Description

Refrigerator

The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a simple refrigerator formed in the refrigerator door and a simple refrigerator door for opening and closing the front opening of the simple refrigerator. More specifically, the inner space of the simple refrigerator door can be expanded if necessary. It can be about a refrigerator.

In recent years, with the trend toward larger refrigerators, so-called separate refrigerators having a pair of cooling chambers partitioned from side to side have been proposed. Such refrigerators are attached with devices such as dispensers and simple fridges that provide convenience to the user.

5 is a partially enlarged view of a state in which the simple refrigerator door of the conventional refrigerator having such a simple refrigerator compartment is opened. As shown in this figure, the conventional refrigerator 100 includes a refrigerator main body 101 having a pair of unillustrated cooling chambers partitioned from side to side and a front side of the refrigerator main body 101, respectively. It has a door to rotate the opening and closing, the left door is a freezer compartment door 109 and the right door is a refrigerator compartment door 123.

The freezer chamber 109 is provided with a dispenser 121. The dispenser 121 cools the cold water from the water storage tank (not shown) provided in the refrigerating compartment (not shown) and the ice from the ice making tray (not shown) provided in the freezing compartment (not shown). Without opening the door 123 can be easily withdrawn from the outside of the freezer door 109. The simple refrigerating chamber 125 is provided on the inner wall surface of the refrigerating chamber door 123. The simple refrigerating chamber 125 communicates with the inside and outside of the refrigerating chamber, and is provided with a simple refrigerating chamber door 127 to accommodate or withdraw the stored product in the refrigerating chamber without opening the refrigerating chamber door 123. On the other hand, the simple refrigerating chamber door 127 is coupled to the foldable hinge 131 provided on both sides of the simple refrigerating chamber 125 is possible to open and close up and down rotation, it is provided with a locking projection 133 is held when closing. The front side of the simple refrigerating chamber door 127 is provided with a handle part (not shown) for providing a grip for opening and closing.

By this configuration, the user can easily store the goods stored in the simple refrigerator compartment 125 located on the inner wall surface of the refrigerator compartment door 123 by simply opening the simple refrigerator compartment door 127 without opening the refrigerator compartment door 123. Can be withdrawn or housed in the simple refrigerating chamber (123). Therefore, unnecessary cold air loss in the refrigerating compartment due to the opening of the refrigerating compartment door 123 is prevented, thereby reducing power consumption of the refrigerator 100, thereby improving energy efficiency. On the other hand, the open simple refrigerator door 127 is supported in a substantially horizontal state with respect to the refrigerator compartment door 123, and at this time, the inner surface of the open simple refrigerator door 127 is drawn out from the inside of the simple refrigerator compartment 125. It serves as a table that can seat the storage items to be stored in the storage or the simple refrigerator compartment (125).

By the way, in the conventional refrigerator 100, the simple refrigerating chamber door 127 has a predetermined limited internal area, so that only a relatively small number of stored products can be seated. As a result, when there is a lot of storage items to be taken out from the simple refrigerating chamber 125 and stored again, or when there are many storage items to be accommodated from the outside, it is inconvenient to use a separate table or table.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator capable of seating a plurality of storage items on the inner surface of the simple refrigerator door by expanding the inner surface of the simple refrigerator door, if necessary, in consideration of these problems in the related art.

The above object is, according to the present invention, in the refrigerator having a simple refrigerator compartment formed in the refrigerator door and a simple refrigerator compartment door for opening and closing the front opening of the simple refrigerator compartment, wherein the simple refrigerator compartment door in the open state of the simple refrigerator compartment It is achieved by a refrigerator comprising a plate-shaped auxiliary door member movable between an extended position extending from the inner surface and positioned flat and withdrawn from the extended position.

Here, the auxiliary door member is hinged to one side of the simple refrigerating chamber door is preferably placed on the inner surface of the simple refrigerating chamber door at the withdrawal position, the auxiliary door member is a pair on both sides of the simple refrigerating chamber door. It is effective that these are arranged opposite each other.

1 is a front view of the open state of the refrigerator door according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a perspective view of the door closed state of FIG. As shown in these figures, the refrigerator 1 is, as described with reference to FIG. 5 of the related art, as long as it is partitioned left and right by the refrigerator main body 2 and the intermediate partition 3 forming the cooling chamber. A pair of cooling chambers is provided, and the doors which open and close these cooling chambers are provided, respectively. In the following description, a relatively low temperature cooling chamber among these cooling chambers is referred to as a freezing chamber 5, and a relatively high temperature cooling chamber is referred to as a refrigerating chamber 7.

In each cooling chamber, the some storage shelf 9 is arrange | positioned horizontally along the up-down direction. In the upper region of the freezing chamber 5, an ice making chamber 11 for producing ice is provided, and in the lower region, a plurality of retractable drawer-type food storage chambers 13 arranged in layers are provided. Also in the lower region, a drawer food storage chamber 13 capable of withdrawing a plurality of drawers is provided.
