Description

Shelf folding device of refrigerator

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a shelf folding device of a refrigerator that can expand the shelf if necessary, seating the stored goods and folding the inner wall of the refrigerator when not in use to further increase the usability of the interior space. will be.

In general, the storage items such as food stored in the refrigerator is seated on a shelf coupled in the refrigerating chamber, the shelf is adjusted by changing the position of the combination.

Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a shelf of such a refrigerator has a support 11 having a plurality of long holes 11a formed therein and installed on an inner rear wall of the refrigerating chamber 10, and the long holes 11a. Inside the shelves 20 are coupled at appropriate intervals.

In addition, the rear side of the shelf 20 has a configuration in which a plurality of hooking rings 21 protrude so as to be inserted into and separated from the long hole 11a.

Accordingly, when the locking ring 21 formed at the rear end of the shelf 20 is inserted into the long hole 11a of the support 11, the plurality of locking rings 21 are inserted into the long hole 11a and at the same time, As the front end surface of the shelf 20 is in close contact, the fixed state is maintained.

At this time, when the height of the storage product seated on the shelf 20 is greater than the interval with the shelf 20 installed at appropriate intervals, the upper shelf 20 is separated from the support 11 and then the height is large. You will store your items.

However, the conventional shelf of the refrigerator has a variety of problems, such as that the storage and storage of the small volume is not provided because a separate storage space is not very convenient to withdraw and store the article.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to install a shelf folded between the shelves, especially the shelf folding device of the refrigerator is very convenient to store and take out small items To provide.

Shelf folding apparatus of the refrigerator according to the present invention for achieving the above object, in the refrigerator provided with a plurality of shelves in the refrigerator compartment, the bracket is mounted on the wall surface of the refrigerator compartment, the bracket is detachably coupled to the bracket, A support shaft is fastened to the support member via a spring, and the shelf having an insertion hole is rotatably coupled to the support shaft.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is easy to utilize the space in the refrigerating chamber by installing the foldable shelves between the fixing shelves, and in particular, the storage and retrieval of small items is easy, and the assembly and separation can be facilitated.

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

Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a shelf folding apparatus of the refrigerator according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a partial bottom perspective view showing a shelf according to the present invention, Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a state of use of the present invention.

In the drawing, a reinforcement plate 31 is fixed to an inner wall surface of the refrigerator main body 30, and a bracket 40 is fastened and fixed to the reinforcement plate 31 by a screw 32, and a support member is attached to the bracket 40. 50 is coupled by a fixing pin 33, the bracket 40 is formed with a through-hole 41 for inserting the fixing pin 33.

The support member 50 is formed with a through hole 51 for inserting the fixing pin 33 on one side, the support shaft 60 is screwed through the spring 34 on the other side.

The support shaft 60 is provided with screw portions 61a and 61b at both ends thereof, and a plurality of locking projections 62a and 62b are formed on the outer circumferential surface at predetermined intervals.

And, the shelf 70 is coupled to the support shaft 60, the shelf 70 is formed with an insertion hole 71 through which the support shaft 60 penetrates on one side, and the insertion hole 71 A locking groove 71a in which the locking protrusions 62a and 62b are positioned is formed.

The locking groove 71a is formed at a position where the locking protrusions 62a and 62b can be inserted in the unfolded state of the shelf 70.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the insertion hole 71 is formed with a plurality of cutouts 72 in which the locking protrusions 62a and 62b are positioned when the shelf 70 is rotated.

The fixing nut 35 is detachably fastened to the threaded portion 61b formed at the tip of the support shaft 60.

The shelf folding device of the refrigerator according to the present invention configured as described above is placed in a folded state on a wall of a refrigerating chamber when not using a fixing shelf, and stores the article using the fixing shelf.

At this time, if you want to store a small article, such as to expand the shelf 70 folded on the refrigerator compartment wall surface.

That is, when the folded shelf 70 is rotated about 90 degrees toward the front side, the latching protrusions 62a and 62b positioned in the cutout 71 are inserted into the insertion groove 71 to maintain the fixed state. Will maintain an extended position.

On the contrary, when the unfolded shelf 70 is folded, as shown in FIG. 5, when the shelf 70 is moved toward the support member 50, the springs 34 are compressed while the latching protrusions 62a and 62b are held in the shelf 70. The shelf 70 is rotated by being located in the cutout 72 of the shelf 72, and the shelf 70 can be folded at an angle of 90 ° to the wall surface of the refrigerator compartment.

And, by separating the fixing pin 33 from the bracket 40 and the support member 50 is to facilitate the separation of the shelf (70).

As described above, according to the present invention, it is easy to utilize the space in the refrigerating compartment by installing the foldable shelves between the fixing shelves, and in particular, the storage and retrieval of small items is easy, and the assembly and separation are easy. It has the effect of being.
