The central pillar of the refrigerator described in the publication (i) and the central pillar of the double door for a refrigerator described in the publication (ii) are rotatably provided with respect to the door. Rather than that, the sealing surface is always fixed in a fixed direction, so there is a restriction on the opening and closing order of the left and right doors (that is, one of the doors with the center pillar is closed first, and then the other door is closed). There is a restriction such as having to close it, or opening the other door first and then opening the one door with the middle pillar installed.) If this happens, there was a problem that the center pillar hits the other door and damages the other door. In addition, due to the above-mentioned restrictions, the opening / closing operation of the door on the side that does not need to be opened for the operation of taking in / out the food is performed, so that the amount of outside air flowing into the storage chamber increases, and the temperature inside the storage chamber unnecessarily rises. Could not be maintained at a desired temperature, and there was a risk that the temperature would rise and the quality of food would be impaired.

Moves clockwise while hitting the curved surface 9A of the first guide portion 9, so that the partition body 17 rotates clockwise to the position as shown in FIG. 5 against the repulsive force of the other end 19A of the coil spring 19. The gasket 12A is separated from the contact surface (that is, the front surface) of the partition body 17. When the door 7A is further opened and the angle between the extension line of the first support arm 14 and the second support arm 15 reaches about 15 °, the other end 1 of the coil spring 19 is reached.
Since 9A is located at the corner P2, if the door 7A is further opened beyond this corner P2, the partition body 17 is rotated clockwise by the repulsive force applied to the other end 19A of the coil spring 19, and the door is closed. 7A, stop at the position as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. Therefore, when the door 7A is opened until the angle formed by the extension line of the first support arm 14 and the second support arm 15 becomes about 15 ° or less, the repulsive force of the coil spring 19 easily rotates the door 7A in the opening direction.

According to the present invention, the partition body pivotally supported on the back surface of the non-pivotal side portion of one door changes its direction in response to the opening / closing operation of this one door (that is, the partition body). To move to one of the doors, or to move a part of the partition body to the side of the one door). The other door does not get in the way, and there is no need to open and close the double doors. In particular, when one of the doors is closed, a part of the partition body protrudes to the side of this door so that the front surface of the partition body becomes the contact surface of the seal member located on the non-pivotal side of the double door. If configured, it is not necessary to previously attach a partition member for contacting the seal member located on the non-pivotal side of the double door to the heat insulating box, and the partition member can narrow the storage space of the refrigerator. Moreover, the entire opening of the heat insulating box can be used as a food inlet / outlet port, which improves the usability of the refrigerator. In addition, there is no problem that the contact state becomes insufficient or the airtightness is impaired due to friction between the seal members as in the related art.
