  Hereinafter, the refrigerator 10 provided with the storage structure which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on drawing. In the following description, the directions of up, down, front, back, left, and right are used as appropriate.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of a refrigerator 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The refrigerator 10 includes a refrigerator main body 11, and a plurality of storage chambers for storing food and the like are formed inside the refrigerator main body 11. As this storage room, the freezer compartment 12 and the refrigerator compartment 13 are formed from the upper stage.

  The front surface of the refrigerator body 11 is open, and the openings corresponding to the storage rooms are closed by doors 14 and the like. Specifically, from the top, the opening of the freezer compartment 12 is closed by a door 14, and the opening of the refrigerator compartment 13 is closed by a door 15.

  The door 14 closes the opening of the freezer compartment 12 from the front. For example, the upper and lower ends of the right end are rotatably supported by the refrigerator body 11. Similarly, the upper and lower ends of the right end of the door 15 are also supported by the refrigerator body 11 so as to be rotatable.

  A cooling chamber 21 is defined on the back side of the upper freezer compartment 12, and a cooler 20 is disposed inside the cooling chamber 21. The cold air inside the cooling chamber 21 cooled by the cooler 20 is blown to the freezer compartment 12 and the refrigerator compartment 13 by a blower (not shown), whereby the freezer compartment 12 and the refrigerator compartment 13 are cooled to a predetermined temperature band.

  A plate-shaped storage shelf 33 is arranged in the freezer compartment 12, and a storage object such as food (not shown) is placed on the upper surface of the storage shelf 33. The storage shelf 33 is assembled to the side surface of the inner wall of the freezer compartment 12 so that the storage shelf 33 is not easily detached from the refrigerator main body 11 under use conditions. Therefore, the storage shelf 33 cannot be removed simply by being pulled forward. In order to remove the storage shelf 33 from the refrigerator body 11, for example, the front end of the storage shelf 33 is once lifted upward, and then the storage shelf 33 is pulled out forward. Such an assembling structure is the same for the storage shelf 34 arranged in the refrigerator compartment 13.

  A storage shelf 34 is also arranged in the refrigerator compartment 13 in the same manner as described above. A storage container 37 is disposed at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment 13 for storing vegetables and the like.

  The refrigerator 10 of the present embodiment has a storage structure for storing a storage object 19 such as a cake that is easy to dry and whose shape tends to collapse. Specifically, as this storage structure, a movable container 24 comprising a support portion 16 slidably attached to the inner wall of the refrigerator compartment 13, a mounting plate 17 supported by the support portion 16, and a container portion 18. Is provided. In addition, a slide rail 38 is formed on the side wall of the refrigerator compartment 13, and the support portion 16 is placed on the slide rail 38 in a state where it can be pulled out.

  The support part 16 is a member formed in a frame shape, and is assembled to the inner wall of the refrigerator compartment 13 so that it can be pulled out in the front-rear direction. The placement plate 17 is a plate-like member placed on the upper surface of the support portion 16, and the storage object 19 is placed on the upper surface.

  The container part 18 is a container made of, for example, a transparent resin, and is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 17 with the opening thereof being the lower surface so as to seal the storage object 19 here. In this way, by sealing the storage object 19 with the container portion 18, it is possible to prevent the storage object 19 that is, for example, a cake from drying inside the refrigerator compartment 13. Further, by covering the storage object 19 with the container part 18 that is a resin molded product that does not easily deform, the storage object 19 is prevented from being deformed during storage or removal. As will be described later, the container portion 18 can be used as a storage container in which the storage object 19 is stored by being inverted and placed on the placement plate 17.

  With the above configuration, the user can easily take out the movable container 24 from the refrigerator compartment 13 in a state where the storage object 19 is sealed. Specifically, the user opens the door 15 that closes the refrigerator compartment 13 and pulls out the support portion 16 toward the front. If it does in that way, the movable container 24 mounted on the upper surface of the support part 16 will also be pulled out simultaneously. Next, the user can separate and remove the movable container 24 in a state in which the storage object 19 is stored from the support portion 16 and carry it to the dining table.

  In general, when the storage object 19 is a food such as a cake that tends to collapse, there is a risk that the shape of the storage object 19 may collapse before it is transported from the refrigerator 10 to the table. Since the movable container 24 of this form can be taken out from the refrigerator compartment 13 in the state which contained the to-be-stored object 19, it can carry the to-be-stored object 19 without a user contacting. Therefore, it becomes possible to carry the to-be-stored object 19 which is a cake, for example, to a dining table, without destroying the shape.

  With reference to FIG. 2, the configuration of the movable container 24 described above will be described. As shown in this figure, the movable container 24 composed of the placement plate 17 and the container portion 18 is placed on the upper surface of the support portion 16. Thus, the movable container 24 and the support part 16 are in an integrated state, and when the user pulls the support part 16 forward, the movable container 24 is simultaneously pulled forward in this state. Further, a rail portion 35 is formed by recessing the left side surface and the right side surface of the support portion 16 inward. The rail portion 35 is in contact with a slide rail 38 formed on the side wall of the refrigerator compartment 13 shown in FIG. 1, so that the support portion 16 is supported in a state of being movable in the front-rear direction. Further, a handle portion 25 that partially protrudes upward is formed on the upper surface of the container portion 18. The handle portion 25 is a portion that is held by a user who operates the container portion 18.

  The configuration of the movable container 24 described above will be described in detail with reference to the exploded perspective view of FIG.

  The support portion 16 is a frame-shaped member made of a synthetic resin that supports the movable container 24 from below. A handle portion 26 is formed by recessing the front side portion of the support portion 16 downward. The upper surface of the handle portion 26 is an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the front. The user can pull the entire movable container 24 forward by placing a hand on the handle portion 26.

  Further, an inclined surface 39 is formed on the outer side surface of the support portion 16 in the left-right direction. The user can insert the finger through the gap between the inclined surface 39 and the movable container 24, hold the extending portion 29 of the mounting plate 17, and remove the movable container 24. The user can also remove the movable container 24 from the support portion 16 by holding the front portion of the movable container 24.

  The movable container 24 includes a placement plate 17, a metal plate 27 placed on the top surface of the placement plate 17, and a container portion 18 that closes the placement plate 17 from above. As described above, the movable container 24 can be detached from the support portion 16 in a state where the storage object 19 is stored.

  The mounting plate 17 is a member obtained by molding a synthetic resin into a substantially plate shape, and a concave flat portion 28 is formed by recessing the vicinity of the central portion thereof downwardly. The length L13 in the front-rear direction and the length L12 in the left-right direction of the outer surface of the concave flat portion 28 are the length L10 in the front-rear direction of the inner wall of the support portion 16 and the length in the left-right direction. It is shorter than L11. By doing so, the concave flat portion 28 protruding downward from the mounting plate 17 can be accommodated in the support portion 16.

  In addition, an extending portion 29 that extends like a bowl toward the periphery is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the mounting plate 17. When the mounting plate 17 is assembled to the support portion 16 from above, the lower surface of the extending portion 29 of the mounting plate 17 comes into contact with the upper surface of the support portion 16.

  On the upper surface of the extension part 29, a positioning part 30 for positioning the container part 18 is formed. In the drawing, the positioning portion 30 is indicated by a dotted line. Here, the positioning part 30 is formed by projecting the upper surface of the mounting plate 17 upward in a frame shape. Since the positioning portion 30 is formed in a frame shape, the side surface portion 31 of the container portion 18 is in full contact with the positioning portion 30, so that the position of the container portion 18 on the mounting plate 17 is more accurately defined. I can do it. As the shape of the positioning portion 30, a shape other than a continuous frame shape can be adopted. For example, the positioning portions 30 may be discretely formed at the four corners of the extending portion 29.

  A metal plate 27 made of a metal such as aluminum is placed on the upper surface of the concave flat portion 28 of the placement plate 17. The length L16 in the front-rear direction and the length L17 in the left-right direction of the metal plate 27 are shorter than the length L14 in the front-rear direction and the length L15 in the left-right direction of the concave flat portion 28. The above-described storage object 19 is placed on the upper surface of the metal plate 27. By doing in this way, since the to-be-stored object 19 is thermally radiated via the metal plate 27, the to-be-stored object 19 can be cooled early. Further, the metal plate 27 is formed smaller than the bottom surface portion 32 of the container portion 18.

  The container part 18 consists of transparent synthetic resin shape | molded by the box shape which has the opening part 36 below, and can be used for storage or sealing of the to-be-stored object 19 so that it may mention later. Specifically, the container portion 18 includes a substantially rectangular bottom surface portion 32 and a side surface portion 31 erected downward from the side of the bottom surface portion 32. Most of the side surface portion 31 is erected downward from the outer peripheral edge portion of the bottom surface portion 32, and a part thereof is erected upward. In other words, the outer peripheral edge portion of the bottom surface portion 32 is continuous with the intermediate portion of the side surface portion 31. The side surface portion 31 has an inclined shape whose width increases downward. When the container portion 18 is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 17, the lower end of the side surface portion 31 comes into contact with the upper surface of the extension portion 29 of the placement plate 17. Here, the case where the container part 18 is used as an airtight container is shown by placing the container part 18 on the placing plate 17 with the bottom face part 32 facing upward. In this embodiment, as will be described later, by placing the bottom surface portion 32 downward and placing it on the top surface of the placement plate 17, the storage object 19 can be accommodated inside the container portion 18. Further, a grip portion 25 having a shape that can be gripped by the user is bonded to the upper surface of the bottom surface portion 32.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the structure where the above-mentioned container part 18 is mounted is demonstrated. FIG. 4 shows a case where the container portion 18 is used as a storage container by being placed with the bottom surface portion 32 facing downward. FIG. 5 shows a case where the container portion 18 is used as a sealed container by being placed with the bottom surface portion 32 facing upward. Each of the cross-sectional views shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 corresponds to the AA cross-section shown in FIG.

  With reference to FIG. 4, the case where the container part 18 which made the bottom face part 32 downward is used as a storage container is demonstrated. 4A shows a structure in which the container 18 is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 17, and FIG. 4B shows a state in which the container 18 is separated upward.

  With reference to FIG. 4A, the container portion 18 is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 17 with the bottom surface portion 32 facing downward. In this case, the lower end of the side surface portion 31 on the bottom surface portion 32 side is in contact with the upper surface of the extending portion 29 of the mounting plate 17. In this way, the user can store the storage object 19 such as food in the container portion 18. In this case, the metal plate 27 is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom surface portion 32 of the container portion 18, and the storage object 19 is disposed on the upper surface of the metal plate 27. Moreover, the support part 16 is mounted with respect to the slide rail 38 attached to the side wall 40 of the refrigerator main body so that it can be pulled out.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, a positioning portion 30 is formed on the upper surface of the extending portion 29 of the mounting plate 17. Further, the side surface portion 31 of the container portion 18 has an inclined shape that spreads toward the opening portion 36 in consideration of releasability from the mold during molding. Therefore, the width L18 between the side surface portions 31 on the lower end side is shorter than the distance L19 between the positioning portions 30.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, the lower end of the side surface portion 31 of the container portion 18 is in contact with the upper surface of the extension portion 29 in a region inside the positioning portion 30. Therefore, the lower end of the side part 31 of the container part 18 comes into contact with the positioning part 30 from the inside. Thereby, the position of the container part 18 on the upper surface of the mounting plate 17 is defined.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the case where the container part 18 which made the bottom face part 32 upwards is used as an airtight container is demonstrated. FIG. 5 (A) shows a structure in which a container part 18 used as a sealed container is placed on the upper surface of the placing plate 17, and FIG. 4 (B) shows the container part 18 in this state separated upward. Indicates the state.

  With reference to FIG. 5A, the container portion 18 is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 17 with the bottom surface portion 32 facing upward. In order to change the container part 18 from the state used as the storage container shown in FIG. 4A to the state used as the sealed container shown in this figure, the container part 18 is first temporarily removed. Next, the storage object 19 that is a cake, for example, is placed on the upper surface of the metal plate 27. Further, the container portion 18 is rotated 180 degrees so that the bottom surface portion 32 is on the upper side. Finally, the container portion 18 is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 17, whereby the storage object 19 on the upper surface of the placement plate 17 is sealed with the container portion 18. In this state, the lower end of the side surface portion 31 on the opening 36 side is in contact with the upper surface of the extending portion 29 of the mounting plate 17. Further, the metal plate 27 is taken out from the container portion 18 and disposed on the upper surface of the concave flat portion 28 of the mounting plate 17.

  With reference to FIG. 5 (B), the side part of the container part 18 is made into the inclination shape which spreads toward the opening part 36. As shown in FIG. For this reason, the width L20 between the side surface portions 31 on the lower end side is longer than the distance L19 between the positioning portions 30.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5A, the lower end of the side surface portion 31 of the container portion 18 is in contact with the upper surface of the extension portion 29 in a region outside the positioning portion 30. Therefore, the lower end of the side part 31 of the container part 18 comes into contact with the positioning part 30 from the outside. Thereby, the position of the container part 18 on the upper surface of the mounting plate 17 is defined.

  Further, as described above, when one positioning portion 30 is formed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 17 and the container portion 18 is used as a storage container, the side surface portion 31 is brought into contact with the positioning portion 30 from the inside. On the other hand, when the container part 18 is used as a sealed container, the side part 31 is brought into contact with the positioning part 30 from the outside. By doing in this way, the position of the container part 18 can be prescribed | regulated by the same positioning part 30, even when the container part 18 is used as a storage container or it is used as an airtight container. Therefore, the shape of the upper surface of the mounting plate 17 can be simplified.

  Here, in the above description, the magnitude relationship of the distance between the side surface portion 31 and the positioning portion 30 in the left-right direction has been described, but this relationship is the same in the front-rear direction.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
