Abstract

The present invention relates to a variable shelf for a refrigerator, the shelf of the conventional refrigerator has a structure capable of adjusting the height of the shelf by moving the shelf according to the size of the food or container, but when the food or containers of different heights are mixed There has been a problem that the refrigerator space cannot be effectively utilized because the shelf height must be adjusted to the highest food or container.To solve this problem, the movable part can be rotated to the fixed part by using the front end of the shelf as the movable part and the rear side as the fixed part. In particular, the movable part is formed by dividing the movable part into a plurality of parts, and in the middle part, a coupling means for detachably fixing the two side parts is provided.

Description

Variable shelf for refrigerator

The present invention relates to a variable shelf for a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a variable shelf for a refrigerator that can partially adjust the distance between shelves according to the size of food or containers loaded in the refrigerator.

In general, a shelf is installed in the refrigerating compartment of a refrigerator for loading food, etc., as shown in FIG. 1, shelf beads 20 are formed at predetermined intervals on both side walls of the refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator 20, thereby turning the shelf. Both ends of the (30) is to be caught and fixed.

However, the conventional refrigerator shelf 30 is one shelf 30 as a whole, and when the height of the food or container is larger than the distance between the shelves 30, the shelf 30 is removed and beads of different positions are placed. The height of the shelves 30 must be adjusted so that the height of the shelves can be adjusted according to the food or container of the highest size when the food or container of different heights is mixed. There has been a problem that can not be utilized.

The present invention has been devised in view of such a conventional problem, and it is possible to use the space inside the refrigerator more efficiently by partially adjusting the height without moving the whole panel according to the height of food or containers placed on the shelves inside the refrigerator. The technical problem is to provide a variable shelf for a refrigerator.

In order to solve the technical problem described above, the variable shelf for a refrigerator of the present invention is a shelf installed in a refrigerator, the shelf being a movable part which is pivotally coupled to the front side and the fixing part of the rear side and formed in a plurality of parts. It is composed.

In addition, the central variable shelf and the left and right variable shelves separated in the movable portion is characterized in that the coupling is possible to be separated from each other by a coupling means installed inside the center variable front end.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a variable shelf for a refrigerator of the present invention will be described in more detail.

FIG. 2 is a main perspective view of a refrigerator in which a variable shelf for a refrigerator of the present invention is installed, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a state of use and a cross-sectional view of a refrigerator. As illustrated, a plurality of shelves are spoken in a refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator 50. The variable shelf for the refrigerator of the refrigerator is vertically spaced apart from each other in the refrigerating chamber as in the prior art. In the present invention, the rear side and the front side of the refrigerator shelf are separated and configured as a fixing part 3 and a movable part 2, and the movable part The left side variable shelf (4), the central variable shelf (5) and the right side variable shelf (6) are separated from each other and are assembled together.

The movable part 2 is rotatably coupled to the front of the fixing part 3, the left variable shelf 4, the central variable shelf 5 and the right variable shelf 6 of the movable part 2 are the central variable shelf ( 5) by means of coupling means installed in the central variable shelf (5) to be mutually releasable.

The coupling means penetrates the installation groove 10 laterally inside the front end of the central variable shelf 5, inserts a spring 14 in the center of the installation groove 10, and inserts fixing pins 11 on both sides thereof. However, the guide grooves 12 are formed on both sides of the installation groove 10 to the outside to expose the lever 13 of the fixing pin 110 to the front through the guide groove 12.

In addition, the left and right variable shelf (4) (6) is to form a fixing groove (9) that can be inserted into the outer end of the fixing pin 11 to the central variable shelf side, respectively. And the center of the front end of the fixing portion (3) forms a stopper (3 ') extending to the rear end surface of the central variable shelf (5) to prevent sagging of the central variable shelf (5).

The variable shelf for refrigerators 1 of the present invention configured as described above are integrally coupled to each other and placed in the beads 20 formed on both side walls of the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator 50, respectively, to receive food thereon.

In the normal use state, both ends of the shelf 1, i.e., both ends of the fixed part and the left end of the left variable shelf 4 of the movable part 2, and the right end of the right variable shelf 6 are caught by the beads 20, respectively. The central variable shelf (5) has both fixing pins (11) installed at both ends of the installation groove (10) at its distal end pressed against the outside by the spring (14) and the lever (13) is caught by the guide groove (12). Since the fixed pin 11 protrudes to the outside by a predetermined length and is caught by the fixing grooves of the left and right variable shelves 4 and 6 on both sides, the entire movable part 2 is integrally coupled. The shelf is used normally.

On the other hand, when storing the food of a height greater than the distance between the shelves of the various foods, as shown in Figure 3, one side of the shelf, for example, to raise the left variable shelf (4), first of the central variable shelf (5) When the lever 13 exposed at the left end is pulled inward, the tip of the fixing groove 9 of the left variable shelf 4 is pulled out of the fixing groove 9 so that the left variable shelf 4 is removed. After stacking up on the fixing part 3 side, the food may be loaded as shown in FIG. 3.

Then, the right variable shelf (6) in the same way as above, pull the right lever 13 of the central variable shelf (5) and raise the right variable shelf (6), both levers to raise the central variable shelf (5) What is necessary is just to rotate to the fixed part 3 side in the state which closed (13) to the center.

In addition, it can be easily understood that the entire movable part 2 can be lifted to the rear side, or the left or right variable shelf 6 together with the central variable shelf 5 can be selectively lifted and superimposed on the fixing part 3. will be.

As described above in detail, the variable shelf for a refrigerator of the present invention includes a fixed part and a movable part fixedly rotatably in front of the fixed part, and the movable part is formed by dividing the movable part into a plurality of parts to partially increase the height without moving the entire shelf. Being able to adjust the effect that the space inside the refrigerator can be used more efficiently.
