Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a vegetable storage container that can be inserted into and removed from a refrigerator or the like.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, there have been refrigerators with removable vegetable storage containers for storing vegetables, etc.
Since the storage container has a large volume, if vegetable waste accumulates or adheres to the inside of the container, the vegetable storage container must be removed from the refrigerator body one by one and cleaned, resulting in very poor workability. It was hot.

〔the purpose〕

The present invention improves the cleaning efficiency of the vegetable storage container by making the waste container removably attached to the bottom of the vegetable storage container.

〔Example〕

1 is a 3-door type refrigerator-freezer main unit, which is divided into a freezer compartment, a refrigerator compartment, and a vegetable storage compartment from the top, and the front openings of these three compartments are equipped with insulating doors 2,
3 and 4 are pivotally connected so that they can be opened and closed. Reference numeral 5 denotes a top-open container body which is removably inserted into the vegetable storage chamber and is made of synthetic resin and has the heat insulating door 4 attached to its front part.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a recess integrally molded at the front bottom of the container body 5, and a protrusion 7 is integrally provided in the center of the bottom.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a dust container which is removably inserted into the recess 6, and a protruding tube 9 which fits loosely onto the protruding portion 7 is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the dust container 8, and a flexible fin portion 10 which fits closely to the outer periphery of the recess 6 is formed on the outer periphery of the dust container 8. By fitting closely to the outer periphery of the recess 6, the fin portion 10 prevents fine dust, water, etc. from flowing into the recess 6 through the gap between the recess 6 and the dust container 8.

Reference numeral 11 designates a lid body for closing the upper opening of the waste container 8, and a fitting cylinder part 12 is formed in the center of the back surface of the lid body to fit into the projection part 7 through the projection cylinder 9. There are small holes 13 and 1 on both sides of the fitting cylinder part 12 for inserting fingers when opening and closing the lid.
3 is drilled. The lid 11 is flush with the bottom surface of the container body 5 in a state in which the top opening of the waste receiving container 8 is closed.

Note that 14 is a reinforcing and guiding rib protruding from the back surface of the lid 11, and 15 and 16 are ventilation holes formed in the front edge and side wall of the container body 5.

Therefore, under normal conditions, it is sufficient to insert the waste container 8 into the recess 6 as shown in FIG. In such a case, after opening the lid 11 and storing the debris in the container body 5 in the debris container 8, the debris container 8 may be removed from the recess 6 of the container body 5. At this time, the protruding cylinder 9 of the waste container 8 becomes a knob for removal.

〔effect〕

In the present invention, a recess is formed at the bottom of the container main body with an open top, and a waste container with a lid can be attached to and removed from the recess, so when it is desired to clean the inside of the container main body, a wiping cloth or the like can be used to clean the inside of the container. The remarkable effect is that the vegetable storage container has a simple structure and is extremely easy to clean, by collecting garbage such as vegetable scraps in the garbage container while wiping, and then taking out the garbage container from the recess and throwing it away. It is something that can be played.
