JPS60611Y2 - Storage container loading/unloading device - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container loading/unloading device for a storage, for example, a type in which a small door is provided separately on the door of a freezer compartment, and an ice storage box or the like is advanced or retreated as the small door is opened or closed.

In this type of conventional ice storage box, the engaging member protruding into the freezing chamber of the small ice storage box removal door that opens toward the front with the lower end as a fulcrum and the engaging portion of the ice storage box are integrally formed with the ice storage box.

Therefore, when the ice storage box is placed in the normal position in the freezer compartment before being pulled out, and the small door opens laterally with one end as a fulcrum and is then closed, the engagement provided on the small door The member hits the engaging portion of the ice storage box due to its trajectory, making it impossible to close the small door.

Therefore, it is necessary to open the freezer compartment door once, close the small door to the freezer compartment layer at a position where the protruding engagement member of the small door does not hit the engaged part of the ice storage box, and then close the freezer compartment door. It was extremely complicated.

The present invention solves the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional examples.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a heat insulating box that constitutes a refrigerator-freezer.
2 is a freezing room.

In the freezer compartment 2, an ice tray 3 is placed on a shelf 3a, and below the ice tray 3, an ice storage box 4 is placed so as to be slidable on a support stand 5 fixed in the freezer compartment 2.

The ice storage box 4 is composed of an engaged portion 6A that is movable only toward the ice storage box 4 side, and an ice storage box main body 6B.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a layer for a freezer compartment that can be opened laterally using one end as a fulcrum, and has a small door 9 that can be opened and closed toward the front using a lower end as a fulcrum independently of this layer 8 for a freezer compartment.

This small door 9 has an engaging member 10 provided so as to protrude into the freezing chamber.

The engaging member 10 protruding from the small door 9 moves circularly around the support point 11 of the small door 9, and the movable engaged portion of the ice storage box 4 follows the trajectory of the engaging member 10. The ice storage box 4 is placed on the support stand 5 such that the ice storage box 4 is located at the same position.

When the small door 9 is opened, the engaging member 10 protruding from the small door 9 is caught on the engaged portion 6A of the ice storage box 4 located on the trajectory of the engaging member 10, and the engaging member 10 According to the movement of the ice storage box 4, the support stand 5 is moved,
A part of the ice storage box 4 can be pulled out outside the freezer compartment 3.

Furthermore, when the small door 9 is closed, the engaging member 10 pushes the engaged portion 6A of the ice storage box 4, rotates as shown by the dotted line, and climbs over.
As the small door 9 is closed, the ice storage box 4 is pushed into the freezer compartment 3. When the small door 9 is completely closed, the ice storage box 4 returns to its normal position on the support stand 5, and ice can be stored simply by opening and closing the small door 9. The box 4 can be taken in and out of the freezer compartment 3.

In the embodiment, the ice storage box is taken in and taken out by opening and closing the small door, but the invention is not limited to this, and the invention can also be used as a storage container in a refrigerator room.

In this way, the present invention includes an engaging member protruding from a small door, a container that can be freely entered and exited into a storage chamber that is closed by a storage room door having a small door, and a container that is engaged with the engaging member. and an engaged part provided so that the container is pulled out when the small door is opened, and the engaged part is rotatable toward the container so that the engaging member escapes when the small door is closed. Since this is set, even if the storage room door is closed while the small door is left open, the small door can be closed as is, reducing the number of openings and closings of the storage room door and minimizing the temperature rise in the storage room. This has the effect of further improving usability.
