Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a refrigerator equipped with independent pull-out containers.

The structure of the conventional example and its problems As shown in Fig. 1, the conventional refrigerator a has independent pull-out containers b, which separate and store vegetables, etc.
For those with c, the front opening d of the refrigerator body
A U-shaped frame g with one end fixed to the back surface f of the door body e, which is the front plate for opening and closing, is fixed to the U-shaped frame g, and is slidable on a fixed rail h with rollers provided on the refrigerator body. It is equipped with a large container c. The small container b is placed between the partition wall i that bridges the front opening provided in the refrigerator body and the lid j that partitions the inside of the refrigerator body.
The structure includes a rail k that supports and guides the sliding part of the refrigerator, and the front surface of the small container is closed by a door e integrated with the large container c, so the small container b is located inside the front surface of the refrigerator. In this case, when the door e is pulled out and the large container c is pulled out, the small container b is below the human line of sight, so it is difficult to see due to the shadow of the door e and the partition wall i above, and the front surface of the small container b is teeth,
Because it was flat, it had the disadvantage of being difficult to take out.
In addition, when pulling out the device, it is necessary to place the hand from below and pull it out, which has the disadvantage of poor operability.

Purpose of the invention The present invention is designed so that when the lower large container is pulled out, the upper small container is pulled out by a predetermined distance from the front of the refrigerator, making it easier to see its presence, and a handle is attached to the upper surface of the front of the small container. The purpose is to improve operability by making it easier to draw out the large container, and to make it possible to take out and take out items stored in the large container without any hindrance.

Structure of the Invention Therefore, in the present invention, a protrusion protruding from the bottom of the small container is integrally provided, and a latch that abuts and engages with the protrusion is formed on the large container side, and the relative position of the two is adjusted as follows.
When the large container is pulled out, the small container is pulled out to the same level as the front surface of the upper door, which makes it easier to see and pull out the small container, and also makes it easier to take items in and out of the large container. This was done so that there would be no hindrance to this.

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

1 is a refrigerator main body, 2 is a freezer compartment door, and 3 is a refrigerating compartment door, each of which is a rotary type that is pivoted on one side with a hinge (not shown). 4 is a pull-out type vegetable compartment door. 5 is an outer box, 6 is an inner box, 7 is a foam insulation material filled between the inner and outer boxes, 8 is a partition wall that bridges the left and right sides of the inner and outer boxes, and 9 is connected to the rear of this partition wall 8. This is a lid for a compartment. This lid body 9
Rails 10 are integrally provided on the left and right sides of the container, and a small container 11 that is supported by the rails 10 and can be freely drawn out is arranged. A rail 13 is provided on the back surface 12 of the pull-out vegetable compartment door 4 in the form of a U-shaped frame with a fixed open end and has rollers 13a at the rear end. Fixed rails 14 having rollers 14a fixed to the left and right sides of the inner box 6 are provided. 15 is a large container whose upper opening flange is suspended from the rail 13. Therefore, both containers 11 and 15 can be pulled out independently. Two triangular protrusions 11b are integrally formed on the bottom rear surface 11a of the small container 11 on the left and right sides near the front end. The rear flange surface 15a of the large container 15 has a small container 1
A latch 16 is disposed within the flange in-plane space 15b at a position opposite to the first projection 11b.
This latch 16 has elastic legs 16a at both ends supported by support portions 15c in the flange in-plane space 15b, and holes 15d formed in the rear flange surface 15a.
It protrudes further upwards. The relative position of the protrusion 11b and the latch 16 is such that when the vegetable compartment door 4 is pulled out, the large container 15 is pulled out, and at this time, the small container 11 is further removed after the latch 16 and the protrusion 11b are engaged. When it is tight, the front end of the small container 11 is pulled out so that it is almost flush with the front surface 3a of the refrigerator compartment door 3.

In addition, the rail 13 on the side of the door body 4 has a fixing rail 1.
A convex portion 13b for a stopper portion is formed to come into contact with the roller 14a of No. 4. That is, the engagement sliding dimension A between the wrap 16 and the protrusion 11b is such that the front end of the handle 11d, which is formed by extending forward from the upper front end surface of the small container 11 from the position where the small container 11 is stored, is located in the refrigerator compartment. This is a dimension that reaches the front surface 3a of the door 3.

In addition, when pushing the small container 11 into the inner side 6a of the refrigerator, the protrusion 11b of the small container 11 climbs over the latch 16, and the latch 16a It is designed to absorb the amount of movement of the small container 11 upward toward 6b when it crosses over.
Note that 11e is a hole formed in the handle portion 11d.

Effects of the invention The present invention has containers that can be pulled out independently, and when the lower large container is pulled out, the handle extending forward from the upper front edge of the upper small container is pulled out in a series to a certain extent. The handle can be pulled out almost flush with the upper (refrigerator) door, which not only makes it easier to see and pull out the upper container, but also prevents it from getting in the way when taking items in and out. In addition, if you want to insert or remove a particularly large item from the lower large container, pull out the lower large container and push the upper small container toward the inside of the refrigerator.The latch at the rear of the large container will ride up on it and you can insert it freely. It has excellent operability, such as easy operation.
