Description

Refrigerator

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a freezer compartment formed in the upper side of the cabinet and installed in a transverse direction to accommodate frozen food.

In general, the refrigerator is configured to supply the cold air generated from the evaporator of the refrigeration cycle to the storage compartment to maintain the freshness of various foods for a long time.

As shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerator is a storage compartment having an open front in a cabinet 10 constituting an outer body, so that a freezer compartment 11 storing frozen foods and a refrigerating compartment 12 storing refrigerated foods are partitioned. The doors 11a and 12a for opening and closing the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 are hinged to the front surface of the cabinet 10.

In the rear of the freezing chamber 11, a separate cooling chamber 20 is formed to generate cold air and to supply the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12. Here, the evaporator 21 and the freezing chamber 11 which generate cold air are formed. And a circulation fan 22 for introducing air from the refrigerating compartment 12 into the evaporator 21 and forcibly blowing the generated cold air into the freezing compartment 11 and the refrigerating compartment 12. In addition, the freezing chamber duct 40a and the refrigerating chamber duct 40b in which the cold air outlet holes 41a and 41b are formed so as to guide the cold air to the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 are installed, and the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber ( In the partition 30 partitioning 12, guide flow paths 30a and 30b are formed to guide the air sucked by the suction force of the circulation fan 22 to the evaporator 21.

In the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12, shelves 50a and 50b are installed in the horizontal direction so as to accommodate and store food, respectively. Since the internal space of the refrigerator compartment 12 is larger than that of the freezer compartment 11, the shelf 50b is provided in multiple stages, and the freezer compartment 11 is usually configured with one shelf 50a.

In the refrigerator configured as described above, when the circulation fan 22 is operated, air in the freezing compartment 11 and the refrigerating compartment 12 flows into the evaporator 21 through guide flow paths 30a and 30b, which passes through the evaporator 21. While being cold, the air is properly forced into the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 through the freezing chamber duct 40a and the refrigerating chamber duct 40b. Accordingly, the food stored in the freezer compartment 11 and the refrigerating compartment 12 are stored in the frozen and refrigerated state, respectively. And if you want to take out the frozen, refrigerated food is to open the hinged door (11a, 12a) to take out.

However, such a refrigerator has a problem in that when storing a large amount of food in the freezer compartment 11, since the internal space is small, the refrigerator is arbitrarily stacked and stored therein. Thus, when the freezer door 11a is suddenly opened, the stored food drops.

That is, since the freezing chamber 11 is much smaller than the refrigerating chamber 12, only one shelf 50a for storing food is usually installed. Therefore, when storing and storing a large number of frozen foods by storing a large amount of frozen foods arbitrarily on the bottom surface and the shelf 50a of the freezing chamber 11, their storage state becomes crude.

Because of this, when the freezer door 11a is suddenly opened, the frozen food randomly received on the bottom surface and the shelf 50a of the freezer compartment 11 may fall and fall on the user's foot.

The present invention is to solve this problem, the purpose of the present invention is to separate the frozen food and the refrigerated food inside the cabinet and store the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment is divided up and down, and there is provided a shelf for storing food However, by installing a guide lever that obstructs the freezer compartment opening in a diagonal direction at the tip of the shelf provided in the freezer compartment, even if the freezer door is suddenly opened while a large amount of food is stored in the freezer compartment, the stored food drops by the guide lever. It is to provide a refrigerator that is prevented.

The front end of the shelf installed in the freezer compartment is characterized in that the guide lever for preventing the food stored in the freezer dropping when the door is opened.

Hereinafter, one preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 is a side cross-sectional view showing the overall structure of the refrigerator according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the installation structure of the guide lever according to the present invention.

The refrigerator according to the present invention, as shown in these, is formed in the cabinet 100, the freezer compartment for storing the frozen food 110 and the refrigerating chamber 120 for storing the refrigerated food, which is formed by the partition 300 Doors 111 and 121 which are provided to be partitioned up and down are opened and hinged to the front surface of the cabinet 100 so as to be rotatable.

A cooling chamber 200 is formed at the rear of the freezing chamber 110 to provide an evaporator 210 for generating cold air, and a circulation fan 220 as a means for forcibly blowing the generated cold air. The freezing chamber duct 400 and the refrigerating chamber duct 410 in which a plurality of cold air outlet holes 411 and 412 are arranged up and down are respectively installed on the rear side walls of the freezing chamber 110 and the refrigerating chamber 120 to guide the supply of the cold air. After completing the heat exchange operation in the freezer compartment 110 and the refrigerating compartment 120, the air is introduced into the evaporator 210 to be cooled again. The partition 300 has a freezer compartment guide passage 310 and a refrigerator compartment guide passage 320 for the return of cold air. ) Is formed in communication with the installation portion of the evaporator (210). Reference numeral 311 denotes a step for forming an inlet portion of the freezer compartment guide passage 310.

In the freezer compartment 110 and the refrigerating compartment 120, shelves 500 and 510 are installed in a horizontal direction to store and store various stored foods, which are rails 511 formed on inner walls of the freezer compartment 110 and the refrigerating compartment 120. Both ends are fitted in the coupling.

In the refrigerating chamber 120 having a relatively large internal space, a shelf 510 is provided as a kankan to store a plurality of refrigerated foods, and a vegetable box 600 is configured at the lower portion thereof to prevent cold air from directly contacting the food. It keeps the moisture of the prepared food for a long time.

However, the freezing compartment 110 has a relatively small internal space compared to the refrigerating compartment 120 in which the multi-stage shelves 510 and the vegetable box 600 are installed, and thus a lot of freezing on the bottom surface of the shelf 500 and the freezing compartment 110. Occurs when the food is piled up at random, there is a guide lever 700 of a predetermined length for preventing the frozen food is loaded when the freezer door 111 is opened.

The guide lever 700 is installed diagonally across the opening between the shelf 500 and the bottom surface of the freezer compartment 110 to prevent the food stored between them when the freezer compartment 111 is opened. Referring to Figure 3 in detail as follows. Both ends of the guide lever 700 are bent in the same direction, and one end thereof is coupled to the shaft 710 at one end of the freezer compartment 110 of the shelf 500 so as to be rotatable about the guide lever 700. In addition, the center of the guide lever 700 extends a predetermined length so as to support the frozen food stored therein in a diagonal direction between the shelf 500 and the bottom surface of the freezer compartment 110, and the other end 720 is a freezer compartment ( 110 is caught with the stepped 311 protruding upward on the bottom surface.

On the other hand, if there is a small amount of stored food stored in the freezer compartment 110, the guide lever 700 is unnecessary because there is no fear of falling even if the refrigerating chamber door 111 is suddenly opened, the other of the guide lever 700 for this purpose. A fixing piece 730 for lifting and fixing the end portion 720 is provided at the other end of the shelf 500 of the freezer compartment 110. The fixing piece 730 is branched so that the other end 720 of the guide lever 700 is elastically fitted in the center thereof, and when the other end 720 of the guide lever 700 is pulled out, the guide lever 700 The shaft 710 is separated by its own weight around the shaft 710 to be in contact with the stepped portion 311 of the bottom surface of the freezer compartment 110.

Next, the operation and effects of the refrigerator configured as described above will be described. First, when the circulation fan 220 is rotated, the cold air generated in the evaporator 210 is supplied to the freezing chamber 110 and the refrigerating chamber 120 through the freezing chamber duct 400 and the refrigerating chamber duct 410 to cool the stored food. While being heat-exchanged, the heat-exchanged air is again re-cooled into the evaporator 210 through the freezer compartment guide passage 310 and the refrigerating compartment guide passage 320 and then supplied to the freezer compartment 110 and the refrigerating compartment 120, thereby freezing compartment 110. ) And the food stored in the refrigerating chamber 120 to maintain a fresh state for a long time.

On the other hand, the freezer compartment 110 has a limit on the amount of food storage because one shelf 500 is installed because the internal space is smaller than the refrigerator compartment 120 as described above, nevertheless a large amount of food in the freezer compartment 100 In the case of random storage on the bottom surface, the guide lever 700 is installed across the shelf 500 and the bottom surface diagonally. That is, when the other end portion 720 of the guide lever 700 is pulled out from the fixing piece 730, as shown in FIG. 3, the guide lever 700 is brought into contact with the step 311 by freely falling, thereby turning the shelf 500. ) And the food that is crudely received between the freezer compartment 110 and the bottom surface.

Therefore, even if the freezer compartment 111 is suddenly opened in a state in which a large amount of food is stored in the freezer compartment 110, food stored in the freezer compartment 110 may not fall through the freezer compartment 110 opening. This is because the center of the guide lever 700 supports a large amount of food stored in the shelf 500 and the bottom of the freezing chamber 110.

As a result, the freezer compartment 110 has a limited size, so that when storing a large amount of frozen food, the freezer compartment 110 is roughly placed on the shelf 500 and the bottom surface, and the guide lever at the sudden opening of the freezer compartment 111 ( 700 supports these stored foods and prevents them from falling.

In addition, when a small amount of food is stored in the freezer compartment 110, since the food is almost never dropped due to the sudden opening of the freezer compartment 111, the other end 720 of the guide lever 700 is lifted upward. By mounting and fixing to the fixing piece 730, it is not interfered by the guide lever 700 during storage and withdrawal of food.

As described in detail above, the refrigerator according to the present invention is divided into the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment up and down so as to separately store the frozen food and the refrigerated food in the cabinet, there is provided a shelf for storing food, At the tip of the shelf, a guide lever for blocking the freezer compartment opening in a diagonal direction was installed.

Accordingly, even if the freezer door is suddenly opened in a state where a large amount of food is stored in the freezer compartment, the stored food does not fall by the guide lever.
