Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door device for a refrigerator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, centerless specifications of refrigerators have been sold for home use or business use. A conventional door device for a refrigerator or the like in such a centerless specification is shown in FIG.
And it demonstrates with reference to FIG.

4 and 5 showing a conventional refrigerator door device, the heat insulating box 1 is made up of a heat insulating body in which a heat insulating wall 4 made of a foaming heat insulating material is interposed between an outer box 2 and an inner box 3. The front opening has a first door 6A and a second door 6B each having a handle 5, and both doors 6A,
A gasket 7 is provided on the periphery of the back surface of 6B. On the back surface of the non-pivotal side portion of the first door 6A, the pin 9 is pivoted to the second door 6B side to enter the inside of the refrigerator along with the closing operation of the first door 6A. When 6A is open, the first door 6A
The rotary partition body 8 that pivots to the side is fixed. A compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan and the like are housed and installed in the upper part of the heat insulating box 1, and an evaporator, an evaporator fan and the like are provided in the upper surface of the inner box 3.

The operation of the door device of the refrigerator constructed as above will be described below.

Since the inside of the heat-insulating box 1 is cooled by a cooling system such as a compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan, etc., the food stored in the inside of the heat-insulating box 1 has the first door 6A or the second door 6A.
It is taken in and out by opening and closing the door 6B.

When the first door 6A is closed, as shown in FIG. 4, the rotary partition 8 is rotated toward the second door 6B to enhance the heat retaining effect, and the first door 6A is opened. When, the first door 6
The rotary partition 8 does not rotate to the A side so as not to obstruct the loading and unloading of food.

[0007]

In the conventional refrigerator door device, when the food is taken in and out with the first door 6A opened and the second door 6B closed, the rotary partition 8 comes into contact with the food or the like. When the first and second doors 6A and 8B project from the end of the first door 6A as shown in FIG. 5, the main body of the second door 6B is damaged or the second partition 6B is damaged. 8 had a problem that it was damaged.

According to the present invention, when the door is in the open state, food is applied to the rotary partition to rotate and project from the end of the door.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator door device in which other doors and rotary partition bodies are not damaged even if the door is closed as it is.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, in the refrigerator door device of the present invention, when the door is closed with the rotary partition body protruding from the end portion of the door, the rotary partition body becomes the other side. It comes in contact with the handle of the door.

[0010]

In the refrigerator door device of the present invention configured as described above, even when the door is closed with the rotary partition protruding from the end of the door, the rotary partition contacts the handle. Thus, the door and the rotary partition can be prevented from being scratched or damaged.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a door device for a refrigerator according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a heat-insulating box body, which is constituted by a heat-insulating wall 4 in which a foaming heat-insulating material is interposed between an outer box 2 and an inner box 3, and a handle 5 is provided at the front opening. The first door 6A and the second door 6B having the above are pivotally supported in a double-opening manner so as to be openable and closable, and a gasket 7 is provided on the back surface peripheral edges of both doors 6A and 6B. On the back surface of the non-pivotal side portion of the first door 6A, with the pin 9 as an axis in association with the closing operation of the first door 6A,
As shown in FIG. 1, it has a rotary partitioning body 8 that pivots to the side of the second door 6B and enters the inside of the refrigerator. When the second door 6B is in the closed state, when the first partition 6A is in the closed state while the rotary partition 8 remains protruding from the end of the first door 6A, the rotary partition 8
Of the second door 6B and the back surface of the
The protrusion length of the rotary partition body 8 is determined, or the installation position of the handle 5 is determined.

A compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan and the like are provided on the upper part of the heat insulating box 1, and an evaporator, an evaporator fan and the like are provided on the upper surface of the inner box 3.

The operation of the refrigerator door device configured as described above will be described below.

The inside of the heat-insulating box 1 is cooled by a cooling system such as a compressor, a condenser, a fan for the condenser, etc., and the food stored in the inside of the refrigerator is opened and closed by the first door 6A and the second door 6B. It is taken in and out by. When the first door 6A is opened, the rotary partitioning body 8 provided on the back surface of the non-pivotal side portion of the first door 6A is rotated simultaneously with the opening operation of the first door 6A.
As shown in, it rotates to the first door 6A side. When food is taken in and out in this state, the food or the like rotates around the rotary partition body 8 and the rotary partition body 8 remains protruding from the end of the first door 6A as shown in FIG. When the first door 6A is closed while the door is closed, the back surface of the rotary partition body 8 comes into contact with the handle 5 of the second door 6B which is in the closed state and contacts the main body of the second door 6B. I did not try to do it.

When the rotary partition body 8 does not protrude from the end of the first door 6A, the rotary partition body 8 is the first door 6A.
When it abuts against the pin 9 due to the closing operation of, the pin 9 rotates about the pin 9 toward the second door 6B.

[0017]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is configured as described above, the door body may be closed even when the rotary partition body comes into contact with food or the like and projects from the door even when the door is closed. There is no damage or damage to the rotating partition, and even if the handle is damaged, it is easy to replace this part and the serviceability will be good.
