  However, in the above-described conventional configuration, when storing a tall storage item such as a plastic bottle in each of the plurality of storage pockets, when the storage item in the back rear part is taken out, There was a problem that the upper end portion was difficult to remove because of obstruction. Moreover, in the refrigerator compartment, a part of the cold air that has descended from above flows through the space between the bottom wall of the refrigerator compartment and the bottom of the storage pocket to the door side in the direction opposite to the outlet. For this reason, there also existed the subject that the cooling efficiency in a refrigerator compartment was low.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator having a plurality of storage pockets on the inner side of a door, in which stored items can be easily taken in and out and the cooling efficiency is high.

In order to achieve the above object, in the refrigerator provided with a storage pocket for storing stored items on the side of the storage chamber of the door that opens and closes the opening of the storage chamber, the door is closed, The storage pocket is arranged at a height close to the bottom surface of the partition that forms the bottom wall of the storage chamber, the storage pocket is divided into a plurality of sections, and the bottom surface of the storage pocket is a surface that goes down toward the tip, extending from the door to the storage compartment side is provided a pocket support portion for supporting the bottom surface of the housing pocket, closer to the upper surface of the partition portion a bottom tip of the previous SL said housing pocket lower surface of the pocket support portion in the lower It is characterized by that. In addition, a front pocket disposed on the storage chamber side and a rear pocket disposed on the door side with respect to the front pocket are provided, and the bottom surface of the front pocket is disposed below the bottom surface of the rear pocket. In addition, the front end of the pocket support portion is positioned closer to the door than the front pocket. The front-rear area occupied by the storage pocket when the door is closed is about one third of the entire storage chamber.

  Further, in the refrigerator having the above-described configuration, the present invention has a protruding portion that protrudes from the lower surface of the rear pocket and is disposed near the tip of the pocket support portion, protrudes from the lower surface of the rear pocket, and the front pocket and the A rib for connecting the protrusion is provided.

  According to this structure, when a heavy storage item is stored, the storage pocket bends and falls downward. At this time, the protruding portion protruding from the lower surface of the rear pocket hits the pocket support portion. Thereby, the force applied downward with respect to the storage pocket is changed to a force compressing the rib in the front-rear direction.

According to the present invention, in the refrigerator having the above-described configuration, the protruding portion includes a restricting portion that locks the storage pocket with a protrusion provided on the door and engages the pocket support portion to restrict the rising of the storage pocket. The restricting portion includes a convex portion protruding from the protruding portion toward the pocket supporting portion side below the pocket supporting portion .

According to the configuration of this, drops downwardly deflected is storage pockets when accommodating the stored items with weight. When the leading end of the protruding portion protruding from the lower surface of the rear pocket hits the pocket support portion, the convex portion is positioned below the front end of the pocket support portion and engages with the convex portion and the pocket support to restrict the rise of the storage pocket.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the refrigerator having the above configuration, the position of the groove for inserting the door packing provided around the inner surface of the door is arranged above the bottom wall of the storage chamber. In addition, a cooling plate is provided on the back surface of the storage chamber, a cold air discharge port is provided near the center of the back surface portion, and the cold air discharged from the discharge port is guided obliquely forward by the guide, The part cools the cooling plate, flows forward and reaches the vicinity of the pocket on the door side, flows downward on the back surface side of the storage pocket, and the cold air flows on the upper surface of the partition portion on the back surface side. It is characterized by.

  According to the present invention, since at least a part of the bottom surface of the front pocket is arranged below the bottom surface of the rear pocket, the stored items can be stored in the front and rear storage pockets and stored in the back rear pocket. It becomes easy to put in and take out stored items.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since at least a part of the bottom surface of the rear pocket is supported by the pocket support extending from the door, the deflection of the storage pocket can be reduced, and the lowering of the front pocket bottom end can be suppressed. Moreover, the space | interval of a storage chamber bottom wall and a front pocket bottom face can be set smaller by suppressing the fall of a front pocket bottom part front-end | tip. For this reason, it becomes possible to distribute | arrange the bottom face of a front pocket still lower than the bottom face of a rear pocket, and it becomes still easier to take in and out the stored product to a back pocket.

  Further, by lowering the bottom of the front pocket and setting the space between the bottom of the storage chamber and the bottom wall of the storage chamber, the entrance for a part of the cool air circulating in the storage chamber to escape to the door side becomes narrow. For this reason, it can suppress that the cool air which escapes from the storage room side to the door side decreases, and the cooling efficiency in a refrigerator compartment falls.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the rib that connects the protruding portion protruding from the rear pocket and the front pocket is provided, the deflection of the storage pocket can be further reduced.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the storage pocket is merely locked to the protrusion provided on the door, the storage pocket can be easily attached to the storage chamber side. Further, by providing the restricting portion on the protruding portion, it is possible to prevent the storage pocket from being displaced upward due to an impact when closing the refrigerator door.

  Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily realize the restricting portion that restricts the rise of the pocket by forming the protruding portion that protrudes toward the pocket supporting portion below the pocket supporting portion.

  Further, according to the present invention, since the lower groove for inserting the lower door packing is disposed above the bottom wall of the storage chamber, the thickness of the heat insulating layer is ensured by providing a certain distance between the groove and the lower surface of the door. Therefore, the heat escaped from the lower door packing insertion groove can be reduced, and the heat insulation of the storage chamber can be secured.

In addition, a chilled chamber 23 is provided separately in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 2.

  A cool air passage 31 is provided behind the freezer compartment 6, and a cooler 17 connected to a compressor (not shown) is disposed in the cool air passage 31. The cooler 17 becomes the low temperature side of the refrigeration cycle by driving the compressor, and generates cool air. A freezer compartment blower 18 is disposed above the cooler 17, and a refrigerator compartment damper 27 is provided above the freezer compartment blower 18.

  A return port 22 through which cold air flows out of the freezer compartment 6 is provided at the lower portion of the freezer compartment 6. The cold air flowing out from the return port 22 returns to the cooler 17 through the cold air passage 31. Further, the cold air passage 31 branches at the upper portion, guides cold air to the temperature switching chamber 3 via the temperature switching chamber discharge damper 13, and guides cold air to the chilled chamber 23 via the chilled chamber damper 25.

  In the refrigerator compartment 2, a plurality of placement shelves 41 on which stored items are placed are arranged. At the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 2, an odor sensor 73 for detecting the odor inside the refrigerator compartment 2 is provided. A substantially U-shaped cold air passage 32 communicating with the cold air passage 31 via the cold room damper 27 is provided behind the refrigerating chamber 2. A refrigerating room blower 28 is disposed below the cold air passage 32. The cold air flowing through the cold air passage 31 is guided to the cold air passage 32 by opening the cold room damper 27 and driving the cold room blower 28.

  FIG. 3 shows a top sectional view of the refrigerator compartment 2. A cooling plate 42 that covers the cold air passage 32 is disposed on the back of the refrigerator compartment 2. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the cooling plate 42. The cooling plate 42 is formed by pressing a metal plate such as aluminum or stainless steel, and a stepped portion 42 b recessed rearward is formed in the central portion along the left and right cold air passages 32.

  A plurality of discharge ports 32a are provided in the side wall of the cold air passage 32, and a discharge port 42a that overlaps the discharge port 32a is opened in the stepped portion 42b. The cold air flowing through the cold air passage 32 is discharged into the refrigerating chamber 2 from the discharge port 42a and the discharge ports 32a at the left and right ends as shown by arrows in FIG. Further, the cold heat of the cold air flowing through the cold air passage 32 is released from the cooling plate 42 into the refrigerator compartment 2. Thereby, the inside of the refrigerator compartment 2 can be cooled uniformly.

  Between the left and right step portions 42b of the cooling plate 42, a concave portion 42c recessed further rearward is formed extending vertically. The recess 42c is provided with an illumination lamp 50 that illuminates the inside of the refrigerator compartment 2, and is covered with a transparent resin illumination lamp cover 51. Since the metal cooling plate 42 is arranged behind the illuminating lamp 50, the inside of the refrigerator compartment 2 can be brightened with less power consumption by reflecting the light from the illuminating lamp 50.

  Further, a convex portion 42d (see FIG. 4) extending horizontally is formed on the surface of the cooling plate 42. When the door 2a of the refrigerating chamber 2 is opened and high-temperature air flows in, water droplets due to condensation generated on the cooling plate 42 are held on the upper surface of the convex portion 42d. Thereby, water drops are not allowed to flow down to the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 2, but the stored items are prevented from getting wet by collecting the water drops flowing down to the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 2. The water droplets held by the convex portions 42d are dried when the door 2a is closed and the refrigerator compartment 2 is cooled. Therefore, the cooling plate 42 has a moisturizing function and helps to keep the refrigerator 2 warm.

  In the illumination lamp cover 51, a plurality of openings 51a (see FIG. 1) are formed at positions corresponding to the respective mounting shelves 41. A deodorizing unit 60 (see FIG. 2) is arranged on the upper part in contact with the back surface of the refrigerator compartment 2. Between the recess 42c of the cooling plate 42 and the illuminating lamp cover 51, a circulation passage 52 is formed which takes in the cold air flowing on each mounting shelf 41 in the refrigerator compartment 2 from the opening 51a and guides it to the deodorizing unit 60. The The cold air flowing through the circulation path 52 passes through the deodorizing unit 60 and is discharged into the refrigerator compartment 2. Thereby, cold air circulates in the refrigerator compartment 2.

  1 and 2, openings (not shown) are provided in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 2 and in the upper part of the vegetable compartment 5, and the refrigerator compartment 2 and the vegetable compartment 5 communicate with each other through a communication path connecting them. ing. A return duct 19 is provided behind the vegetable compartment 5, and an outlet (not shown) facing the return duct 19 is formed in the vegetable compartment 5.

  The temperature switching chamber 3 is provided with a temperature switching chamber return damper 20 that communicates with the return duct 19 when opened. The return duct 19 communicates with the cold air passage 31 and returns cold air from the vegetable compartment 5 and the temperature switching chamber 3 to the cooler 17 via the return duct 19 and the cold air passage 31. Further, a heater 15 and a temperature switching chamber blower 14 are provided in the temperature switching chamber 3.

  In the refrigerator 1 having the above configuration, the cold air generated by the cooler 17 is sent to the freezer compartment 6 and the ice making chamber 4 through the cold air passage 31 by driving the freezer compartment fan 18. The cold air flows through the freezing chamber 6 and the ice making chamber 4, flows out from the return port 22, and returns to the cooler 17. As a result, the freezer compartment 6 and the ice making compartment 4 are maintained at about -18 ° C. to store the stored items and ice in a frozen state. Further, the cold air branched at the upper part of the cold air passage 31 flows into the chilled chamber 23 via the chilled chamber damper 25, and cools the chilled chamber 23 to 0 ° C., for example.

  A part of the cold air flowing through the cold air passage 31 is driven to the cold air passage 32 by driving of the refrigerator air blower 28, and is sent to the refrigerator compartment 2 from the discharge ports 32a and 42a. Thereby, the refrigerator compartment 2 is hold | maintained at about 3 degreeC, and preserves refrigerated storage. The cold air flowing through the refrigerator compartment 2 merges with the cold air flowing out from the chilled compartment 23, and a part thereof flows into the vegetable compartment 5 through a communication path (not shown). The cold air flows through the vegetable compartment 5 and returns to the cooler 17 through the return duct 19. Thereby, the vegetable compartment 5 is hold | maintained at about 8 degreeC, and refrigerates and preserves vegetables.

  When the temperature switching chamber 3 is switched to the low temperature side, the temperature switching chamber discharge damper 13 and the temperature switching chamber return damper 20 are opened. The cold air branched at the upper part of the cold air passage 31 flows into the temperature switching chamber 3 via the temperature switching chamber discharge damper 13 and returns to the return duct 19 via the temperature switching chamber return damper 20. As a result, the inside of the temperature switching chamber 3 is maintained at a desired temperature at which the stored material is stored in a cooled state.

  When the temperature switching chamber 3 is switched to the high temperature side, the temperature switching chamber discharge damper 13 and the temperature switching chamber return damper 20 are closed. Further, the heater 15 is energized, and the temperature switching chamber blower 14 is driven. As a result, the temperature in the temperature switching chamber 3 circulates and the temperature is raised, and the temperature switching chamber 3 is maintained at a desired temperature that keeps the heated object (for example, 45 ° C. or higher, which prevents the growth of spoilage bacteria). Is done.

FIG. 5 is a side sectional view showing the main part of the door. 2a is a door in the figure, 82 is a door plate of the outer surface part, 83 is an inner surface portion to become a door back, 84 door cap, 85 is a pocket support portion projects into the storage compartment side from below the Doaba' click 83, 86 It is a protruding side surface protruding from the left and right sides of the door bag 83. In addition, the bottle shape is drawn with the continuous line for illustration as a store.

  The door plate 82 has side portions (not shown) bent rearward on both the left and right sides. The door cap 84 is placed on the upper and lower sides of the door plate 82 and the door back 83 that are arranged to face each other, and a heat insulating material is disposed in the internal space. In this embodiment, urethane which is foamed and solidified by injecting a foamed utalene raw material into the space is used as a heat insulating material. Thereby, the door 2a is formed.

  A storage pocket 93 provided on the storage chamber side of the door back 83 is divided in the front-rear direction, and includes a front pocket 88 disposed on the refrigerator compartment 2 (storage chamber) side and a rear pocket 87 disposed on the door side. Yes. Accordingly, when the storage pocket 93 is viewed from the door back 83 side when the door 2a is opened, the front pocket 88 is disposed on the front side, and the rear pocket 87 is disposed on the back side. Further, the bottom surface of the front pocket 88 on the side of the rear pocket 87 is formed to be lower than the bottom surface of the rear pocket 87.

  For this reason, for example, when a tall store (for example, a bottle, a beer bottle, etc.) is stored in the front pocket 88, the upper end of the tall store comes to a low position, so that it is stored in the back rear pocket 87. It is easy to put in and out things. Moreover, since the upper part of the storage chamber side wall surface of each pocket is inclined so as to be rearward, it is easy to take out stored items. The rear pocket side of the front pocket 88 is provided with a door-side wall surface 88a, which will be described later, but the door-side wall surface 88a may be an inclined surface with a lower end on the rear side or a curved surface. Further, the same effect as described above can be obtained when the front end of the storage pocket is located below the extended line of the bottom surface of the rear pocket 87 on the bottom surface of the front pocket 88 without providing the wall surface 88a on the door side.

  Concave portions 87e extending in the vertical direction are formed on both side surfaces of the rear pocket 87. Projecting side surfaces 86 extending vertically are provided on both side portions of the door back 83 inside the warehouse. Both projecting side surfaces 86 are formed with projecting portions 86a projecting in directions facing each other. When the storage pocket 93 is attached, the storage pocket 93 is inserted between the protruding side surfaces 86 from above. Then, the protrusion 86a is fitted into the recess 87e, and the storage pocket 93 is slid and guided downward by the protrusion 86a. Thereby, the recessed part 87e is engaged with the protrusion part 86a, and the storage pocket 93 is hooked inside the protrusion side surface 86 of the door 2a. In this figure, the protrusion 86a is drawn with a solid line for easy understanding.

  The front pocket 88 protrudes from the door 2 a, and when a heavy stored item is stored in the rear pocket 87 or the front pocket 88, the load of the stored item is applied to the storage pocket 93. By this load, a force is applied so that the front pocket 88 rotates downward with the storage chamber side tip of the pocket support 85 as a fulcrum. As a result, the bottom surface of the storage pocket 93 is bent, and cracks may occur if the load exceeds the durability of the storage pocket 93.

  The pocket support portion 85 protruding from the door bag 83 toward the storage chamber supports the vertical force caused by the load and suppresses the deflection and cracking of the storage pocket 93.

  Further, by providing a protrusion 87a protruding from the lower surface of the rear pocket 87 in the vicinity of the tip of the pocket support portion 85 and a rib 87b for connecting the wall surface 88a on the door side of the front pocket 88, the storage pocket 93 is bent to support the pocket. When the protruding portion 87a hits the portion 85, the force applied in the vertical direction is changed to a force that compresses the rib 87b in the front-rear direction.

  This is especially true in the lower region of the rib 87b, which further increases the strength. For this reason, compared with the case where the rib 87b is not provided, the deflection of the bottom surface of the storage pocket 93 is reduced. Accordingly, the ribs 87b can further prevent the storage pocket 93 from being bent or cracked. As will be described later, at least a part of the bottom surface of the front pocket 88 can be further lowered. If the lower end of the rib 87b does not fall below the lower end of the front pocket 88 and extends to the bottom surface of the front pocket 88, the strength is further increased, and the door opening and closing described later is not significantly affected.

  The tip of the pocket support portion 85 is extended to the vicinity of the wall surface 88a on the door side of the front pocket 88, and the wall surface 88a on the door side is deformed by the load and the force applied in the rotating direction of the pocket support portion 85. You may make it hit a front-end | tip. Thereby, the protrusion part 87a is abbreviate | omitted and the bending of the storage pocket 93 by a load can be further suppressed by simple structure.

  By reducing the deflection of the bottom surface of the storage pocket 93, the possibility of the storage pocket 93 coming into contact with the partition portion 89 due to the deflection of the load of the stored item is reduced, so that the storage pocket 93 can be opened and closed even when the door is opened and closed. The bottom surface of the plate is not rubbed against the partition portion 89. Thereby, a part of the bottom surface of the storage pocket 93 can be set to be close to the top surface of the partition portion 89. Further, by placing the bottom surface of the front pocket 88 lower than the bottom surface of the rear pocket 87, it becomes more convenient to put in and out the stored items stored in the rear pocket 87.

  In FIG. 2, the arrows indicate a part of the flow of cold air circulating in the refrigerator compartment 2. The cold air that has flowed out of the chilled chamber 23 is mixed with the cold air that descends from the upper side of the refrigerator compartment 2, and is guided backward through the space between the bottom surface of the chilled chamber 23 and the upper surface of the partition part 89 of the refrigerator compartment.

  At this time, if the gap between the bottom surface of the front pocket 88 and the upper surface of the partition portion 89 is large, after the cold air passes between the storage pocket 93 and the front of the chilled chamber 23, a part of the cold air flows through the gap to the door 2a side. .

  Since the storage pocket 93 has a small deflection, the bottom surface of the front pocket 88 and the top surface of the partition portion 89 can be brought close to each other even when a stored item is not inserted. Thereby, a part of cool air which flows to the door 2a side can be interrupted | blocked. Therefore, the cool air flowing to the door 2a side is reduced, and the cool air circulates efficiently.

  As a result, the influence of the cool air in the storage chamber below the pocket support portion 85 of the door 2a is reduced, so that the intrusion of heat from the outside can be further prevented and the heat loss is reduced. When the storage room below the partition part 89 is in a temperature zone that is greatly different (for example, the storage room temperature = 3 ° C., the storage room temperature below 45 ° C. or −18 ° C.), the partition part 89 The area in the front-rear direction occupied by the storage pocket 93 and the like (about one third of the whole in FIG. 2) is less affected by the circulation of the cool air in the storage chamber, which also helps to reduce heat loss.

  In addition, a flexible seal portion 90 that protrudes upward is provided in the partition portion 89 that forms the bottom wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the door 2a is closed, the lower end and bottom surface of the front pocket 88 slide in contact with the seal portion 90, and the space between the front pocket 88 and the partition portion 89 is shielded. Accordingly, the seal portion 90 constitutes a shielding portion that shields between the front pocket 88 and the partition portion 89.

  Thereby, the cold air | gas which distribute | circulates to the door 2a side through the clearance gap between the front part pocket 88 and the partition part 89 can be interrupted | blocked further, and a heat insulation effect and a cooling effect can be improved. In addition, the effect can be improved in the same manner by using an independent foamed sponge-like material instead of the seal portion 90.

  Moreover, you may provide the convex part which protrudes upwards from the partition 89. FIG. That is, when the door is closed, the convex portion approaches the bottom surface of the front pocket 88, and the same effect as described above can be obtained. At this time, if a convex part is provided in the vicinity of the front end of the storage chamber side of the bottom of the front pocket 88 and the storage chamber side behind the convex part is made to be an inclined surface or a curved surface that becomes lower toward the rear side, the cold air descending from above is more It can be smoothly guided backwards.

  In addition, a protruding portion 87 a disposed near the tip of the pocket support portion 85 is provided with a convex portion 87 c that protrudes toward the pocket support portion 85 below the pocket support portion 85. The lower end of the pocket support portion 85 has an arcuate curved outer edge in cross section. When the bottom surface of the storage pocket 93 is bent and rotated by the load of the stored item, the convex portion 87c comes into contact with the lower end of the pocket support portion 85.

  When the door 2a is closed, the storage pocket 93 is subjected to an upward force due to the impact, the deflection of the storage pocket 93 due to the impact or the reaction of the deflection. At this time, the convex part 87c engages with the pocket support part 85, and the raising of the storage pocket 93 is regulated. Therefore, the convex portion 87 c constitutes a restricting portion that restricts the rising of the storage pocket 93.

  In addition, when the stored item is not stored in the storage pocket 93, the convex portion 87c and the lower end of the pocket support portion 85 may contact each other. Instead of the convex portion 87c, an inclined surface may be provided on at least a part of the protruding portion 87a so that the lower portion approaches the pocket support portion 85 side. As a result, the inclined surface of the protrusion 87 a engages below the tip of the pocket support portion 85, thereby constituting a restricting portion that restricts the rising of the storage pocket 93.

  Further, when the recess 85a is provided below the front end of the pocket support portion 85, the bottom surface of the storage pocket 93 is bent and the convex portion 87c or the inclined surface is further deeply cut. As a result, the storage pocket 93 can be reliably prevented from rising, which is more desirable. In addition, you may make the downward surface of the front end surface of the pocket support part 85 into the inclined surface which consists of a plane or a curved surface.

  Further, a groove 83a is provided around the inside of the door 2a (for example, near the entire periphery of the door back 83), and a door packing 91 is fitted into the groove 83a. The door packing 91 includes a magnetized body 91a (for example, a magnetized particle obtained by kneading magnetized particles in a rubber resin) and adsorbs around the opening of the refrigerator compartment 2 made of a magnetic material. Thereby, the refrigerator compartment 2 is sealed.

  Further, the magnetized body 91a of the door packing 91 below the door 2a is provided below the groove 83a, and is a partition plate made of a magnetic body (for example, a color iron plate) disposed on the front surface of the partition portion 89 when the door is closed. It faces 92 and attracts and adheres to each other. Thereby, the distance between the lower surface of the door 2a on the door cap 84 side and the groove 83a can be increased, and heat entering the storage chamber side from the groove 83a can be reduced to improve the heat insulation.

  Further, the overlap between the door and the partition plate 92 is reduced, and the sealing property can be secured by the sticking by the magnetism 91a. As a result, it is not necessary to increase the vertical width of the partition plate 92 more than necessary, and the vertical thickness of the partition portion 89 can be minimized as required for heat insulation, improving the volumetric efficiency of each storage chamber. To help.

  In addition, by providing the groove 83a on the upper side, the space formed between the pocket support portion 85 and the partition portion 89 is increased. However, as described above, the heat entering the storage chamber side from the groove 83a is improved by improving the heat insulation. Can be reduced. Further, by lowering the bottom surface of the front pocket 88, branching of the cold air to the door 2a side is reduced and a part of the cold air flowing into the space is blocked. Thereby, the heat insulation is further improved. Moreover, since the space which can be formed between the pocket support part 85 and the partition part 89 becomes large and only a part of the front pocket 88 is close to the partition part 89, the door can be opened and closed smoothly and the door has good operability. Is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the storage pocket is divided into two stages in the front and rear, but may be divided into three or more stages. Further, the same effect as described above can be obtained by lowering the bottom surface of the rear pocket 87 closer to the front pocket 88 than the pocket support portion 85 in the same manner as the bottom surface of the front pocket 88. In this case, if a rib is provided on the inner side of the lower part of the rear pocket 87 to serve as a support and reinforcement for the stored item, the strength is further improved and the above effect is further improved.

  In the present application, the left or right direction refers to the corresponding left or right direction when viewed from the front of the refrigerator, and the front or rear direction refers to the corresponding front or rear direction when viewed from the front of the refrigerator. The direction means the corresponding upward or downward direction when viewed from the front of the refrigerator. However, for the door in the open state, the outer surface side of the door is the rear direction.

  The present invention can be used for a refrigerator having a storage pocket.
