Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the breakdown of a refrigerator and the variability of temperatures in the refrigerator, which are due to the forgetting of the closing of a partitioning door, and obtain the refrigerator excellent in the performance thereof by a method wherein the refrigerator is provided with a connecting rod supporting boss, regulating the moving range of the connecting rod provided on the partitioning wall of a side surface, and a door rack, formed with a flange toward the inside of the refrigerator. CONSTITUTION:When a partitioning door 9 is opened, a connecting rod 14 is stopped when the boss 18 of the connecting rod 14 is moved through a long hole 19 as a guide and the boss 18 is abutted against the end of the long hole 19. When a refrigerator door 26 is closed, a flange 2, formed toward the inside of the refrigerator, snaps the partitioning door 9 up while the partitioning door 9 is moved by the elastic force of a spring 16, hooked to the connecting rod 14 of the door 9, by the guide of the long hole 19 and the partitioning door 9 is closed automatically. The refrigerator, excellent in performance and capable of preventing the breakdown of the partitioning door 9 by the door rack 1 formed with the flange 2 toward the inside of the refrigerator, can be manufactured in such a manner.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a refrigerator equipped with a compartment and a compartment door, and relates to preventing damage to the compartment door and improving airtightness between the inside and outside of the refrigerator. .

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional refrigerator equipped with this type of compartment door is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-99085.

This conventional refrigerator is provided with a connecting rod that connects to the compartment door in a compartment provided with a compartment door, and a spring whose one end is fixed to the connecting rod and the other end is fixed to a side compartment wall forming the compartment. The connecting rod body was supported by a hole for connecting to the door and a boss provided on the side partition wall, and had a long length that moved using the boss as a guide.

When opening the compartment door, the boss provided on the side compartment wall and the end of the elongated hole come into contact with the connecting rod to stop it.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned conventional refrigerator with a compartment door, the connecting rod stops when the compartment door is opened, so if the refrigerator door is closed with the compartment door open, the compartment door will be damaged. There was a point.

The object of the present invention is to provide a door shelf for a refrigerator which solves all the problems of the conventional refrigerators with compartment doors and prevents the compartment doors from being damaged.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a compartment, a group of compartments attached to the front compartment rod, a spring attached at one end to the side compartment wall, and a spring connected to the spring. A connecting rod whose other end passes through the front partition frame and is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the partition group, and a long hole in the connecting rod provided in the side partition wall for regulating the movement range of the connecting rod. It consists of a boss for supporting a connecting rod that is made of ocher inside, and a door shelf that has a brim facing inward into the refrigerator.

In other words, since the door shelf has a brim that faces inward into the refrigerator, even if the refrigerator door is closed with the compartment group open, the brim will open before the refrigerator door and the compartment group come into contact. You can jump the group.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings of FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, 1 is a door shelf, which has a flange 2 formed toward the inside of the refrigerator. Reference numeral 3 denotes a box body, and this box body 3 includes side partition walls 4, bottom partition walls 6, hollow four-sided partition frames 6, top partition walls 7, and a partition group 9 to form a compartment 1o. A protrusion 11 protrudes from the lower side of the compartment group 9 and is inserted into and supported by a protrusion receiver 12 protruding forward from the front compartment frame 6. Further, a protrusion 13 is provided on the opposite side of the support portion consisting of the protrusion 11 and the protrusion receiver 12, and is hooked onto one end of the connecting rod 14. A hole 16 is provided at the other end of the connecting rod 14, and the connecting rod 14 is hooked onto a spring 16.

This spring 16 is supported by a boss 17 provided on the side partition wall 4. In addition, the connecting rod 14 is connected to a boss 1 provided on the side partition wall 4.
The connecting rod 14 has an elongated hole 19 that moves using the post 18 as a guide. Further, a hole 2o is formed in the front partition frame 6 for passing the connecting rod 14 therethrough. 21 is the refrigerator body, outer box 22, inner box 23
A foamed heat insulating material 24 is filled between these two boxes. 25 is a box inside the door, and 26 is a refrigerator door.

The operation of the refrigerator configured as above will be explained below.

When opening the compartment group 9, the elongated hole 19 of the connecting rod 14 is inserted into the post 18.
When the connecting rod 14 moves as a full guide and the end of the elongated hole 19 comes into contact with the post 18, the connecting rod 14 stops. Next, when the refrigerator door 2ey is closed,
A groove 2 formed on the front surface of the door shelf 1 toward the inside of the refrigerator flips up the compartment group 9, and the compartment group 9 is caused by the elastic force of the spring 16 hooked on the connecting bolt 14 to cause the elongated hole 19 to lift the post 18. It moves as a guide and section #9 is automatically closed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, an excellent refrigerator that can prevent the compartment group from being damaged is created by the door shelf having a brim facing inward into the refrigerator.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a compartment group attached to a compartment and a front compartment frame, a spring having one end attached to a side compartment wall, and one end connected to the spring and the other end attached to the front compartment frame. a connecting rod that penetrates through and is rotatably connected to the opposite support side of the group of compartments, and a connecting rod support that protrudes into a long hole of the connecting rod that restricts the movement range of the connecting rod provided in the side compartment wall. With the boss and the door shelf with a brim facing inward into the refrigerator, if you forget to close the compartment group and close the refrigerator door, the brim can flip up the compartment group and cause it to close automatically.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage caused by forgetting to close the compartment door and uneven temperature caused by forgetting to close the compartment door when the temperature of the compartment is different from the inside of the refrigerator.Furthermore, the brim also prevents heat transfer between the inside and outside of the refrigerator, improving performance. It is also possible to create an excellent refrigerator.
