Description

  The present invention relates to a refrigerator provided with a shelf device that rotates a shelf of a storage room as needed and stores it in the back.

  To store a large number of foods of different sizes in the refrigerator, the inside of the storage room is divided into multiple stages with shelves, and when storing large items, there is a shelf device that can store the shelf in the back. It is increasingly used.

  For example, a description will be given based on a cross-sectional view of a storage compartment of a conventional refrigerator shown in FIG. 6 and a rotational shape and a peripheral structure of a telescopic shelf in the conventional refrigerator shown in FIG.

  Reference numeral 1 denotes a box body, which is composed of an inner box 1a, an outer box 1b, and a rear heat insulating material 1c to form a basic heat insulating box, and a fan 2 and a cooler are located above the inner side of the rear heat insulating material 1c. 3 is provided, and in the vertical direction, a forward passage 5a and a return passage 5b for cold air ventilation are provided. A decorative board 4 that covers the device is attached to the front.

  The decorative panel 4 is located in the back of the cabinet and has a partial recess 6 below the small amount of equipment storage, and the front side of the wide wall above and the extension line A of the wall is substantially food storage. It is a space that can be made and is the main part of the storage room 7.

  Inside the storage chamber 7, an accessory storage case 8 and an ice-making water supply bottle (not shown) surrounded by a resin plate are installed on the bottom, and an extendable shelf 9, a shelf plate 10, and a shelf plate 11 are arranged above the storage case 7. The storage area is divided into a total of five levels.

  The telescopic shelf 9 is positioned substantially in front of the bent portion that forms the recess of the decorative plate 4, and after the front shelf 9a is accommodated in the rear shelf 9b as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. It is configured to be able to turn up around the support shaft 9c of the shelf 9b and rise up to the decorative plate 4 side.

  The shelf board 10 and the shelf board 11 can be directly moved to the spare selection shelf holder 12 to adjust the distance between the shelves in the vertical direction. A door 13 is attached in front of the box body 1.

JP 2004-116844 A

  However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the support shaft 9c is substantially in the middle of the rear shelf 9b in the front-rear direction, and when the retractable shelf 9 is contracted and rotated about the support shaft 9c, the support shaft 9c rises from the front end 9d. As shown in FIG. 7, when the telescopic shelf 9 is raised to a vertical position as shown by a broken line, the distance P between the support shaft 9c from the upper surface of the rear shelf 9b cannot be made large. In other words, it is configured to stay in the food storage space and narrow the food storage space. Moreover, it will fall down if it is as it is.

  In order to prevent toppling, the rear end 9e side (the lower end in the figure) is the storage space when the telescopic shelf 9 is further tilted and leans against the decorative board 4 as shown by the one-dot chain line. There is a problem that the food storage space is narrowed due to intrusion into the wall (position (dimension s) of 50 to 90 mm from the wall surface of the recessed portion behind the shelf).

  That is, the recess 6 in the rear wall is useful in that the rear end 9e of the telescopic shelf can be rotated, but when the telescopic shelf 9 is set up and used, a useless space that cannot store food is used. Was to be composed.

  In addition, since the holding means for the storage state is not provided, the lower end of the shelf is pushed in the loading / unloading operation of the food, causing reverse rotation about the support shaft 9c, and the upper end of the shelf may hit a hand or food.

  However, since the dimension that enters the storage space is determined by the distance m between the support shaft 9c of the telescopic shelf and the rear end 9e, the distance m can be reduced by moving the support shaft 9c toward the rear end 9e and reducing the distance m. Although the rotation trajectory of 9e can also be reduced, in this case, the extendable shelf 9 may come into contact with the wall surface 4 without the depression of the decorative plate 4 and fall in a nearly vertical state and fall down. Further, since the distance n between the other support shaft 9c and the front end 9d becomes large, the front end 9d side hits the upper shelf 11 during the rise and cannot be smoothly rotated and moved, and the space between the shelves cannot be narrowed. Will arise. Due to the above problems, the support shaft 9c point of the extendable shelf has to be selected as the midpoint of the rear shelf 9e in the front-rear direction.

  Further, when the telescopic shelf 9 is rotated without changing the center of the support shaft 9c, the rear end 9e protrudes later, so that a recess is formed to escape the rear end 9e, and the rear end 9e of the free shelf and the rear end Although there was a spatial distance between the walls, food sometimes dropped from this space. In addition to the escape action, the recess 6 is no longer an effective space when the shelf is raised.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has been made to provide a refrigerator that can solve the following problems (1) to (6).
(1) The storage of the shelf should be a place that does not disturb food storage. At the same time, it is possible to move to a predetermined position by a simple operation and hold it in that place.
(2) It is easy to arrange the storage space for the shelf.
(3) When storing shelves, the rotating volume of the shelves should be small and not hit the adjacent shelves during movement. Also, the storage space must be small.
(4) The movement for shelf storage is smooth and can be easily moved to a predetermined position, and the food is not damaged by the movement.
(5) Keep the shelves in a substantially vertical position and maintain that state during storage.
(6) Minimize the space for storing the shelf and, at the same time, the shelf does not hit the inner wall of the storage room by the turning operation.

  Means for solving the first problem include a shelf storage space portion that is formed by being recessed toward the heat insulating material from the storage reference surface at the back of the cabinet, and a guide located at the lower end of the space portion and in the space. The shelf is composed of a horizontal portion, a guide slope that guides the shelf from the normal position to the guide horizontal portion, and a shelf that is provided on both sides of the shelf lower surface and has a spindle that slides on the guide slope portion. It is configured to be held in the shelf storage space.

  Further, the means for solving the second problem is that the storage reference surface of the inner back portion of the first means is constituted by a decorative plate provided on the front surface of the inner box, and the shelf storing space portion is provided on the decorative plate. Is formed.

  Further, the means for solving the third problem is that the shelf of the first means is composed of a front shelf and a rear shelf, the front shelf can be moved into the rear shelf, and the front shelf is used as the rear shelf. In the housed state, the support shaft of the rear shelf is rotated so that the rear shelf can be housed in the shelf housing space.

  Further, the means for solving the fourth problem is that the rail of the first means is constituted by the front shelf and the rear shelf, and the rail provided on the side wall of the inner box that guides the support shaft of the rear shelf, In the state where the front shelf is stored in the rear shelf, the rear shelf is formed continuously with the guide slope for guiding the shelf to the shelf storage space.

  The means of the present invention for solving the fifth problem comprises that the shelf of the first means is constituted by a front shelf and a rear shelf, and the rear shelf is stored in the shelf while the front shelf is stored in the rear shelf. A holding mechanism for holding the space substantially vertically in the space for use is provided in the space for storing the shelf or in the vicinity thereof.

  Further, the means of the present invention for solving the sixth problem is that in the first means, when the shelf is rotated around the support shaft, the shelf abuts against the space wall and the rotation stops. The escape portion to be prevented is provided on the wall surface of the shelf storage space or the bearing that supports the support shaft.

  According to the structure of claim 1, when storing and placing in a warehouse without using a shelf, sliding is performed along a guide slope that pushes the shelf backward, and the lower end of the shelf is automatically placed in the shelf storage space. It enters a predetermined position and is held in the space.

  Therefore, it is possible to provide a refrigerator whose shelf does not interfere with food storage.

  Moreover, since the hollow part which makes the shelf storage space was provided in the decorative board side of the inner box by the structure of Claim 2, the shelf storage space part can be shape | molded easily. On the other hand, if it is provided on the inner box side, there are troublesome problems such as simplification of employment for foaming of the heat insulating material and attachment of parts to the heat insulating material due to the configuration of the recess, but this can be eliminated by providing it on the decorative board side. it can.

  Further, according to the configuration of claim 3, since the front shelf and the rear shelf are integrated into a small shelf whose shelf width is reduced to approximately half, the rotational volume of the rotation start-up is small, and the distance from the upper shelf is reduced. Will be removed. Therefore, the dimension between shelves can be narrowed. Also, the shelf storage space is small and easy to arrange. In addition to easy handling, the shelf that has entered the shelf storage space can be held using either the front shelf or the rear shelf with simple holding means.

  According to the configuration of the fourth aspect, since the rail and the guide slope are continuously formed, a posture toward the shelf storage space can be obtained while smoothly moving the shelf. At this time, since the front shelf and the rear shelf are integrated in a small size and guided by the guide slope, the front end (23aa) of the shelf collides with the upper shelf (22) and damages food. There is no.

  According to the structure of claim 5, since the shelves are gathered into a small integrated front shelf and rear shelf, a predetermined storage state can be maintained by a simple holding mechanism, and the shelf is stored by tilting or overturning. It is possible to eliminate the problem of protruding from the space. In addition, the depth of the recess in the space can be minimized.

  According to the structure of claim 6, since the amount of depression in the space for storing the shelf can be reduced, the influence on the insulating material side between the walls (insulation performance between the walls and the arrangement of the equipment, change in dimensions) is minimized. It can be done. Further, since the space between the rear end (23bb) and the recessed wall surface (26a or 44a) can be reduced during normal use of the shelf (23), food can be dropped from the shelf (23) to the shelf storage space. Can be prevented.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the refrigerator of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the rotational shape and shelf storage structure of a telescopic shelf in the first embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is the extended state and rail of the telescopic shelf in the first embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a side view showing a stretched state of the telescopic shelf in the first embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a telescopic shelf portion in the first embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention. It is a side view which shows the state which shrunk the front shelf.

  Here, since the parts of the refrigerator not shown in FIG. 1 have basically the same configuration as the conventional one, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  First, the overall configuration will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 21 denotes a refrigerator storage chamber, in which a plurality of shelf plates 22 made of flat plates are arranged in the upper stage inside, and a telescopic shelf 23 is arranged in the lower stage. A dotted line B is a shape diagram when the front shelf 23a is stored in the rear shelf and used in a contracted state with respect to the telescopic shelf 23, and a two-dot chain line C is a state diagram when starting to rotate and start up, A solid line D is a shape diagram in a state in which the start-up is completed and stored and held at a predetermined position.

  An accessory storage case 24 is arranged at the lowest level of the storage chamber 21. Since the decorative plate 25 can be attached as a single part in the final stage of the refrigerator production, a device such as a cooler or an air passage device is installed on the heat insulating material side of the rear wall, and these can be attached and detached. It is easy to manufacture and improve, and the back wall of the box body 1 is composed of an inner box 1a, an outer box 1b, and a rear heat insulating material 1c as in the conventional case, and the inside is a fan 2 and a cooler in front of the inner box 1a. 3, and a cold air ventilation forward path 5 a and a cold air ventilation return path 5 b are provided, and a heat insulating material 1 c is provided behind them (see FIG. 6). The decorative plate 25 is attached from the inside of the storage chamber and covers the cooler 3 and the cool air ventilation return paths 5a and 5b.

  The face of the decorative board 25 corresponding to the normal shelf boards 10 and 11 made of a single board is easily accessible to the storage of the above-mentioned devices and the food and the food is taken in and out to the front. Wall) and a part of the region extending rearward and upward of the telescopic shelf 23 (normal position) closer to the lower side is recessed toward the heat insulating material 1c side outside the reference wall surface A, and the telescopic shelf 23 is moved to the back. Thus, the shelf 26 is used for storing the shelf when the refrigerator is used.

  By providing the recessed wall surface 26a forming the shelf storage space on the decorative plate side of the inner box, the shelf storage space 26 can be easily formed. On the other hand, when the heat insulating material 1c is provided on the inner box side nearby, it is necessary to change the shape of the heat insulating material foaming employment or the change of the component mounting structure on the heat insulating material side due to the structure of the recess. Can also be done more conveniently.

  The size of the shelf storage space 26 is such that at least the telescopic shelf 23 is vertically short when the front shelf 23a is stored in the rear shelf 23b and the width in the front-rear direction is reduced to a small size of approximately half. The height is such that it can be stored, and the front-rear direction has a recess depth that can store the thickness of the telescopic shelf 23.

  With this configuration, the telescopic shelf 23 can accommodate almost the entire main part of the shelf except for the small piece engagement piece and the support shaft 29 at the side end in the shelf storage space 26 when approaching a substantially vertical posture. Can do. Therefore, the depth of the depression can be minimized at that time. In addition, since the shelf storage space 26 is located on the rear outer side of the reference plane A for food storage, it does not interfere with food storage.

  Further, the inner box 1a of the storage chamber 21 is made of a resin vacuum-molded product, and rails 27 that support the telescopic shelf 23 from below are integrally formed by protruding from both side walls of the inner box 1a. . The rail 27 has a notch 28 in the middle, and is composed of a front rail 27a and a rear rail 27b. The operation of the notch 28 will be described later.

  Next, the expansion / contraction operation of the extendable shelf 23 and the relationship with the rail 27 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the telescopic shelf 23 is composed of a front shelf 23a and a rear shelf 23b, and the front shelf 23a can be accommodated in the rear shelf 23b by sliding the frame of the rear shelf 23b along the guide. The shelf width can be changed in the front-rear direction. The rear shelf 23b is provided with support shafts 29 projecting outward from both sides of the lower surface at the left and right ends. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the telescopic shelf 23 is held almost horizontally by a bearing portion 30 provided on the upper surface of the rail 27 and the rear surface of the rear rail 27b, as shown in FIGS. The

  As shown in FIG. 3, the positioning when extending and using is performed by sandwiching the upward protrusion 32 of the front rail 27a with the flanges 31a and 31b attached downward to the front shelf 23a, and excessively pulling the front shelf 23a. The provided engagement piece 34 is prevented with the downward projection 35 at the front end of the front rail 27a as a wall.

  Positioning when the front shelf 23a is stored in the rear shelf 23b and contracted is used by engaging the flange 31b with the groove 33 of the front rail 27a as shown in FIG. The engagement piece 34 is prevented by using the step portion 36 of the front rail 27a as a wall.

  The lifting of the telescopic shelf 23 is prevented by holding the front rail 27a or the rear rail 27b with the engagement piece 34. Further, the engagement at the time of rotation can be easily released by pulling forward slightly and raising the engagement piece 34 from the position of the notch 28. The operation of pulling forward once is in the same direction as the operation that can prevent the rear end 23aa from coming into contact with the recessed wall surface for storing the shelf and will be described later. Is a configuration that fits conveniently in the direction of shelf movement.

  The front shelf 23 a of the telescopic shelf 23 can be moved into the rear shelf 23 b, can be rotated in a state where the front shelf 23 a is stored in the rear shelf 23 b, and can be stored behind the storage chamber 21. For this purpose, a pivot 29 is provided on the rear shelf 23b for rotation.

  With the above configuration, the front shelf and the rear shelf are integrated into a small shelf whose shelf width is reduced to almost half, so that the rotational volume of the rotational start-up becomes small, and the distance from the upper shelf is secured. . Therefore, the dimension between shelves can be narrowed. Also, the shelf storage space is small and easy to arrange. In addition to easy handling, the shelf that has entered the shelf storage space can be held using either the front shelf or the rear shelf with simple holding means.

  The bearing surface shape of the bearing portion 30 is such that the width is increased by at least a predetermined dimension from the position of the support shaft 29 in a normal use state in which the telescopic shelf 23 is placed on the rail 27, and is widened upward from the middle. It has the structure which has 30a and can respond to said contact prevention.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the operation by the receiving surface shape will be described. When the telescopic shelf 23 is rotated and started up, if the pivot 29 is rotated without changing the point of the support shaft 29 (does not move forward), the rear end 23bb of the telescopic shelf contacts the recessed wall surface 26a and rotates. In this embodiment, it is possible to move forward (pull) once at the beginning of rotation in this embodiment, and to absorb the rear end 23bb of the extendable shelf hitting the hollow wall surface 26a. Is formed on the receiving surface of the bearing portion 30.

  Further, in addition to the action when the wide receiving surface 30a is inclined obliquely upward, the telescopic shelf 23 rotates while releasing the engagement, and thus the storage space naturally. The posture which inclines in the back downward direction which it is easy to enter toward the part 26, and the structure which can be lowered | hung is obtained. Therefore, by providing the escape portion, the amount of dent in the space for storing the shelf can be reduced, so it affects the side of the heat insulating material between the walls (insulation performance between the walls, equipment arrangement, and changes in dimensions). Can be minimized. Further, since the space between the rear end (23bb) and the recessed wall surface (26a or 44a) can be reduced during normal use of the shelf (23), it can be dropped from the food shelf (23) to the shelf storage space. Can be prevented.

  In addition, in the rail 27b, an inclined guide slope for guiding the rear shelf 23b (a form in which the telescopic shelf 23 is folded) to the shelf storage space 26 in a state where the front shelf 23a is stored in the rear shelf 23b and contracted. 38 is provided with the rear facing downward following the rear rail 27b. That is, since the rail bearing 30 and the guide slope are continuously formed, a posture toward the shelf storage space can be obtained while smoothly moving the shelf. At this time, since the front shelf and the rear shelf are integrated in a small size and guided by the guide slope, the front end (23aa) of the shelf collides with the upper shelf (22) and damages food. There is nothing.

  Further, the rear rail 27b includes a guide horizontal portion 39 positioned below the shelf storage space portion 26, and a guide slope 38 for guiding the guide horizontal portion 39 from the normal position (the shelf is horizontal) to the telescopic shelf 23. The bearing portion 30 that supports the support shaft 29 is integrally provided. With this configuration, when the telescopic shelf 23 is stored in the shelf storage space 26, the telescopic shelf 23 is slid along the guide slope, and the position of the support shaft 29 is automatically set to the guide guide. When it reaches the horizontal portion 39, it vertically enters a predetermined position in the shelf storage space portion 26. Therefore, the food storage is not disturbed by the telescopic shelf 23.

  The telescopic shelf 23 placed in the shelf storage space 26 is fixed with a locking piece 40 between the decorative plate 25 or the main body side such as the side surface of the inner box 1a in the vicinity of the upper end 23aa. . That is, since the front shelf 23a is housed in the rear shelf 23b and becomes small, and the position of the lower end 23aa is determined, the housing state can be maintained by a simple holding mechanism, and the shelf can be tilted or overturned to store the storage space. You can eliminate the problem of spilling out. In addition, since it can be stored and held substantially vertically, the depth of the recess in the space can be minimized.

  FIG. 5 shows the rotational shape and shelf storage structure of the extendable shelf in the second embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention. In addition, about the same structure as Example 1, the same number is used, description is abbreviate | omitted and a different part is demonstrated.

  In FIG. 5, a first recess 44 is provided near the lower side of the decorative plate 42 and is directed outward from the upper main wall surface 42 a, thereby forming a space 43 for shelf storage. Similar to the first embodiment, the size of the first indented portion 44 is provided over the back and top of the normal use position of the telescopic shelf 23, and at least the telescopic shelf 23 is accommodated in the front shelf 23a and the rear shelf 23b. The height is such that the width in the front-rear direction when retracted can be accommodated, and the depth in the front-rear direction is sufficient to accommodate the thickness of the telescopic shelf 23.

  In addition, a second indentation 45 is provided on the wall surface of the first indentation 44 further outward. If the first recess wall surface 44a is flattened downward and rotated around the support shaft 29, the rear end 23bb of the telescopic shelf comes into contact with the recess wall surface (44a) and stops rotating. Therefore, in this embodiment, a relief portion that can absorb this contact is formed by the second depression 45. The second recess 45 extends from a position slightly higher than the height position of the telescopic shelf 23 during normal use to the lower side, and the rear end 23bb of the telescopic shelf 23 is rotated around the support shaft 29 point. Is provided in a curved shape with a gap where the rear end 23 does not contact along the rotation locus.

  The effect of the configuration of the first recess 44 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted here. However, the configuration of the second recess 45 causes the retractable shelf 23 to be used during normal use. The boundary point between the first hollow wall surface 44a closest to the rear end 23bb and the upper edge of the second hollow portion 45a can reduce the front-rear direction space to almost zero. Therefore, since the amount of dents in the space for storing the shelf can be reduced, the influence on the heat insulating material side between the walls (insulation performance between the walls, device arrangement, and change in dimensions) can be minimized. Further, since the space between the rear end (23bb) and the recessed wall surface (26a or 44a) can be reduced during normal use of the shelf (23), food can be dropped from the shelf (23) to the shelf storage space. Can be prevented.

  In addition, the rear rail 27b has a guide horizontal part 39 for positioning by bringing the rear end of the shelf into contact with the lower part of the shelf storage space 26, and the guide horizontal part 39 from the normal position (the shelf is horizontal) A guide slope 38 for guiding is provided integrally with the bearing portion 30 that supports the support shaft 29 of the telescopic shelf 23.

  When the telescopic shelf 23 is stored in the shelf storage space 26, the telescopic shelf 23 is slid along the guide slope, and the position of the rear end 23bb is automatically set to the guide horizontal portion 39. When contacted, the rear end 23bb is determined as the lower end position to be stored. In this case, the lower end positioning can be performed more accurately in the second embodiment than in the first embodiment, and the guide horizontal portion 39 supports the center of gravity line of the telescopic shelf 23 from below. Can be prevented from being damaged.

  The telescopic shelf 23 placed in the shelf storage space 26 is maintained in the storage state by a simple holding mechanism as in the first embodiment, and the effect can be obtained in the same manner (the description is omitted in this section). To do).

  In the above embodiment, the height position when the shelf is stored is determined using the horizontal portion of the guide. However, if the structure can be held at a predetermined position, the height position is not particular.

  Moreover, although Example 1 and 2 demonstrated the shelf apparatus which can be expanded and contracted as an example, it is not limited to this, A structure can be utilized also in a normal single shelf.
