Description

  The present invention relates to a refrigerator provided with a telescopic shelf in a refrigerator compartment.

A retractable shelf is usually provided in the refrigerator compartment of a large refrigerator (see Patent Documents 1 to 3). There is a refrigerator provided with a glass shelf in a refrigerator (see Patent Document 4).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-339569. JP 2001-317868 A. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-161782. JP-A-2004-257616.

  In order to increase the reliability of the telescopic shelf when it is rotated 90 degrees (during storage), the telescopic shelf disclosed in Patent Document 3 described above rotates the telescopic shelf (overlapping object) that overlaps the front and rear shelves by 90 degrees. And I was a little depressed at the end. Thereby, the telescopic shelf does not fall forward.

The present invention provides a simple structure in which the telescopic shelf is dropped last.

The present invention slides the front shelf (4a) rearward to overlap the rear shelf (4b), and the overlapping of both shelves around the rotation center (16) provided in the rear shelf (4b) in this overlapping state. In the telescopic shelf of the refrigerator that rotates the front part of the object (4) upward, it is provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, receives the rotation center (16), and expands to the rear. A receiving part (13), provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, a restricting part (14) for restricting the rearward movement of the rear shelf, the holder center of rotation (16) holds the duplicates was written to drop out from the receiving portion (15), provided on the inner side wall of the refrigerating compartment (11), the overlapping of the two shelves ( When the front part of 4) is rotated upward by nearly 90 degrees, the center of rotation (16) is brought into contact with the overlapping object (4) by rotating the overlapping object around the contacting part. A contact portion (17) to be removed from the receiving portion (13); It is characterized by providing.

  According to the present invention, the telescopic shelf is automatically dropped and held by the holding unit only by rotating the telescopic shelf by 90 degrees.

The present invention slides the front shelf (4a) rearward to overlap the rear shelf (4b), and the overlapping of both shelves around the rotation center (16) provided in the rear shelf (4b) in this overlapping state. In the telescopic shelf of the refrigerator that rotates the front part of the object (4) upward, it is provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, receives the rotation center (16), and expands to the rear. A receiving part (13), provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, a restricting part (14) for restricting the rearward movement of the rear shelf, The rotating center (16) is provided on the holding part (15) for holding the duplicated object dropped from the receiving part and the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, and the duplicated part (4 ) When the front part is rotated upward by nearly 90 degrees and the overlapping part (4) is brought into contact with the overlapping part (4) and the overlapping part is rotated around the contacting part. The contact part (17) to be removed from the receiving part (13); It is characterized by providing.

Further, the front shelves and the rear shelf, and wherein the this with a glass plate.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the refrigerator according to the first embodiment. The refrigerator 1 is an ordinary refrigerator, and includes a heat insulating box or the like in which a foam heat insulating material is filled between a metal plate outer plate and a vacuum-formed synthetic resin inner box. In addition, since the convex part 1a of the upper surface of the outer plate of this refrigerator uses the upper surface of a refrigerator as a heat radiating part, if a thing is put on this surface, predetermined freezing capacity will not come out. However, some users use this plane as a storage area for goods because it is flat. For this reason, this convex part 1a makes the upper surface uneven, making it unsuitable for storing articles and making it easy to create a gap even if an object is placed.

  FIG. 2 is a view in which the door of the refrigerator compartment 2 is removed. In FIG. 2, 3 is a shelf and 4 is a telescopic shelf. This telescopic shelf slides the front shelf 4a rearward to overlap the rear shelf 4b, and the front part of the overlapped object 4 on both shelves is located above the rotation center provided in the rear shelf 4b in this overlapping state. It is stored in a rotated state. 5 is a shelf.

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a drawer tray that forms a chilled container. 7 is a drawer tray, 8 is a water supply tank of an automatic ice maker placed on the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, and 9 is a drawer tray placed on the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Reference numeral 10 denotes a partition plate.

  3 and 4 show the left inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment 2. In FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, 12 is a guide holding part for a telescopic shelf.

  5 and 6 show a state in which the telescopic shelf 4 is set in the guide holding portion 12. FIG.

  3 to 6, the telescopic shelf 4 is configured such that the front shelf 4a is slid rearward and overlapped with the rear shelf 4b, and the center of rotation 16 provided on the rear shelf 4b in the overlapped state is the center. The front part of the overlapped object 4 on the shelf is rotated upward and stored.

  Reference numeral 13 denotes an L-shaped receiving portion which is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment, receives the rotation center 16 and expands backward.

  Reference numeral 14 denotes a restricting portion that is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment and restricts rearward movement of the rear shelf 4b.

  Reference numeral 15 denotes a holding portion that is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment, and holds the overlap 4 in which the rotation center 16 is slightly removed from the receiving portion 13.

  17 is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment, and when the front part of the overlapped object 4 of both shelves is turned upward by nearly 90 degrees, it abuts on the overlapped object 4 and this contact part is the center. It is a contact part which removes the said rotation center 16 from the said receiving part 13 by rotating an overlapping thing.

  The telescopic shelf 4 is set as shown in FIGS. Then, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the front shelf 4a is slid rearward to overlap the rear shelf 4b. At this time, the backward movement is restricted by the restriction unit 14.

  Next, when holding the front part of the overlapping object 4 on both shelves and pushing it upward, it rotates about the rotation center 16 as shown in FIGS.

  When further rotated, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a part of the overlapping object 4 (new telescopic shelf with overlapping front and rear shelves) comes into contact with the contact part 17, and this contact part overlaps with the center of rotation. The object rotates.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the rotation center 16 moves backward, and the overlapping portion 4 is dropped into the holding portion 15. The rotation center 16 also falls into the holding portion 18 and functions to reduce the amount of play.

  When the stored shelf 4 is returned to its original position, the shelf 4 is lifted up a little, and the rotation center 16 is set on the receiving portion 13, the duplicate 4 is brought forward, and then only the front shelf 4 a is pulled out.

  The front and rear shelves 4a and 4b of the first embodiment are made of a glass plate and a peripheral portion formed by molding the periphery of the glass plate with resin, and are heavier than a conventional telescopic shelf.
