Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a personal type refrigerator with vertically opening and closing doors, which is used in a limited space such as a one-room apartment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, small refrigerators have been installed as personal types in space rooms such as one-room apartments, and adjacent to furniture.

Bottles for juice and other beverages are being used more frequently.

A conventional example will be described below with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator main body, which is divided by a partition wall 2 into a freezing compartment 3 in the upper part and a refrigerating compartment 4 in the lower part. A freezer compartment door 5 and a refrigerator compartment door 6 are attached to the main body 1 on the front side of the freezer compartment 3 and the refrigerator compartment 4, respectively. It is attached rotatably about the side by means of a middle hinge 8 and a lower hinge 9.

In the above configuration, the freezer compartment door 6 and the refrigerator compartment door 6 are located on the right side of each door with the line connecting the upper hinge 7, middle hinge 8, and lower hinge 9, that is, the center line a in FIG. It can be opened to the right with the center at the center.

However, with the above configuration, if furniture, etc. is installed adjacent to the right side of the main body 1, when the freezer compartment door 6 and the refrigerator compartment door 6 are opened, the furniture, etc. may come into contact and be damaged, or may come into contact with the furniture, etc. If you try to open the door without opening it, the door will not open much and the food in the room will be taken out.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the refrigerator compartment main body 1° is divided into upper and lower halves, and the lower part is divided into the refrigerator compartment 11. The upper chamber is further divided into two on the left and right by a partition wall 12, and one of the chambers is used as an ice making room 13.
The other room is arranged as a freezer room 14, and the front of each room has doors 15, 16.1 that open up and down centering on the bottom side.
7, and the front door 16 of the refrigerator compartment 11 has a U-shaped shelf 18 for storing pins, so that even when the door is installed adjacent to furniture etc., when the door is opened, To provide a refrigerator that does not come into contact with furniture, etc., and has a large door opening that is easy to use.

However, in the above configuration, the door 16 attached to the front of the refrigerator compartment 11 is opened and beer is poured.

When putting in and out pins and bottles of juice etc.

Pins and bottles may hit the U-shaped shelf 18.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, since the freezer compartment door and the refrigerator compartment door open centering on the right side, they may come into contact with adjacent furniture, etc., or attempt to open without contacting the door. Then, the opening degree of IRl was small, and the food in the room was taken out.Also, if each door was opened up and down, pins and bottles for beer, juice, etc. could be attached to the doors. The problem was that the U-shaped shelf would cause impact cracking when it hit the U-shaped bottle shelf.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems.The present invention is designed to solve the above-mentioned problems.When opening the door, even if it is adjacent to furniture, etc., the door does not come into contact with the furniture, etc., and the opening degree of the door is large. To provide a refrigerator capable of preventing impact cracking of U-shaped shelves.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a U-shaped structure that includes a door that opens and closes up and down centering on the lower side on the front side of the refrigerator body, and that pins and the like are stored inside the door compartment. A door inner plate having a shelf is attached, and a convex part having approximately the same width and the same height is integrally molded on the upper part of the back part of the U-shaped shelf of the front i inner plate.

Function: The structure of the present invention allows each field to be opened up and down centering on the lower side, so even if it is placed next to furniture, it will not come into contact with the door, and the opening degree of the door is large, making it easy to use for food storage, etc.
In addition, since the inner plate of the door of the refrigerator compartment is formed with a convex portion at the top of the U-shaped shelf, pins, bottles, etc. are guided by the convex portion when putting in and taking out pins and bottles, and the back side of the U-shaped shelf To provide a refrigerator which can prevent impact cracking of the back surface of the refrigerator.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. Reference numeral 19 denotes a refrigerator main body, which is divided into upper and lower halves by a partition wall 20, and a refrigerating chamber 21 is arranged in the lower part.

Further, the upper chamber is divided into left and right sides by the partition wall 20, and one chamber is divided into an ice making chamber 22 and the other chamber is divided into a freezing chamber 23. A freezer compartment door 24, an ice making compartment J125, and a refrigerator compartment door 2e are attached to the front of the freezing compartment 23, the ice making compartment 22, and the refrigerating compartment 21, respectively. Each of these fields is pivotally mounted around the lower side of the door so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction by a hinge 27. 28 is a gasket and is the refrigerator compartment door 2
6 and the main body 19 are sealed. 29 is a heat insulating material filled in the space between the door inner panel 30 and the door outer panel 31.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a U-shaped shelf having a back surface 33 facing the door inner plate 30 for storing pins, etc., and is attached to the door inner plate 3°. Reference numeral 34 denotes a convex portion integrally formed on the upper portion of the back surface portion 33 of the U-shaped shelf 32 of the door inner plate 3o to have approximately the same width and the same height as the back surface portion. A stopper 36 has one end attached to the refrigerator compartment 21 and the other end to the refrigerator compartment door 26 to connect the inside of the refrigerator compartment 21 and the refrigerator compartment door 26, and is attached so that the refrigerator compartment door 26 has a predetermined rotation angle. ing.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained. Refrigerator door 2
6 toward you, the refrigerator compartment door 26 will open in the inward direction around the hinge 27 due to its own weight, and within a predetermined opening/closing angle, the stopper 34 will work and stop the door from opening, and the opposite will occur when closing the main body 19. Even if the refrigerator compartment door 26 is installed adjacent to furniture or the like, when the door is opened, the refrigerator door 26 opens wide without coming into contact with the furniture or the like.

Moreover, the U-shaped shelf 32 of the door inner plate 30 inside the refrigerator compartment door 26
Since a convex part 34 is formed on the upper part of the back part 33 of the U-shaped shelf 3, the pins and bottles of juice, beer, etc. are guided by the convex part 34 when putting in and taking out pins and bottles of juice, beer, etc.
This prevents impact cracking of the back surface 33 without hitting the back surface 33 of No. 2.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention allows the refrigerator door, which is located particularly at the bottom of the refrigerator body, to be opened and closed at a predetermined rotation angle around the lower side, making it easy to use for food storage, etc. The pins and bottles for beer, juice, etc. are guided by a convex part integrally molded on the inner panel of the door, and the pins and bottles hit the end surface of the back of the U-shaped shelf. It is possible to prevent impact cracking of the back surface without causing any damage.
