The present invention relates to an inter-store automatic moving device of a refrigerator, and more particularly, to an inter-store automatic moving device of a refrigerator, which can effectively store the storage between the upper freezer compartment and the lower refrigerating compartment.

In general, as shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerator 1 capable of keeping food fresh for a long time has a freezer compartment 3 and a refrigerating compartment 4 at upper and lower sides thereof, respectively, to be partitioned by an intermediate partition wall 2a. The upper and lower doors 6 and 7 formed by being hinged to one side of the main body 2 to open and close the main body 2 and the freezer compartment 3 and the refrigerating compartment 4, respectively, which are formed and have an insulating structure. It is basically composed of), frozen food is stored in the freezer compartment 3 of the upper portion, such as rapid freezing, refrigerated food is stored more freshly in the cold compartment (4) of the lower, put the food in the refrigerator compartment (4) A plurality of shelves 5 which can be put and stacked are provided in a stacked type.

However, some foods may need to be stored alternately in the freezer compartment 3 and the refrigerator compartment 4 as needed. For example, certain items such as beverages are first put into the freezer compartment 3 to be quickly cooled, and then the refrigerator compartment 4 is used. It may be stored in the cold state, and in this case, in the case of the conventional user has to take out and move one by one, it is very cumbersome and inconvenient, and if the user does not move in time, the storage may be damaged, As the storage is moved and stored, the opening time of the upper and lower doors 6 and 7 is long, and thus the internal cold air loss is large, thereby increasing power consumption.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic moving device between the storage compartment of the refrigerator that can be moved and stored automatically between the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment.

The present invention for achieving the above object is an automatic transfer device between the storage compartment of the refrigerator that can be stored while moving between the upper freezer compartment and the lower refrigerating compartment, the communication unit formed on the partition wall of the main body, the communication And a room moving storage box capable of moving up and down through the communication unit and loading the storage therein, and a lifting driving means provided at one side wall of the main body to move up and down the room moving storage. And a setting unit provided to set a storage condition and to display a position state of the real mobile storage box, and a control unit for controlling operation of the lifting driving means according to the setting condition of the setting unit. Provide the device.

The above objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a part of the automatic storage device between the moving room between the refrigerator of the present invention.

According to the invention, there is provided an automatic transfer device between the storage compartments of the refrigerator, which can store and move the storage F between the freezer compartment 3 and the refrigerating compartment 4, which is one side wall of the main body 2, preferably after It is provided in the barrier 2b side, and is provided in the intermediate | middle partition wall 2a side.

A part communicating part 2a-1 is formed in the partition wall 2a, and is sized to match the communicating part 2a-1, and the freezing compartment 3 at the upper part and the refrigerating chamber at the lower part are formed through the communicating part 2a-1. It is provided with a moving room storage box 10 to be moved to the (4) side, the room moving storage box 10 is formed a space for storing the storage (F) therein, the front and rear door opening and closing door (10a) It is provided, the inside may be provided with a temperature measuring sensor 20 that can measure the temperature of the interior space.

Here, the upper side or the lower side of the intermodal storage box 10 is an appropriate thickness so as to act as a partition wall 2a when the intermodal storage box 10 moves to the upper side of the refrigerating compartment 4 or the lower side of the freezing compartment 3, respectively. And a configuration.

Furthermore, the lifting driving means 30 for moving the space moving storage box 10 up and down a predetermined distance is provided in the rear wall 2b side, preferably in the rear wall 2b, and as the lifting driving means 30. The ball screw 34 connected to the drive motor 36 for forward and reverse rotation is long in the vertical direction, and the ball nut part 32, which is engaged with the ball screw 34 and can move straight in the vertical direction, is actually moved. It may be configured to be coupled to the storage box 10 side.
