Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to refrigerators.

  A refrigerator having a slide container that slides in the front-rear direction to be taken in and out of the storage chamber has been proposed, but when the slide container is not completely returned to a predetermined position in the storage chamber, it interferes with the refrigerator door. The refrigerator door cannot be closed. If the user does not notice that the door has not been closed, the so-called half-door state continues to have a significant adverse effect on the inside temperature due to cold air leakage. Therefore, even if the slide container is repeatedly taken in and out, it is required that the slide container reliably returns to a predetermined position in the storage chamber by a simple operation and the slide container does not interfere with the closing of the refrigerator door.

  By the way, as a deterioration factor of stored items such as food stored in the refrigerator, there is oxidation due to oxygen present in the air. By reducing the oxygen in the space where food is stored, the oxidation of stored items is suppressed. Refrigerators that can maintain the freshness of stored items are known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  Such a refrigerator includes an outer container having an opening on the front surface accommodated in a storage chamber, a slide container provided so as to be able to be taken in and out of the outer container, and an oxygen reduction device for reducing oxygen in the outer container. After the stored item is stored in the slide container, the opening on the front surface of the outer container is closed by a door that also serves as the front plate of the slide container, and the inside of the outer container is sealed by pushing back to a predetermined position in the outer container. Then, the oxygen reduction device is operated in a state where the inside of the outer container is sealed to reduce oxygen in the outer container.

  In the refrigerator as described above, in order to efficiently reduce the oxygen in the outer container, a sealing member is provided between the outer container and the door to improve the hermeticity of the outer container. Since the door is opened and closed each time the door is taken in and out, it is required to seal the space between the outer container and the door stably by pushing the slide container back to the specified position in the outer container even if the door is opened and closed repeatedly. It has been.

  The holder 114 includes an arm insertion part 120 into which the arm 102 provided in the door 66 penetrating in the front-rear direction is inserted, and a rod guide 122 extending in the front-rear direction and having a lower end communicating with the arm insertion part 120. The rod 112 is disposed on the rod guide 122 so as to be movable up and down.

  The biasing means 116 includes a spring case 124 that is fixed to the outer surface of the outer container 62, and a spring 126 that is housed in the spring case 124. The spring case 124 communicates with the rod guide 122 of the holder 114, and a spring 126 housed in the spring case 124 biases the upper surface of the rod 112 disposed in the rod guide 122 downward.

  The rod 112 is disposed at the rear position so that the recess 106 and the second protrusion 110 provided on the arm 102 overlap in the refrigerator width direction. The lower surface of the rod 112 is inclined forward as it goes downward, and forms an inclined surface 112 a parallel to the inclined surface 106 a of the recess 106 provided in the arm 102. The rod 112 receives a downward biasing force from the spring 126 of the biasing means 116, is guided by the rod guide 122, slides downward, and is inserted into the arm insertion portion 120 from above.

  Further, a rod locking portion 128 that protrudes forward is provided on the front side of the refrigerator in the rod 112, and when the rod 112 is positioned above the arm insertion portion 120, a stopper 118 is applied to the lower surface of the rod locking portion 128. The rod 112 is held at the upper position of the arm insertion portion 120 against the downward biasing force of the spring 126 by being locked so as to come into contact.

  The stopper 118 biases the rotation shaft 130 fixed to the holder 114 in front of the refrigerator from the rod 112, the locking rod 132 rotatably attached to the rotation shaft 130, and the locking rod 132. And pressing means 134.

  The locking rod 132 is a rod-like member extending up and down across the rotation shaft 130, and rotates around the rotation shaft 130 so that both upper and lower ends are close to and away from the rod 112. A stopper locking portion 136 that protrudes toward the rod 112 is provided at the upper end portion of the locking rod 132 located above the rotation shaft 130. The upper surface of the stopper locking portion 136 is in contact with the lower surface of the rod locking portion 128 provided on the rod 112.

  The lower end 132a of the locking rod 132 positioned below the rotation shaft 130 is divided into two in the refrigerator width direction, and the first protrusions 108 provided on the left and right sides of the recess 106 in the arm 102 are the refrigerator width. It arrange | positions in the back position of the 1st protrusion 108 so that it may overlap in a direction. Further, the lower end portion 132a of the locking rod 132 is pressed in the direction away from the rod 112 by the pressing means 136 (that is, the front of the refrigerator), whereby the stopper locking portion 136 provided at the upper end portion of the locking rod 132. Is pressed against the rod 112.

  In the holding mechanism 100 having such a configuration, when the slide container 64 is pulled out from the outer container 62 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the stopper locking portion 136 of the stopper 118 is locked to the rod locking portion 128. Thus, the rod 112 is held at the upper position of the arm insertion portion 120 against the downward biasing force of the spring 126.

  When the slide container 64 is slid rearward from the state in which the slide container 64 is pulled out from the outer container 62 and stored in the outer container 62, the door of the slide container 64 is moved along with the rearward movement of the slide container 64. The arm 102 protruding rearward from 66 is inserted into the arm insertion portion 120 of the holder 114, and the first protrusion 108 provided on the arm 102 pushes the lower end portion 132 a of the locking rod 132 of the stopper 118 to the pressing means 134. It moves backward against the pressing force (see FIG. 6).

  As a result, the stopper locking portion 136 of the locking rod 132 moves to the front of the refrigerator so as to be separated from the rod 112 and is released from the locking with the rod locking portion 128. The rod 112 receiving the biasing force slides down the rod guide 122. The rod 112 slid down the rod guide 122 is inserted into the recess 106 of the arm 102 so that the inclined surface 112 a provided on the rod 112 contacts the inclined surface 106 a of the recess 106.

  It should be noted that the first protrusion 108 comes into contact with the lower end portion 132a of the locking bar 132 of the stopper 118 in front of the position where the door 66 closes the front opening of the outer container 62 20 mm to 40 mm, and the stopper engagement of the locking bar 132. It is preferable that the locking between the stopper 136 and the rod locking portion 128 of the rod 112 is released and the rod 112 is inserted into the recess 106 of the arm 102.

  Since the rod 112 receives a downward urging force from the urging means 116, the rod 112 is inserted into the concave portion 106 while sliding on the inclined surface 106a of the concave portion 106, and the slide container 64 is retracted to the rear of the refrigerator. The front opening 62 is closed with a door 66 (see FIG. 7).

  Thus, in a state where the front opening of the outer container 62 is closed by the door 66 of the slide container 64, the inclined surface 112 a of the rod 112 receives a downward biasing force from the biasing means 116 and is a recess provided in the arm 102. The slide container 64 is urged to the rear of the refrigerator even in a state where the front opening of the outer container 62 is closed by the door 66 (a state where the slide container 64 is housed in the outer container 62). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the slide container 64 from being drawn out forward.

  When the slide container 64 is housed in the outer container 62 and the front opening of the outer container 62 is closed by the door 66 as shown in FIG. The rod 112 moves upward against the downward urging force of the urging means 116 by sliding the inclined surface 106a provided in the concave portion 106 of the 102 toward the arm tip portion 102a (see FIG. 8).

  Then, when the slide container 64 is further pulled out from the front of the refrigerator as compared with FIG. 8, the first protrusion 108 provided on the arm 102 does not come into contact with the lower end portion 132a of the locking rod 132 of the stopper 118, and the urging force of the pressing means 134 As a result, the lower end portion 132a of the locking rod 132 of the stopper 118 moves forward, so that the stopper locking portion 136 of the locking rod 132 contacts the front side of the refrigerator of the rod 112.

  When the slide container 64 is further pulled out from the front of the refrigerator in this state, as shown in FIG. 9, the rod 112 that slides the inclined surface 106a of the concave portion 106 toward the arm tip portion 102a is provided at the rear of the concave portion 106. The second protrusion 110 is slid on the inclined surface 110 a and pushed upward by the second protrusion 110. Accordingly, the rod 112 is locked so that the upper surface of the stopper locking portion 136 of the stopper 118 is in contact with the lower surface of the rod locking portion 128 provided on the rod 112, and resists the downward biasing force of the spring 126. Is held at an upper position of the arm insertion portion 120 and does not come into contact with the arm 102, and the slide container 64 can be smoothly drawn forward.

  According to the present embodiment having the above configuration, when the slide container 64 is stored in the outer container 62, the rod 112 urged downward by the urging means 116 slides on the inclined surface 106 a of the recess 106. However, since the slide container 64 is inserted into the recess 106 and pulled backward by the urging force of the urging means 116, the slide container 64 can be reliably stored in the outer container 62 even with a simple operation.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the slide container 64 is provided with the stopper 118 that holds the rod 112 against the downward biasing force of the biasing means 116 by being locked to the rod 112 when the slide container 64 is pulled out from the outer container 62, the slide In a state where the container 64 is pulled out from the outer container 62, the slide container 64 is not pulled into the outer container 62 side, and it is easy to take in and out the stored product to and from the slide container 64.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the upper surface of the arm tip portion 102 a has a concave shape so as to be lower than the second protrusion 110, the rod 112 is pushed upward by the second protrusion 110 and provided on the rod 112. After the stopper locking portion 136 of the stopper 118 is locked to the rod locking portion 128, the lower end of the rod 112 is less likely to come into contact with the upper surface of the arm 102 when the arm 102 is pulled out from the arm insertion portion 120. The slide container 64 can be pulled forward.

  Further, in this embodiment, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 106a of the concave portion 106 with respect to the front-rear direction is set to an angle smaller than 45 degrees, so the rod 112 urged downward by the urging means 116 causes the slide container 64 to move. The amount of movement of the rod 112 can be reduced with respect to the amount of movement drawn to the rear of the refrigerator, and the arm holding portion 104 can be reduced in size.

  In addition, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where the outer container which forms the space sealed in the storage chamber 60 divided in the refrigerator was provided, and the slide container 64 was accommodated in the said outer container 62, this invention is described. For example, the arm holding unit 104 may be provided on a side wall that partitions the storage chamber 60 so that the slide container 64 slides back and forth in the storage chamber 60.

  Moreover, although the case where the storage room 60 was provided in the refrigerator compartment 22 was demonstrated, you may provide in storage spaces other than the refrigerator compartment 22, such as the vegetable compartment 24, for example.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, these embodiment was shown as an example and is not intending limiting the range of invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof as well as included in the scope and gist of the invention.
