DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator door device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, centerless refrigerators have been sold for home or business use. FIG. 4 shows a conventional door device such as a refrigerator in a centerless specification.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIGS. 4 and 5 showing a conventional refrigerator door device, a heat insulating box 1 is made of a heat insulating body having a heat insulating wall 4 made of a foaming heat insulating material interposed between an outer box 2 and an inner box 3. The front opening has a first door 6A having a handle 5 and a second door 6B, respectively.
A gasket 7 is provided on the periphery of the back surface of 6B. On the back surface of the non-pivot side portion of the first door 6A, the first door 6A pivots around the pin 9 as an axis and moves toward the second door 6B to enter the interior of the refrigerator, and the first door 6A is closed. When 6A is open, the first door 6A
A rotating partition 8 that rotates to the side is fixed. In addition, a compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan, and the like are stored and installed in the upper part of the heat insulating box 1, and an evaporator, an evaporator fan, and the like are provided on the upper surface of the inner box 3.

The operation of the refrigerator door apparatus configured as described above will be described below.

[0005] Since the interior of the heat insulating box 1 is cooled by a cooling system such as a compressor, a condenser, and a fan for the condenser, the food stored in the interior of the heat storage box 1 is supplied to the first door 6A or the second door 6A.
The door is opened and closed by opening and closing the door 6B.

When the first door 6A is in the closed state, the rotary partition body 8 rotates toward the second door 6B to enhance the heat retaining effect as shown in FIG. 4, and the first door 6A is in the open state. , The first door 6
The rotary partitioning body 8 is turned to the A side so that it does not hinder the taking in and out of food.

[0007]

In the conventional refrigerator door device, when the first door 6A is opened and the second door 6B is closed and food is taken in and out, the rotary partition body 8 comes into contact with food and the like. When the rotary partition 8 protrudes from the end of the first door 6A as shown in FIG. 5, when the first door 6A is closed, the main body of the second door 6B is damaged, or the rotary partition is rotated. 8 was damaged.

According to the present invention, when the door is in an open state, food or the like hits the rotary partition and turns to project from the end of the door.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator door device in which other doors and rotating partition bodies are not damaged even if the door is closed as it is.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a door apparatus for a refrigerator according to the present invention, when the door is closed with the rotary partition protruding from an end of the door, the rotary partition is moved to the other side. It comes into contact with the handle of the door.

[0010]

In the refrigerator door apparatus of the present invention constructed as described above, even if the door is closed with the rotary partition protruding from the end of the door, the rotary partition contacts the handle. Thus, the door and the rotary partition can be prevented from being damaged or damaged.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a refrigerator door apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a heat insulating box, which is constituted by a heat insulating wall 4 in which a foaming heat insulating material is interposed between an outer box 2 and an inner box 3; The first door 6A and the second door 6B having a pivot are pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable in a double-opening manner, and a gasket 7 is provided on the peripheral edges of the rear surfaces of both doors 6A and 6B. On the back surface of the non-pivot side portion of the first door 6A, a pin 9 is used as an axis with the closing operation of the first door 6A.
As shown in FIG. 1, there is a rotary partitioning body 8 that rotates toward the second door 6B and enters the interior of the storage. When the second door 6B is in the closed state, when the first door 6A is closed while the rotary partition 8 protrudes from the end of the first door 6A, the rotary partition 8
And the handle 5 of the second door 6B is in contact with
The protrusion length of the rotary partition 8 is determined, or the installation position of the handle 5 is determined.

A compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan and the like are provided on the upper part of the heat insulating box 1, and an evaporator and a fan for the evaporator are provided on the upper surface of the inner box 3.

The operation of the refrigerator door apparatus configured as described above will be described below.

The interior of the heat-insulating box 1 is cooled by a cooling system such as a compressor, a condenser and a fan for the condenser, and the food stored in the interior opens and closes the first door 6A and the second door 6B. It is put in and out by. When the first door 6A is opened, the rotary partition member 8 provided on the back surface of the non-pivot side portion of the first door 6A rotates at the same time as the opening operation of the first door 6A.
As shown in (1), it turns to the first door 6A side. When food is taken in and out in this state, the food or the like rotates against the rotary partition 8 and the rotary partition 8 protrudes from the end of the first door 6A as shown in FIG. When the first door 6A is closed while the door is closed, the back surface of the rotary partition body 8 comes into contact with the handle 5 of the second door 6B in the closed state and comes into contact with the main body of the second door 6B. It is something that was not done.

When the rotary partition 8 does not protrude from the end of the first door 6A, the rotary partition 8 is moved to the first door 6A.
When the pin 9 is brought into contact with the pin 9 by the closing operation of, the pin 9 rotates about the pin 9 toward the second door 6B.

[0017]

As described above, the present invention is constructed as described above, so that even if the rotating partition body is closed when it comes into contact with food or the like and projects from the door, the door body may be closed. If the handle is broken, it is easy to replace this part and the serviceability is good.
