In addition, an upper buffer stand 6 is fitted to the left and right edges of the refrigerator at the upper portion of the refrigerator 2 on which the plastic cover 4 is covered. The upper buffer stand 6 protects the upper portion of the refrigerator 2 from external shocks and the like.

Next, the detailed structure of the door support 20 by the said prior art is demonstrated. 2 is a perspective view of the door support 20. 20a shown in FIG. 2 is a rolling prevention end. The support 12c is fitted to the rolling prevention end 20a to prevent the door support 20 from being pushed forward of the refrigerator 2.

The lower surface of the door 3 is supported by the upper surface 20b of the door support 20. The front lower cover support part 20c which is stepped with the upper surface 20b of the said door support is formed in the inside of the door support 20 (direction toward the rear of a refrigerator, the same below). The front lower cover support part 20c is transported by mounting the front lower cover 8.

And the inclination part 20d is shape | molded from the upper surface 20b of the door support to the outer side (direction toward the front of a refrigerator, the same below). The inclined portion 20d is formed so that the packaging box (not shown) can be smoothly packed without being caught by the door support 20 when the refrigerator 2 is packed.

Next will be described the packaging process of the lower packaging structure according to the prior art having the configuration as described above.

In the state where the lower packaging part 12 composed of the base 12a, the support 12c, and the buffer 12b is completed in one assembly, the pair of shock absorbers is provided on the lower left and right sides of the refrigerator 2. It rests on the stand 12b.

With the lower part of the refrigerator 2 seated on the buffer table 12b, the lower part of the front surface of the refrigerator 2 is slightly lifted, and the door support 20 is placed on the support 12c and the base 12a. Put on. Then, the refrigerator 2 is returned to the buffer table 12b so that the lower surface of the door 3 is supported by the upper surface 20b of the door support.

That is, in the state where the slide preventing end 20a of the door support is inserted into the support 12c so that the door support 20 is supported, the upper surface 20b of the door support faces the lower surface of the door 3. It supports to prevent the sagging of the door (3).

Then, in the state in which the door support 20 supports the refrigerator door 3, the center portion of the front lower cover 8 is placed on the front lower cover support 20c of the door support 20.

However, the refrigerator lower packaging structure according to the prior art having the configuration as described above poses the following problems.

Supporting the lower surface of the door 3 is the upper surface 20b of the door support. By the way, according to the prior art, the upper surface 20b of the door support is stepped with the front lower cover support 20c, so that the area where the upper surface 20b of the door support supports the door 3 is narrow.

Therefore, when there is a fall or external impact of the refrigerator 2 during the refrigerator transportation process, the area of the upper surface 20b of the door support that supports the door 3 is narrow, so that the door 3 is connected to the door. There arises a problem of being separated from the upper surface 20b of the support.

As described above, when the door 3 is separated from the upper surface 20b of the door support, the door support 20 loses its function of preventing shock and door sag.

In addition, since the front lower cover 8 is placed on the front lower cover support 20c of the door support 20, it is not firmly fixed. Therefore, the front lower cover 8 flows during the transport process of the refrigerator, or is separated from the door support 20 to cause problems such as deformation and deformation.
