以下、添付図面を参照して、サイドバイサイド（ＳＩＤＥ ＢＹ ＳＩＤＥ）タイプの冷蔵庫を第１実施形態として本発明について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, a side-by-side (SIDE BY SIDE) type refrigerator will be described in detail as a first embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

説明に先立って、いろいろな実施形態において、同一な構成を有する構成要素については同一な符号を使用して代表的に第１実施形態で説明し、その他の実施形態では第１実施形態と異なる構成についてのみ説明する。   Prior to the description, in various embodiments, components having the same configuration are typically described in the first embodiment using the same reference numerals, and other embodiments are configured differently from the first embodiment. Only will be described.

図１乃至図４に示されているように、本発明の第１実施形態による冷蔵庫１は、隔壁（図示せず）によって冷凍室（図示せず）及び冷蔵室（図示せず）が左右に区画された本体キャビネット１０と、本体キャビネット１０の前面に回動可能に設置され冷蔵室及び冷凍室を各々開閉する冷蔵室ドア１１及び冷凍室ドア１３を含む。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a freezer compartment (not shown) and a refrigerator compartment (not shown) left and right by a partition wall (not shown). A partitioned main body cabinet 10 and a freezer compartment door 11 and a freezer compartment door 13 that are rotatably installed on the front surface of the main cabinet 10 and open and close the freezer compartment and the freezer compartment, respectively.

各ドア１３、１１の前面には各ドア１３、１１を把持する取っ手部材１５、２０が設けられている。ここで、取っ手部材１５、２０は冷凍室ドア１３及び冷蔵室ドア１１に各々設けられているが、説明の便宜上、冷蔵室ドア１１の取っ手部材２０のみを説明する。   Handle members 15 and 20 for holding the doors 13 and 11 are provided on the front surfaces of the doors 13 and 11, respectively. Here, although the handle members 15 and 20 are provided in the freezer compartment door 13 and the refrigerator compartment door 11, respectively, only the handle member 20 of the refrigerator compartment door 11 is demonstrated for convenience of explanation.

冷蔵室ドア１１の右側上下部にはヒンジ部１２が設けられ、左側前面部には取っ手部材２０が長さ方向に設けられている。したがって、使用者は取っ手部材２０を握って冷蔵室ドア１１をヒンジ部１２を中心に回動させて開閉することができる。   A hinge part 12 is provided on the upper right side of the refrigerator compartment door 11, and a handle member 20 is provided in the length direction on the left front part. Therefore, the user can open and close by opening the refrigerator compartment door 11 around the hinge portion 12 by grasping the handle member 20.

取っ手部材２０は、使用者が把持して回転させる取っ手部２１と、取っ手部２１の両側に設けられて取っ手部２１を冷蔵室ドア１１に対して支持する複数の支持部２２、２７と、複数の支持部２２、２７のうちの少なくとも一つに設けられて取っ手部２１を復元可能に回動させる回動部３０とを含む。   The handle member 20 includes a handle portion 21 that is gripped and rotated by a user, a plurality of support portions 22 and 27 that are provided on both sides of the handle portion 21 and support the handle portion 21 with respect to the refrigerator compartment door 11, And a rotating portion 30 provided on at least one of the support portions 22 and 27 for reversibly rotating the handle portion 21.

取っ手部２１及び支持部２２、２７は冷蔵室ドア１１の前面に長さ方向に設置され、取っ手部２１の両端には回動軸３１ａ、３１ｂが突出形成されている。これによって、取っ手部２１は回動軸３１ａ、３１ｂを中心に支持部２２、２７に対して回動できる。   The handle portion 21 and the support portions 22 and 27 are installed in the length direction on the front surface of the refrigerator compartment door 11, and rotating shafts 31 a and 31 b are formed to protrude at both ends of the handle portion 21. Thereby, the handle part 21 can be rotated with respect to the support parts 22 and 27 around the rotation shafts 31a and 31b.

回動軸３１ａ、３１ｂは取っ手部２１の中心軸線と同一軸線上に位置するのが好ましい。これによって、取っ手部２１が回動軸３１ａ、３１ｂを中心に回動するための回動力が支持部２２、２７に均等に分散されるので、支持部２２、２７の一領域にのみ応力が集中することを防止することができる。   The pivot shafts 31 a and 31 b are preferably located on the same axis as the center axis of the handle portion 21. As a result, the rotational force for rotating the handle portion 21 around the rotation shafts 31 a and 31 b is evenly distributed to the support portions 22 and 27, so that stress is concentrated only in one region of the support portions 22 and 27. Can be prevented.

支持部は、取っ手部２１の上端を支持する第１支持部２２と、取っ手部２１の下端を支持する第２支持部２７とを含む。   The support portion includes a first support portion 22 that supports the upper end of the handle portion 21 and a second support portion 27 that supports the lower end of the handle portion 21.

第１支持部２２は、冷蔵室ドア１１の上部前面に結合される支持バー２４と、支持バー２４と垂直方向に延長されて取っ手部２１の上端に結合される連結部２５とを含む。   The first support part 22 includes a support bar 24 coupled to the upper front surface of the refrigerator compartment door 11 and a connecting part 25 that extends in a direction perpendicular to the support bar 24 and is coupled to the upper end of the handle part 21.

第２支持部２７はその構成が第１支持部２２と同一であり、冷蔵室ドア１１の下部前面に結合される支持バー２６と、支持バー２６と垂直方向に延長されて取っ手部２１の下端に結合される連結部２３とを含む。   The structure of the second support part 27 is the same as that of the first support part 22, a support bar 26 coupled to the lower front surface of the refrigerator compartment door 11, and a lower end of the handle part 21 extending in a direction perpendicular to the support bar 26. And a connecting portion 23 coupled to the.

ここで、連結部２３、２５は冷蔵室ドア１１に結合されるように設置されるのが好ましい。これによって、連結部２３、２５が冷蔵室ドア１１に支持されることにより、取っ手部２１の回動によって発生する応力が冷蔵室ドア１１に分散されるので、連結部２３、２５が損傷されることを防止することができる。   Here, the connecting portions 23 and 25 are preferably installed so as to be coupled to the refrigerator compartment door 11. As a result, since the connecting portions 23 and 25 are supported by the refrigerator compartment door 11, stress generated by the rotation of the handle portion 21 is distributed to the refrigerator compartment door 11, so that the connecting portions 23 and 25 are damaged. This can be prevented.

回動部３０は第１支持部２２および第２支持部２７の全てに設けられることができるが、本発明の実施形態では第１支持部２２に設けられた場合のみを説明する。   Although the rotation part 30 can be provided in all of the 1st support part 22 and the 2nd support part 27, only the case where it provides in the 1st support part 22 is demonstrated in embodiment of this invention.

回動部３０は第１支持部２２の連結部２５に収容可能に設けられ、取っ手部２１に設けられた回動軸３１ａと、回動軸３１ａ及び第１支持部２２に結合されて取っ手部２１の回動に対する復元力を提供する弾性部材３２とを含む。この時、第１支持部２２の連結部２５には回動軸３１ａ及び弾性部材３２が収容される凹部２５ａが設けられており、回動軸３１ａは取っ手部２１の中心軸線と同一な軸線を有する。   The rotating portion 30 is provided so as to be accommodated in the connecting portion 25 of the first support portion 22, and is connected to the rotating shaft 31 a provided in the handle portion 21, the rotating shaft 31 a and the first support portion 22, and the handle portion. And an elastic member 32 that provides a restoring force with respect to the rotation of 21. At this time, the connecting portion 25 of the first support portion 22 is provided with a recess 25a in which the rotating shaft 31a and the elastic member 32 are accommodated, and the rotating shaft 31a has the same axis as the central axis of the handle portion 21. Have.

ここで、回動部３０の回動軸３１ａは取っ手部２１に突出設置されているが、第１支持部２２に突出設置されることができることはもちろんである。このような場合、弾性部材３２は回動軸３１ａ及び取っ手部２１に結合されるのが好ましい。   Here, the rotation shaft 31 a of the rotation unit 30 is provided so as to protrude from the handle portion 21, but it is needless to say that the rotation shaft 31 a can be provided to protrude from the first support portion 22. In such a case, the elastic member 32 is preferably coupled to the rotating shaft 31a and the handle portion 21.

弾性部材３２は一端が取っ手部２１の上端に結合され他端が第１支持部２２の連結部２５に結合されるねじれコイルスプリングで設けられることが好ましいが、ゴムなどのような弾性材質で設けられることができることはもちろんである。これによって、使用者が冷蔵室ドア１１を開放するために取っ手部２１を前方に引いてから回動させると、この時ねじれコイルスプリング３２は取っ手部２１に対して復元力が発生し、使用者が取っ手部２１から力を除去すると、ねじれコイルスプリング３２の復元力によって取っ手部２１は回動反対方向に回動して元位置に戻ることができる。   The elastic member 32 is preferably provided with a torsion coil spring having one end coupled to the upper end of the handle portion 21 and the other end coupled to the connecting portion 25 of the first support portion 22, but is provided with an elastic material such as rubber. Of course it can be done. Accordingly, when the user pulls the handle portion 21 forward and rotates it to open the refrigerator compartment door 11, the torsion coil spring 32 generates a restoring force with respect to the handle portion 21 at this time. When the force is removed from the handle portion 21, the handle portion 21 can be rotated in the opposite direction by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 32 to return to the original position.

ここで、回動部３０は回動軸３１ａと相互作用して取っ手部２１が復元される時に衝撃を緩和させるダンパー３３をさらに含むのが好ましい。この時、弾性部材３２は回動軸３１ａ及びダンパー３３と公知の方式で相互作用する。   Here, it is preferable that the rotating part 30 further includes a damper 33 that reduces the impact when the handle part 21 is restored by interacting with the rotating shaft 31a. At this time, the elastic member 32 interacts with the rotating shaft 31a and the damper 33 in a known manner.

ダンパー３３は回動軸３１ａの他端に結合されて連結部２５に収容され、回動軸３１ａの回転力によって作動するオイルダンパーで設けられる。これによって、ダンパー３３は取っ手部２１がねじれコイルスプリング３２の復元力によって復元される時に回動力を減殺させてスムースに元位置に回動可能にして使用上の便宜性を向上させることができる。   The damper 33 is coupled to the other end of the rotating shaft 31a, is accommodated in the connecting portion 25, and is provided with an oil damper that is operated by the rotational force of the rotating shaft 31a. Accordingly, the damper 33 can reduce the rotational force when the handle portion 21 is restored by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 32, and can be smoothly rotated to the original position, thereby improving the convenience of use.

このような構成によって、本発明の第１実施形態による冷蔵庫１の取っ手部２１が回動する過程を具体的に見てみると次の通りである。   A specific example of the turning process of the handle portion 21 of the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention as described above is as follows.

まず、使用者が冷蔵室ドア１１を開放するために取っ手部２１を握って前方に引いてから左側方向に回動させると、回動軸３１ａ、３１ｂは取っ手部２１の回動方向と同一に回動する。この時、ねじれコイルスプリング３２は取っ手部２１の回動反対方向に復元力が発生する。その後、使用者が取っ手部２１から手を放すと、取っ手部２１はねじれコイルスプリング３２の復元力によって元位置に戻る。この時、ダンパー３３は回動軸３１ａと連動して取っ手部２１がスムースに回動するように作動する。これによって、使用者が冷蔵室ドア１１を開放する時に取っ手部２１が回動可能なので使用者の手首が折れ変形が起こることを減らすことができる。   First, when the user grips the handle 21 and pulls it forward in order to open the refrigerator compartment door 11 and rotates it leftward, the rotation shafts 31 a and 31 b are the same as the rotation direction of the handle 21. Rotate. At this time, the torsion coil spring 32 generates a restoring force in the direction opposite to the rotation of the handle portion 21. Thereafter, when the user releases the hand from the handle portion 21, the handle portion 21 returns to the original position by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 32. At this time, the damper 33 operates so as to smoothly rotate the handle portion 21 in conjunction with the rotation shaft 31a. As a result, the handle 21 can be rotated when the user opens the refrigerator compartment door 11, so that the user's wrist can be prevented from being bent and deformed.

本発明の第２実施形態による冷蔵庫は第１実施形態の冷蔵庫の回動部３０と構成に差がある。図５に示されているように、本発明の第２実施形態による冷蔵庫の回動部２３０は取っ手部２１と一体に回転するピニオン２３１と、第１支持部２２に設けられピニオン２３１と噛み合ってピニオン２３１の回動によって弾性的にスライディング移動するラック２３２とを含む。   The refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention is different in configuration from the rotating unit 30 of the refrigerator of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotating part 230 of the refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention is engaged with the pinion 231 that rotates integrally with the handle part 21 and the pinion 231 provided on the first support part 22. And a rack 232 that slides elastically by the rotation of the pinion 231.

ピニオン２３１はのこぎり歯形状に設けられ、回動軸３１ａと結合されて取っ手部２１と一体に回動する。   The pinion 231 is provided in a sawtooth shape, and is coupled to the rotation shaft 31 a and rotates integrally with the handle portion 21.

ラック２３２は第１支持部２２の連結部２５に収容され、ピニオン２３１と噛み合うように設けられる。したがって、使用者が取っ手部２１を回動させると、ピニオン２３１は取っ手部２１の回動方向に回動し、ラック２３２はピニオン２３１の回転運動が直線運動に変換されてスライディング移動する。   The rack 232 is accommodated in the connecting portion 25 of the first support portion 22 and is provided so as to mesh with the pinion 231. Therefore, when the user rotates the handle portion 21, the pinion 231 rotates in the rotation direction of the handle portion 21, and the rack 232 slides by converting the rotational motion of the pinion 231 into a linear motion.

また、回動部２３０は第１支持部２２に設けられてラック２３２に対して復元力を提供する弾性部材２３３をさらに含むのが好ましい。ここで、弾性部材２３３はスプリングで設けられることが好ましいが、ゴムなどのような弾性材質で設けられることができることはもちろんである。   In addition, it is preferable that the rotating unit 230 further includes an elastic member 233 provided on the first support unit 22 and providing a restoring force to the rack 232. Here, the elastic member 233 is preferably provided by a spring, but can be provided by an elastic material such as rubber.

このような構成によって、本発明の第２実施形態による冷蔵庫１の取っ手部２１が回動する過程を図６ａ及び図６ｂを参照して具体的に見てみると次の通りである。   The process of turning the handle portion 21 of the refrigerator 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B.
