Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a small door. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a refrigerator provided with a small door 2 on a door 1 of a refrigerator compartment as shown in FIG. 5, for example, is provided. The small door 2 opens and closes a part of the refrigerator compartment door 1, and a row of pockets 3 is provided inside the small door 2. Therefore, in this case, by storing the frequently used articles 4 in the pocket portion 3 of the small door 2, it is possible to open only the small door 2 without opening the refrigerator compartment door 1. Frequently used storage items 4 can be taken in and out, so that leakage of cool air in the storage 5 can be reduced, which is effective for energy saving. [0005] In contrast to the above-mentioned pockets 3 provided in a row inside the small door 2, especially in a large-capacity refrigerator, as shown in FIG. Are provided in a plurality of rows 6a and 6b in the depth direction of the storage. In this embodiment, when the small door 2 is closed, the pocket portion 3 of the small door 2 is substantially the same as the outermost row (the lower side in FIG. 6) 6a of the pocket portion 6 of the refrigerator compartment door 1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7,
When the small door 2 is opened, the pocket portion 3 of the small door 2 is taken out, but the inner row 6b of the pocket portion 6 of the refrigerator compartment door 1 remains, as shown in FIG. 5 remains shut off. [0004] Therefore, even if the small door 2 is opened to try to put in or out the storage items 7 in the refrigerator 5, it cannot be prevented by the pockets 6 b in the remaining inner row of the refrigerator compartment door 1. Was. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator in which a small door can be easily opened and stored goods can be easily taken in and out. [0005] In order to achieve the above object, a refrigerator according to the present invention is provided with a door having a plurality of rows of pockets on the inner side in the depth direction of the refrigerator, and a part of the door is opened and closed. In the case where a small door is provided, pockets are provided inside the small door in the same number of rows in the same direction as the pocket of the door, and the pockets in all the rows can be taken out with opening of the small door. It is characterized by doing so. According to this structure, when the small door is opened, the pockets of the small doors provided in the same number of rows in the same direction as the pockets of the door are fully exposed, so that the inside of the compartment is shut off. There will be no more items to be stored, and it will be possible to insert and remove hands from the open portion to access the stored items in the storage. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 2 shows a main body cabinet 11 of a refrigerator, and a refrigerator compartment door 12, a vegetable compartment door 13, an ice making compartment door 14, a switching compartment door 15, and a freezing compartment door 16 which are provided to be openable and closable. Of these, the refrigerator compartment door 12 is a pivotable type that opens rightward or leftward, but the other doors 13 to 16 are drawer-type, and each integrally has a drawer container (not shown) on the back side. , Are moved back and forth together with the drawer container to be opened and closed. As shown in FIG. 1, the largest one of the doors 12 to 16 has a small door 1 as shown in FIG.
7 is provided so as to be openable and closable. Specifically, the opening 18 is formed in a central portion of a lower portion which is a part of the refrigerator compartment door 12,
A small door 17 is pivotally supported on the right side edge of the opening 18 so that the small door 17 opens and closes the opening 18 by a right-handed rotary mechanism. Note that the small door 17 may be opened leftward, particularly when the refrigerator compartment door 12 is opened leftward. Inside the small door 17, pocket portions 19 are provided in a plurality of rows, in this case, two rows of 19a and 19b. Reference numeral 20 denotes stored items stored in the pocket portions 19, respectively. Reference numeral 21 denotes a stored product placed on a shelf 23 in a refrigerator 22 which is a refrigerator. On the other hand, inside the refrigerator compartment door 12,
As shown in FIG. 3, the pocket portions 24 are provided in a plurality of rows, in this case, two rows of 24a and 24b. The number of the rows 24a, 24b of the pockets 24 of the refrigerator compartment door 12 is the same as the number of the rows 19a, 19b of the pockets 19 of the small door 17, and the arrangement of the rows is the same in the depth direction of the refrigerator. It is. Therefore, the pocket 19 of the small door 17
Are provided in the same number of rows in the same direction as the pocket portion 24 of the refrigerator compartment door 12, and when the small door 17 is closed, the small door 1
7 are located so as to divide the pocket portion 24 of the refrigerator compartment door 12, and a row 19 of the pocket portions 19 are provided.
a and 19b are rows 24 of the pockets 24 of the refrigerator compartment door 12.
a and 24b are substantially the same as each other. In addition, 25 has shown the storage goods stored in the pocket part 24 of the refrigerator compartment door 12, respectively. Next, the operation of the above-mentioned construction will be described. FIGS. 1 and 4 show the small door 17 with the refrigerator compartment door 12 closed.
Is open. Here, by storing the frequently used storage items 20 in the pocket portion 19 of the small door 17, it is possible to store only the small door 17 and open the frequently used storage without opening the refrigerator compartment door 12. The product 20 can be put in and taken out, thereby reducing the leakage of cool air in the refrigerator, which is effective for energy saving. This point is the same as the conventional one, and the following points are different from the conventional one. That is, in the case of this configuration, the small door 17
Is opened, all the pockets 19 of the small doors 17 provided in the same number of rows in the same direction as the pockets 24 of the refrigerator compartment door 12 are exposed. As a result, there is no obstruction to block the inside of the refrigerator, and the user can easily insert and remove the storage item 21 in the refrigerator by inserting his hand through the opened opening 18. The small door 17 may be provided on a door other than the refrigerator compartment door 12, such as a relatively large vegetable compartment door 13 or a freezer compartment door 16. Further, the pocket portion of the door and the pocket portion 24 of the small door 17 may be provided in more than two rows. Further, the small door 17 may be provided in a drawer type instead of a pivotable type, particularly when the door is of a drawer type. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications without departing from the scope of the invention. [0015] As described above, according to the refrigerator of the present invention, the same number of pockets in the same direction as the pockets inside the door are provided inside the small door that opens and closes a part of the door. By providing a plurality of rows, all rows of pockets can be taken out with the opening of the small door, not only to save energy, but also to open the small door and put in and out the stored goods in the warehouse. This can be easily achieved.
