Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a refrigerator which further includes an auxiliary door in addition to the door provided at the front opening of the refrigerator main body.

In other words, every time you open the refrigerator door, cold air leaks (or warm air enters) inside the refrigerator, which has a negative impact on stored items, and increases the operating rate of the compressor, which increases the amount of electricity used. Therefore, it is known to provide an auxiliary door in addition to the door that allows access to only the necessary items.

The present invention relates to the improvement of a refrigerator having such an auxiliary door, and in particular, it is made so that stored items in the main door located on the auxiliary door side can be easily taken out.An example of the invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. do.

In the figure, 1 indicates the refrigerator main body, and the front opening of the main body 1 has an upper hinge 2. Middle hinge 3. Freezer compartment □5. A refrigerator compartment main door 6 (hereinafter referred to as the main door) is attached so as to be openable and closable.

The main door 6 consists of an outer panel I, an inner panel 8, and a bulge 10 integrally formed on both sides of the inner panel 80 for supporting a shelf or the like, which will be described later.

Reference numeral 11 denotes an outlet defined by a decorative frame 12 that connects both plates 1 and 8 to approximately the lower half of the main door 6, and has an opening width approximately equal to the width between the left and right bulges 10.

The lower end of the outlet 11 is pivotally connected to the outlet 11 by a hinge 13.
An auxiliary door 14 whose upper end opens and closes is provided, and like the main door 6, this auxiliary door 14 also has an outer panel 15, a white board 16, and a heat insulating material 1.
Consists of 7.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a gasket provided on the periphery of the back surface of the auxiliary door 14, which contacts the stepped portion 12a formed on the decorative frame 12 to seal it.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a storage shelf formed into a box shape with an open top by combining wire rods, and is located at the lower part of the outlet 11 opposite to the outlet 11, and is rotated by the bins 20 in the left and right bulges 10. It is freely supported.

The bin 20 serving as a pivot point is located on the return hot water 14 side from the center of gravity P of the storage shelf 19, and therefore the upper opening of the storage shelf 19 is supported so as to always be inclined toward the door 14 side.

A crosspiece 19a on the door side of the storage shelf 19 is inclined at a predetermined angle from the lower part toward the door side, thereby widening the upper opening.

On the other hand, the inner plate 16 of the auxiliary door 14 facing the tip of this crosspiece 19a has a recess 16a for storing the tip, and a recess 16a for storing the tip.
A convex portion 16b for holding the storage shelf 19 in a vertical state is formed within the housing 6a.

Therefore, when it is desired to take out the bottle A stored in the storage shelf 19, if the auxiliary door 14 is opened without opening the main door 6, the storage shelf 19 will fall toward the door due to its own weight (FIG. 3).

At this time, since the crosspiece 19a is inclined, the bin A is also inclined along this inclination by an angle greater than the inclination angle of the storage shelf 19.

(Indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 3) That is, the bin A can be easily taken out without opening the auxiliary door 14 wide because it faces the takeout port 11 at an angle higher than the storage shelf 19.

Furthermore, even when the main door 6 is opened and the bottle A is taken out, it can be easily taken out by rotating the storage shelf 14 in the opposite direction.

Furthermore, the shelf 14 can be provided close to the □ side due to the recess 16a of the inner plate 16, so that the internal volume of the refrigerator is not reduced.

As is clear from the above description, the refrigerator of the present invention includes a main door attached to the front opening of the main unit so that it can be opened and closed freely, a storage shelf for storing bottles etc. that is rotatably supported inside the main door, and a storage shelf for storing bottles etc. It consists of an auxiliary □ that is freely openable and closable at the outlet drilled in the main door facing the storage shelf, and the pivot portion of the storage shelf is located on the return side of the center of gravity of the storage shelf. Since the convex portion formed on the storage shelf is held in contact with the sloped portion formed on the surface facing the door side of the storage shelf, items stored in the storage shelf, such as bottles, can be taken out simply by opening the auxiliary door. There is no leakage of cold air, and in addition to the slope of the housing shelf, the slope of the door side allows the stored items to slope onto the shelf board, making it extremely easy to take out. The recesses formed opposite each other can prevent a reduction in the internal volume of the refrigerator.
