Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The purpose is to provide a rib on the door cap to reduce the gap between the doors and to improve the appearance. [Structure] A rib 23 is provided on the lower portion of the front surface of the cap 14 below the freezer compartment door 11 to reduce the gap a between the refrigerator compartment door 12 and the refrigerator compartment door 12. In addition, a rib 23 is provided on the lower portion of the front surface of the cap 16 at the lower portion of the refrigerating compartment door to reduce the gap b with the vegetable compartment door 13.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an electric refrigerator, and more particularly, to a door structure that improves the appearance of doors.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a conventional electric refrigerator is provided with a freezer compartment, a refrigerator compartment, and a vegetable compartment in a main body 1, and a freezer compartment door 2, a refrigerator compartment door 3, and a front compartment of each compartment. Each door of the vegetable compartment door 4 is provided. Caps 6 are attached to the upper and lower ends of each door, for example, handles are provided on the lower end of the freezer compartment door 2 and the upper cap 6 of the refrigerating compartment door 3, for example. A hinge 7 is provided on the main body 1, and the freezer compartment door 2 and the refrigerator compartment door 3 are pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable. Although not shown, the vegetable compartment door 4 is mounted so that it can be pulled out by a rail provided on the main body 1. As described above, since the doors are pivotally supported by the hinges 7, there is a problem that the gaps 8 between the doors are inevitably increased and the aesthetic appearance is impaired. Therefore, it is conceivable to make the gap 8 smaller, but there is a limit to the gap between the hinge 7 and the packing of the door, and if it is forcibly narrowed, the gap between the packing 5 and the hinge 6 becomes narrow and the hinge is opened and closed when the door is opened and closed. There is a problem that the packing 7 breaks when the packing 7 breaks the packing 5.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a rib on a cap of a door to reduce a gap between the doors and improve the appearance.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a door provided at the front of each room such as a freezing room, a refrigerating room, a vegetable room, etc., which is provided with upper and lower caps, is opened and closed by a hinge provided on the main body. In an electric refrigerator that is installed so that it can be pulled out from a support or a main body, a rib extending to the other cap is provided on one of the caps of the opposed doors to reduce the gap between the doors.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the rib provided on the lower portion of the cap of the freezer compartment door can reduce the gap between the upper portion of the refrigerator compartment door and the rib provided on the lower portion of the refrigerator compartment door cap. The gap with the upper part of the room door can be reduced.

[0006]

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a main body, which is provided with a freezing compartment, a refrigerating compartment, and a vegetable compartment in order from the top. Each door is provided. In addition, caps are attached to the upper and lower ends of each door. That is, a cap 14 is provided above and below the freezer compartment door 11, a cap 15 is above the refrigeration compartment door 12, a cap 16 is below it, and a cap 17 is above and below the vegetable compartment door 13. It is installed. A packing 18 for holding cold air is attached to the back surface of each door. 19 and 21 are hinges for opening and closing the freezer compartment door 11 and the refrigerator compartment door 12, which are fixed to the front surface of the main body 1 and rotatably support the upper and lower ends of the doors. One end of the hinge 19 is fixed to the front surface of the main body 10, and a shaft 20 provided above and below the other end pivotally supports the freezing compartment door 11 and the refrigeration compartment door 12. One end of the hinge 21 is fixed to the front surface of the main body 10, and a shaft 22 provided at the upper end of the other end pivotally supports the refrigerating compartment door 12. On the other hand, the lower cap 14 of the freezer compartment door 11 facing the upper cap 15 of the refrigerating compartment door 12 and the lower cap 16 of the refrigerating compartment door 11 facing the upper cap 17 of the vegetable compartment door 13 have the other cap at the lower end. A rib 23 extending to the bottom is provided. In this case, by providing the notch 24 on the hinge side, the rib 23 can avoid contact with the hinge when the door is opened and closed. Due to the ribs 23, the gap a between the freezer compartment door 11 and the refrigerating compartment door 12 and the gap b between the refrigerating compartment door 12 and the vegetable compartment door 13 are apparently narrower than before and the appearance is improved. The rib 23 may be provided on the upper ends of the caps 15 and 17, and the same effect can be obtained.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the present invention, ribs are provided on the cap and the like to narrow the gap between the doors, so that the appearance can be improved, and the shape of the hinge, the mounting structure, and the dimensions of the packing can be achieved without any change. Have the advantage that
