Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is based on a part located above the bottom of the inside of the refrigerator, such as a raised part in the refrigerator body, and an upper opening on the bottom of the partition plate that divides the inside of the refrigerator into upper and lower parts. In the refrigerator, a vegetable container is provided that can be freely pulled out forward and has a bottom wall that is arranged close to each other and has a bottom wall that substantially follows the shape of the bottom surface of the refrigerator interior, and the bottom wall of the vegetable container has a shape that follows the elevated part. This prevents vegetables and fruits stored on the elevated part of the vegetable container from falling into the deep front part of the vegetable container and being damaged when the vegetable container is pulled out or stored. The purpose of this invention is to prevent this and to make it convenient since the elevated part of the vegetable container is located at the back and it is inconvenient to store and take out vegetables etc. from that part.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator body, and the inside of the refrigerator is divided by a partition plate 2 into an upper chamber 3 and a lower chamber 4.

At the rear of the bottom of the chamber interior of the lower chamber 4, there is a lower mechanical chamber 5 of the main body 1.
An elevated portion 7 is formed at the inner rear portion to provide an area for installing an electric compressor 6 for the refrigeration system.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a vegetable container which is housed in the lower chamber 4 and can be pulled out front and rear by placing rail members 9 attached to the left and right side walls on rollers 10 attached to the left and right side walls of the chamber, and the top opening is a partition. The bottom wall 8A is kept close to the lower surface of the plate 2 and substantially closed by the partition plate 2, and the bottom wall 8A has a similar shape substantially along the bottom surface of the refrigerator interior, forming an elevated portion 8B at the rear.

Reference numeral 11 designates a container for small items, which has an outlet for taking out articles on its upper surface and has a size that substantially occupies an area above the elevated part 8B. Flanges 12, which serve as locking portions at the left and right upper ends, are attached to the upper surfaces of the left and right side walls of the vegetable container 8. It is placed so that it can freely slide in the front and rear directions.

At the rear of the left and right side walls of the vegetable container 8, a recess 13 is formed into which the left and right flanges 12, which are locking parts, fall so that the small container 11 is stopped and held at that position when it is located in the area above the elevated part 8B. .

The depth of the recess is formed so that when the flange 12 falls into the recess 13, the upper surface of the flange 12 is approximately flush with the upper surfaces of the left and right side walls of the vegetable container 8. Since the top opening is also closed, cold air is extremely restricted from entering and exiting not only the vegetable container 8 but also the accessory container 11, thereby protecting the vegetables and the like in these containers from drying out.

In order to more fully protect the vegetables from drying, the partition plate 2 is formed with hanging ribs '2A close to the outer surfaces of the upper ends of the left and right and rear walls of the vegetable container 8.

The present invention stores vegetables and the like deeper into the vegetable container than in the case where vegetables and fruits are directly stored in the upper area of the rear part of the vegetable container 8 located above the bottom surface by using the bark as described above. It is easy to store, small items can be stored separately in the vegetable container, the rear space of this kind of vegetable container can be effectively used, and it is suitable for storing easily damaged fruits etc. while protecting them from drying.

Further, even when the vegetable container is pulled out or stored, the small container does not move back and forth significantly, and the movement of the small container does not damage the fruits and vegetables stored in front of the vegetable container.

Furthermore, since the small container can be pulled forward together with the vegetable container, there is no need for a separate device to support only the small container inside the refrigerator.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

...Accessory container, 13...Recess.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In the refrigerator main body, a part located above the bottom surface is formed at the rear of the bottom surface of the refrigerator, and the top opening is close to the bottom surface of a partition plate that partitions the inside of the refrigerator into upper and lower chambers, so that the bottom wall has the shape of the bottom surface of the refrigerator interior. In a refrigerator having a substantially contoured vegetable container that can be freely pulled out forward, a small container is provided with locking portions at the upper left and right ends of the vegetable container so as to be slidable in the front and rear directions on the left and right side walls of the vegetable container, The upper ends of the left and right side walls of the vegetable container are arranged such that the accessory container is stopped and held in an upper region of a portion located above the bottom wall formed on the bottom wall of the vegetable container corresponding to the upper portion. The refrigerator has a recessed portion into which the locking portions at the left and right upper ends fall.
