the curved portions, and a cool air convection hole is provided in the flat portion.

[0015] Thereby, the wine can be stored in a good condition. Also, an inner box with shelf support rails at both ends,
The wine shelf is configured by a wine shelf mounted on the shelf receiving rail, a flange portion is provided on a back portion of the wine shelf, and a hook portion to be locked from a partition wall is configured.

Further, the wine shelf contains an antibacterial agent.

[0017]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Since a shelf has a curved surface along the surface of a wine bottle and a predetermined interval is provided between the bottles,
It can be placed and can store wine in good condition.

Further, since the curved portion along the wine bottle is formed, the label does not peel off during humidification, and the shelf contains an antibacterial agent. Reproduction can be suppressed.

Further, since a flat portion is provided in an adjacent portion constituting the curved portion and the ventilation hole is provided, the temperature difference between the upper, middle and lower stages of the shelf can be suppressed to 1 ° C. or less.

In addition, since a flange is provided on the back surface of the shelf and locked by a hook from the back surface, it is possible to prevent the shelf from sliding forward and dropping when the bottle placed on the shelf is taken out.
