[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a door pocket on the inner surface of a door.
[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
FIG. 6 shows an example of a conventional refrigerator. A cooling chamber, for example, a refrigerating chamber 2 is formed inside the storage body 1, and shelves 3 are provided in a plurality of upper and lower stages inside the refrigerating chamber 2. Moreover, the door 4 for opening and closing the refrigerator compartment 2 is provided in the front part of the store | warehouse | chamber main body 1, and the door pocket 5 is provided in multiple numbers on the inner surface of this door 4, for example. The door pocket 5 accommodates cans or mayonnaise, or the large door pocket 5 accommodates relatively large bottles. The front plate portion 5a on the shelf 3 side in the door pocket 5 is formed substantially vertically as shown in FIG.
[0003]
By the way, when the plastic bottle 6 is arranged on the shelf 3 so as to protrude forward from the shelf 3 with another container 7 interposed on the rear side as shown in FIG. In this case, the cap receiver 6a of the plastic bottle 6 may be relatively over the front plate portion 5a of the door pocket 5 (see the solid line in FIG. 8).
In this case, when the door 4 is opened, the door pocket 5 moves in the direction of the arrow Q along with this, but at this time, the front plate portion 5a remains engaged with the cap receiver 6a, and the plastic bottle 6 is pulled out. There was a risk of falling off the shelf 3. Such inconveniences can also be said for a container other than a plastic bottle, for example, a long container with a cap (such as a beer bottle).
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator in which the contents are not caught by the door pocket and falling off.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The invention according to claim 1 is a cooling chamber provided with an article mounting portion formed inside the storage body and attached so that the height position can be changed, and a door provided in the storage body for opening and closing the cooling chamber; A door pocket provided on the inner surface of the door, and tilted upward toward the back side of the cooling chamber at the upper end of the front plate portion of the door pocket on the storage object mounting portion side . Depending on the height position, the upper end portion of the front plate portion of the door pocket is positioned above the stored object placing portion , and a cap of a long container placed on the stored object placing portion is the door pocket. When the door is opened, a cap (such as a cap holder or a cap) is extended when the door is opened. ) Does not get caught on the inclined part which is the upper end of the front plate part. Never ones in which PET bottles from falling out contained goods mounting portion.
[0006]
In this case, it is preferable that the front end of the stored item placement portion and the front end portion of the inclined portion of the door pocket be separated from each other by a predetermined distance or more (the invention of claim 2).
If the inclined portion is formed at the upper end portion of the front plate portion of the door pocket, there is a possibility that the space between the inclined portion front end portion of the door pocket and the front end of the stored item placement portion becomes narrow. In this case, the flow of cold air may deteriorate. However, since the front end of the stored item placement portion and the tip end portion of the inclined portion of the door pocket are separated from each other by a predetermined distance, the flow of cool air does not deteriorate.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in FIG. 2 which shows the whole refrigerator in perspective, inside the refrigerator body 11, in order from the top, a refrigerator compartment 12, a vegetable compartment 13, an ice making chamber 14, a temperature switching chamber 15, and a freezer compartment corresponding to a cooling compartment. 16 are formed, and are each opened and closed by doors 17 to 21 provided in the front part of the storage body 11.
[0008]
In FIG. 3, the refrigerator compartment 12 portion in the storage body 11 is shown in a longitudinal manner, and a cold air supply duct 22 is formed along the back portion and the ceiling surface of the refrigerator compartment 12, and this cold air supply duct 22 is not illustrated. The cool air generated by the cooler and the blower can be supplied into the refrigerating chamber 12 as shown by the arrows in the figure. In addition, the width | variety (it shows with the code | symbol A) of the narrow part in the flow path of this cold air supply duct 22 is about 15 mm.
[0009]
Further, in the refrigerator compartment 12, a plurality of shelves 23 serving as storage items are attached via shelf receivers 24 so that the height position can be changed, and another shelf 25 is provided below the shelves. . Further, a chilled case 26 is provided in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 12. On the other hand, door pockets 27 and 28 according to the present invention are provided on the inner surface of the door 17 for the refrigerator compartment 12, and other door pockets 29 and 30 are provided below the door pockets 27 and 28, respectively.
[0010]
The door pockets 27 and 28 are set to have a width that is almost the same as the width of the refrigerator compartment 2, and have a rectangular box shape with the upper surface open. The front plate portions 27a and 28a in the door pockets 27 and 28 have a vertical shape as a whole. However, as shown in FIG. 4, inclined portions 31 that incline upward toward the back side of the refrigerator compartment 12 are extended to the upper end portions of the front plate portions 27 a and 28 a, respectively. In this case, the space between the front end of the shelf 23 and the tip of the inclined portion 31 of the door pockets 27 and 28 (indicated by reference sign B in FIG. 3) is a predetermined distance, in this case, 15 mm or more.
[0011]
In this embodiment having the above-described configuration, for example, when the plastic bottle 6 is placed on the lower shelf 23 and the door 17 is closed, as shown in FIG. Even if the front plate portion 28a of the door pocket 28 is overcome, the upper end portion of the front plate portion 28a of the door pocket 28 is an inclined portion 31 that is inclined toward the back side of the cooling chamber 17, so that the door 17 is opened. (The door 17 and the door pocket 28 move in the direction of arrow C), the cap receiver 6a or the cap 6b is not caught by the inclined portion 31 which is the upper end portion of the front plate portion 28a, and the PET bottle 6 is removed from the shelf 23. It will not drop out.
[0012]
In particular, since the front end of the shelf 23 and the tip of the inclined portion 31 of the door pockets 27 and 28 are separated by a predetermined distance, in this case, 15 mm or more, that is, it is wider than the narrowest portion of the cold air supply duct 22. , The flow of cold air does not get worse.
[0013]
FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the inclined portion 32 is formed so as to be inclined downward from the upper ends of the door pockets 27 and 28 in the first embodiment. And different. In the second embodiment, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As apparent from the above description, the present invention can obtain the following effects.
According to the invention of claim 1, even when the door is closed in the case where a part of the stored article is engaged with the upper end portion of the door pocket front plate portion, A part is not caught and a thing does not fall from a thing mounting part.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the front end of the storage unit and the front end of the inclined portion of the door pocket are separated by a predetermined distance or more, the flow of cool air does not deteriorate.
