1 is a perspective view illustrating a refrigerator according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view illustrating the refrigerator of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a door opened in the refrigerator of FIG. 1. Referring to these drawings, the refrigerator 100 according to the present invention includes at least one food storage chamber, for example, a main body 110 having a refrigerating chamber 101 and a freezing chamber 102, and the present invention for opening and closing the refrigerating chamber 101. At least one door according to, and comprises a third door 140 for opening and closing the freezer compartment (102).

In the refrigerator 100 according to the present invention, the refrigerating compartment 101 is provided at an upper portion of the main body 110, for example, and the freezing compartment 102 is provided at a lower portion of the main body 110. In addition, the third door 140 is configured to open and close the freezing compartment 102 while sliding in the front-rear direction of the main body 110, and the at least one door is each door is opened by a hinge assembly 200. It is configured to open and close the refrigerating compartment 101 while rotating without mutual interference.

The freezer compartment 102 is defined by a bottom 105, a lower side of the body 110, a rear face of the main body 110, and a partition 105 partitioning the refrigerating compartment 101 and the freezing compartment 102. Here, the freezing compartment 102 is sealed by the gasket (not shown) provided on the edge of the third door 140 in close contact with the front edge of the freezing compartment 102.

In more detail, a magnet is embedded in the gasket, for example, so that when the third door 140 closes the freezing compartment 102, the gasket of the third door 140 is connected to the main body. 110 and the front surface of the partition 105, thereby completely freezing the chamber 102.

In comparison, the refrigerating compartment 101 is defined by an upper surface, an upper side surface, a rear surface of the main body 110, and the partition wall 105 defining the refrigerating compartment 101 and the freezing compartment 102. In the refrigerator 100 according to the present invention, the refrigerating compartment 101 is designed to have a larger internal volume than the freezing compartment 102. Accordingly, the at least one door is disposed so as to face each other on both sides of the main body 110 as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 so that the large refrigerating compartment 101 can be conveniently opened and closed. It comprises a pair of doors, that is, the first door 120 and the second door 130.

The refrigerating compartment 101 is sealed by first gaskets 124 and 134 respectively provided on the inner edges of the first door 120 and the second door 130 in close contact with the front edge of the refrigerating compartment 101.

In more detail, the magnets are embedded in the first gaskets 124 and 134, respectively. Accordingly, the first door 120 and the second door 130 may close the refrigerating compartment 101, respectively. When the first gasket (124, 134) is in close contact with the front surface of the main body 110 and the partition 105, respectively, the refrigerating chamber 101 is sealed.

On the other hand, in the refrigerator (101) in the refrigerator 100 according to the present invention, in order to increase the volume of the refrigerator compartment 101 and to store food having a long or large volume in the refrigerator compartment (101) Unlike the related art, partition walls for dividing the refrigerating compartment 101 into two spaces separated from each other are not provided. Accordingly, an intermediate portion of the refrigerating compartment 101 facing the gap between the first door 120 and the second door 130 is hard to be sealed by the first gaskets 124 and 125.

Therefore, the first door 120 and the second door 130 face each other so that the cold air of the refrigerating compartment 101 does not leak through the gap between the first door 120 and the second door 130. In the viewing part, a pair of second gaskets 125 and 135 are provided to cover the gap.

The second gaskets 125 and 135 extend from the first door 120 and the second door 130, respectively, for example, magnets having different polarities are respectively embedded therein. Therefore, when the first door 120 and the second door 130 respectively close the refrigerating compartment 101, the pair of second gaskets 125 and 135 are in close contact with each other, whereby the refrigerating compartment 101 The middle part of the refrigerating chamber 101 without the partition which divides the into two spaces is completely sealed.

The second gaskets 125 and 135 are made of an elastic material. However, when the first door 120 or the second door 130 is opened or closed while rotating, the pair of second gaskets 125 and 135 slide and rub with each other, whereby the second gasket There is a fear that the 125 and 135 are deformed or broken.

In order to prevent this, the first door 120 and the second door 130 according to the present invention, when opening the refrigerating chamber 101 is to move linearly so that one is away from the other one, thereby the pair The gaskets 125 and 135 are separated from each other and are configured to rotate about the axis of each door. Of course, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are configured to close the refrigerating compartment 101 by moving in the opposite direction.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the first door 120 and the second door 130 opens and closes the refrigerating compartment 101, slip and friction between the second gaskets 125 and 135 do not occur. Deformation and breakage of the second gaskets 125 and 135, and thus, leakage of cold air from the refrigerating chamber 101 may be prevented. Hereinafter, the configurations of the first door 120 and the second door 130 according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. For reference, FIGS. 4 to 6 are plan views of the refrigerator of FIGS. 1 to 3 when the cover 201 covering the hinge assembly 200 is removed.

Referring to FIG. 4, a bracket 210 supporting the first door 120 and the second door 130 is fixed to the main body 110. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bracket 210 is provided at both sides of an upper surface of the main body 110 and at both sides of a lower end of the refrigerating chamber 101, respectively. The first door 120 and the second door 130 are disposed between the upper surface of the main body 110 and the pair of brackets 210 provided at the lower end of the refrigerating chamber 101. Here, the bracket 210 is fixed to the main body 110, but not to the first door 120 and the second door 130.

The bracket 210 has a guide slot 220 is formed long as shown in Figure 4, the shaft is fitted to the guide slot 220 on the upper end of the first door 120 and the second door 130 121 protrudes. Here, the guide slot 220 is formed long from the point adjacent to the main body 110 to a point far from the main body 110, the first door 120 and the second door 130 is the refrigerator compartment 101 When opening and closing) guides the movement and rotation of the shaft (121).

With the above structure, the first door 120 and the second door 130 along the guide slot 220 before rotating about the shaft 121 to open the refrigerating compartment 101, the body Move away from 110 and fall apart.

For example, when the guide slot 220 is formed obliquely to the front surface of the main body 110 from a point adjacent to the center of the main body 110 as shown in FIG. 4, the first door The 120 and the second door 130 move away from the main body 110 in a diagonal direction toward the side and the front of the main body 110 according to the guide of the shaft 121 and the guide slot 220. Thus, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are separated from each other.

 As another example, when the guide slot 220 is formed parallel to the front surface of the main body 110, as shown in Figure 7, the first door 120 and the second door 130 is the shaft 121 And the guide slot 220 guides the both sides of the main body 110 to the outside, whereby the first door 120 and the second door 130 are separated.

As described above, when the first door 120 and the second door 130 are pulled away from the main body 110, the shaft 121 is centered on the main body 110 along the guide slot 220. The linear movement of the predetermined length from a point close to the far point from the first door 120 and the second door 130 are separated from each other, so that the pair of second gaskets 125 and 135 slip and They are separated from each other without friction.

As described above, after the first door 120 and the second door 130 is linearly moved a predetermined distance according to the guide of the shaft 121 and the guide slot 220, the shaft 121 is the guide slot. It is supported at one end of the 220, and thus the first door 120 and the second door 130 are rotated about the shaft 121, respectively. On the other hand, when the first door 120 and the second door 130 closes the refrigerating chamber 101, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are rotated about the shaft 121 first and then guided by the guide slot 220. Accordingly, the body 110 moves linearly adjacent to the body 110.

Even with the simple structure as described above, the first door 120 and the second door 130 can open and close the refrigerating compartment 101 without slip and friction of the second gaskets 125 and 135. However, it is difficult to expect stable operation of the first door 120 and the second door 130 only with the above structure. That is, when the user opens and closes the first door 120 and the second door 130, a force may be applied to the first door 120 and the second door 130 in the longitudinal direction of the guide slot 220. This is a bit inconvenient. Therefore, the present invention further provides a structure for completely eliminating this, which will be described in more detail below.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the refrigerator according to the present invention is provided with a handle 300 that allows the user to conveniently open the first door 120 and the second door 130. The handle 300 is coupled to the bracket 210 by a hinge as shown in FIG. Here, the handle 300 is not directly coupled to the first door 120 and the second door 130, unlike the door of the conventional refrigerator.

However, the handle 300 is installed such that one surface thereof is in contact with a portion of the first door 120 and the second door 130. Therefore, when the handle 300 is pulled, one surface of the handle 300 pushes a part of the first door 120 and the second door 130 in the longitudinal direction of the guide slot 220, thereby As the shafts 121 of the first door 120 and the second door 130 move along the guide slot 220, respectively, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are connected to the main body 110. Off). Hereinafter will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings for the configuration of the handle 300 according to the present invention to play such a role.

The handle 300 is, for example, a lever 310 coupled to the bracket 210 by the hinge, and extends from the lever 310 to the first door 120 and the second door 130. It comprises a grip 320 disposed in front of the. Here, the lever 310 is horizontally disposed on the upper and lower portions of the first door 120 and the second door 130, respectively, as shown in Figure 2, the grip 320 is the respective lever ( It extends vertically at the end of 310 is disposed in front of the first door 120 and the second door 130.

On one side of the handle 300, for example, one side of the end of the lever 310 as shown in FIG. 4, a portion of the first door 120 and the second door 130, for example, the first Push surfaces 340 are formed to contact the protrusions 123 protruding from the surfaces of the first door 120 and the second door 130. The push surface 340 maintains a contact with the protrusion 123, and pushes the protrusion 123 while slidingly contacting the protrusion 123 when the handle 300 rotates.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the push surface 340 pushes the protrusion 123 while the handle 300 rotates as described above, the shaft 121 moves along the guide slot 220. Move from near to far. Here, when the guide slot 220 is short as shown in FIG. 8, the shaft 121 is supported by one end of the guide slot 220 when the handle 300 is rotated by a predetermined angle. When the handle 300 is further rotated in this state, the shaft 121 is rotated while being supported at one end of the guide slot 220.

As described above, the handle 300 is rotated by a predetermined angle until the shaft 121 is caught by one end of the guide slot 220, the first door 120 and the second door 130. ) Is pushed in the longitudinal direction of the guide slot 220, whereby the first door 120 and the second door 130 are separated from the main body 110 while being separated from each other.

In addition, after the handle 300 is rotated by a predetermined angle, the handle 300 is rotated together with the first door 120 and the second door 130. In this case, the handle 300 is rotated about the hinge shaft 330, while the first door 120 and the second door 130 are supported by the shaft (one end of the guide slot 220) ( Rotate around 121). The push surface 340 pushes the protrusion 123 while slidingly contacting the protrusion 123 while the handle 300, the first door 120, and the second door 130 rotate together. .

Meanwhile, as described above, the push surface 340 and the protrusion 123 are in sliding contact while the handle 300 rotates. Accordingly, in this case, the length of the push surface 340 should be sufficiently long as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. However, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when the stopper 350 is formed to hold and support the protrusion 123 at the end of the push surface 340, the push surface 340 may be short. . This will be described in more detail below.

The stopper 350 protrudes from the end of the push surface 340 as shown in FIG. 4, and is shown in FIG. 6 when the protrusion 123 is pushed by the push surface 340 by a predetermined length. It is hung and supported as Therefore, when the handle 300 is rotated by a predetermined angle and the protrusion 123 is caught by the stopper 350, the protrusion 123 can no longer slide with respect to the push surface 340. As a result, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are shown in FIG. 6, even if the shaft 121 is located in the middle of the guide slot 220. Will rotate with.

Meanwhile, when the first door 120 and the second door 130 are closed, the first door 120 and the second door 130 rotate together with the handle 300 as described above. Thereafter, the first door 120 and the second door 130 move linearly toward the main body 110 according to the guide of the shaft 121 and the guide slot 220, and then move the freezing compartment 102. Will be closed. In this case, the elastic member 250 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 between the main body 110 and the shaft 121 so that the first door 120 and the second door 130 can be automatically closed. ) May be provided.

In more detail, the elastic member 250 is installed to connect the shaft 121 of the main body 110 and the first door 120 and the second door 130, respectively. Accordingly, when the force applied to the first door 120 and the second door 130 is removed while the first door 120 and the second door 130 are opened, the elastic member 250 may cause the elastic member 250 to be removed. Pull the shaft 121 toward the main body 110. Accordingly, the protrusion 123 pushes the push surface 340, and thus, the first door 120 and the second door 130 together with the handle 300 rotate in opposite directions of FIG. 6, respectively. do.

Even after the first door 120 and the second door 130 are rotated to be parallel to the front surface of the main body 110 as shown in FIG. 5, the handle 300 is formed by the protrusion 123. It rotates a certain angle while being pushed. When the handle 300 is completely rotated to be in close contact with the first door 120 and the second door 130, the shaft 121 is guided by the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 250. The main door 110 is approached along the first door 120 and the second door 130, thereby contacting the main body 110.

In this case, the pair of second gaskets 125 and 135 are linearly moved toward and near from the main body 110 together with the first door 120 and the second door 130 and then closely contact each other. Accordingly, the gaskets 125 and 135 contact each other without slip and friction, thereby completely sealing the middle portion of the refrigerating chamber 101.

Hereinafter, the operation of the door assembly in the refrigerator according to the present invention will be briefly described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

First, in order to open the refrigerating compartment 101, grab the grip 320 and pull the handle 300, the handle 300 is rotated by a predetermined angle around the hinge axis 330. At this time, the push surface 340 of the handle 300 pushes the protrusion 123 as shown in Figure 4, the first door by the guide of the shaft 121 and the guide slot 220 The 120 and the second door 130 are separated from each other while being separated from the main body 110.

When the protrusion 123 is caught by the stopper 350 as the handle 300 rotates, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are connected to the handle 300 as shown in FIG. 6. Rotate together. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the handle 300 is rotated by a predetermined angle more than the first door 120 and the second door 130.

Next, when the force pulling the handle 300 to close the open refrigerating chamber 101 is removed, the elastic member 250 pulls the shaft 121 toward the main body 110. Then, the protrusion 123 pushes the push surface 340, and thus the handle 300, the first door 120, and the second door 130 rotate together.

After the handle 300, the first door 120, and the second door 130 are completely rotated, the shaft 121 approaches the main body 110 along the guide slot 220. As a result, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are closed after the refrigerating chamber 101 is closed.

Although several embodiments have been described above, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many other forms without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
