When the door (36) is separated from the access port (38) as shown in FIG. 4 , the push button (39a) projects to a predetermined position by the built-in spring of the push button switch (39), and the built-in spring the lower end of the cam (51) by the pressing force (50) is rotated in the direction of arrow E shown in FIG. In this state, there is no pressing force acting on the push button (39a), the fan for cold air circulation using the contact a (not shown) is deactivated, and the interior lamp using the contact b (not shown) is activated. Is done. And the upper end (49) of the cam (51)
By setting the position where the concave portion (36c) of the lower end surface (36b) of the door (36) hits in an appropriate position, malfunction of the push button (39a) can be prevented.

When the door (36) closes the access port (38) as shown in FIG. 3 , the concave portion of the lower end surface (36b) of the door (36) is closed.
(36c) presses the upper end (49) of the cam (51) until the upper edge of the cam (51) becomes horizontal. The cam (5
While the lower end (50) of 1) goes from opening the door (36) to closing it,
As shown in FIG. As a result, the tip of the push button (39a) of the push button switch (39) is gradually pushed from the position shown by the dashed line in FIG. 3 to the position shown by the solid line, so that the fan for cold air circulation using the a contact is energized. The interior light using the b contact is deactivated. Then, the pressing force in the direction opposite to the arrow F to the lower end (50) of the cam (51) by the restoring force of the built-in spring of the push button switch (39) is such that the upper end (49) of the cam (51) is It is reliably supported by hitting the concave portion (36c) of the lower end surface (36b). In addition, since the pivoting member at the lower end of the door (36) and the pressing mechanism (44) are arranged close to each other, the rotational moment force is large and the door (36) is incompletely closed,
The occurrence of a so-called half-door state can be prevented.

In the refrigerator door opening / closing device configured as described above, when the door (36) is opened, the elastic body (59) is located above the stator (56) as shown in FIG. , So it can be kept in a free posture without deformation. Also,
In a state where the door (36) is closed, as shown in FIG. 17, the tip of the elastic body (59) is pressed by the stator (56) to be elastically deformed, and the recess (60) becomes the stator (56). Fits. Such elastic body (59)
Since the pressing force due to the elastic deformation of the bearing is transmitted to the outside of the pivot line of the bearing (57), the bearing (57) becomes a fulcrum by the principle of extension, and the door (36) as an action point is moved through the door (38). ) Direction. And when opening the door (36), the door by human power
The rotation of (36) elastically deforms the elastic body (59) and causes the stator (5
The engagement between the recess (60) and the recess (6) is released, and the door (36) is rotated in the opening direction.

Thus, the closed door (36) is stably held at the closed position by the elastic body (59) that has been elastically deformed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a problem that the function of the refrigerator is impaired due to the incomplete closing of the door (36). In addition, elastic body (5
Since 9) is formed integrally with the bearing (57), the appearance does not deteriorate. Further, since the hinge (53) and the bearing (57) are arranged at a short distance, there is no change in the closing pressing function of the door (36) due to a difference in the production of parts, and a highly accurate product can be obtained. The figure
The stator 56 shown in FIG. 9 is mounted on the side surface of the hinge 53 by cantilever support. But hinge the stator (56) (53)
It is also possible to mount it on both sides by supporting it on both sides. In the case of such a configuration, the strength of the hinge (53) increases, and the mounting position accuracy of the stator (56) improves, so that the door (36) can be opened and closed in a more stable state .

As described above, according to the present invention, the inner box provided with an access port on the entire surface and cooled, the lower end is pivotally attached to the lower edge of the access port, and pivots via the horizontal axis. A door that opens and closes, and the lower end of the inner box is displaced upward by the opening operation; a push button switch provided at the lower edge of the access opening and disposed at a lower end than the lower end of the door at the time of opening; A pressing mechanism having a cam provided on the edge, one side pivoted to the lower edge, the upper part on the other side opposing the lower end face of the door, and the lower part on the other side facing the push button of the push button switch. Are provided. As a result, the push button switch provided on the lower edge of the access opening of the inner box is pressed via the pressing mechanism when the door is closed. Therefore, the effective use space is reduced due to the case of the push button switch protruding into the inner box, the operation failure due to icing in the push button switch, the operation failure of the push button switch due to insufficient pressing force of the push button,
In addition, there is an effect of preventing malfunction of the refrigerator due to incomplete closing of the door caused by the reaction force of the built-in spring of the push button.

Further, the lower end is pivotally attached to the lower edge portion of the access opening of the refrigerator main body, and the door main body which rotates and opens and closes via a horizontal line engages both the movable side and the fixed side in series with each other. And a bar is formed along the length of the lower side of the door body, and one of the two is held at the lower edge of the access opening and the other is held by the door body, and the two are fixed to the relative rotation of the two. And a damper cover having a tubular shape, into which the damper is inserted, and whose length is arranged along the length of the lower side of the door body and which is mounted in a buried state. As a result, the damper fitted into the cylindrical cover is mounted on the lower end surface of the door body in an embedded state. In addition, the workability can be improved, the strength of the cover is improved, the damper is securely fixed, and the opening and closing operation of the door body is stabilized.

Further, without the exit and access opening stator arranged to face the lower end of the door provided on the lower edge of the curved shape along an arc around the door rotation axis, the door And an elastic body which is rotated and displaced with the opening and closing operation of the door, elastically deforms at least when the door is closed, and engages with the stator. Thus, when the door is closed, the elastic body is elastically deformed and engages with the stator at the lower edge of the access opening, thereby restricting the operation in the opening direction of the door. Then, by the elastic member engaged with the stator and the bullet <br/> deformation was opened
The door is stably held at the closing position, and there is an effect of preventing a problem that the function of the refrigerator is impaired due to the incomplete closing of the door.
