The refrigerator to which the door handle of the present invention has an appearance as shown in FIG. 1 includes a storage compartment in which food is stored therein, and a main body 10 in which a refrigeration cycle for changing the state of the refrigerant is implemented. The inside of 10 is partitioned up and down by the partition 13.

And the upper portion of the main body 10 partitioned by the partition 13 forms a freezer compartment 11 for storing food frozen, the lower portion forms a refrigerating chamber 12 for refrigerated storage of food.

In addition, an evaporator 16 for generating cold air is installed on the rear wall of the main body 10, and a blower fan 17 for supplying cold air to the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 is installed above the evaporator 16. do.

Furthermore, a freezing chamber duct (not shown) and a refrigerating chamber duct (not shown) for guiding the cold air forcedly blown by the blower fan (! 7) to the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 are provided inside the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12. Not shown) is installed.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the front surfaces of the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 are opened for feeding in and out of food. The opening portion is hinged to the front side end of the main body 10 so that the freezing chamber 11 is provided in the freezing chamber 11 so that the hinge coupling portion can rotate left and right, and the refrigerating chamber 12 in the lower refrigerating chamber 12. The door 15 is installed to open and close the freezer compartment 11 and the refrigerating compartment 12.

Each of the freezer compartment door 14 and the refrigerating compartment door 15 has a user holding it when the doors 14 and 15 are operated to perform the opening and closing operation of the freezer compartment door 14 and the refrigerating compartment door 15. Door handles 50 are provided above or below the side ends of the respective doors 14 and 15.

Hereinafter, the door handle 50 of the refrigerating chamber door 15 of the door handle 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the door handle 50 is divided into a handle 51 and a handle trim 60.

First, the handle 60 is provided with a plastic injection molded article formed with a plurality of bends 62, the handle trim 70 to be described later is coupled to the outer surface and the outer surface 18 of the refrigerating chamber door 15 to the inner surface. It is arranged to be combined.

And it is provided to form a handle portion (63) between the outer shell of the refrigerator compartment door (15) and the handle (63).

On the other hand, the engaging portion of the handle 60 and the handle trim 70 is provided with a plurality of engaging portions 65 to which the engaging projection 71 of the handle trim 70 is provided, and the engaging end of the handle trim 70 is provided. The bent portion 66 that is bent inward is formed at the engaging end of the handle 60 so as to fit inside. The bent portion 66 is formed in the entire engaging portion 65 with the handle trim 70 in the longitudinal direction of the handle 60.

And the coupling part 65 is formed in plural on the same axis in the longitudinal direction of the handle 60, the portion corresponding to the above-described handle portion 63 is provided in the form of a hole completely through, the other portion is a groove It is provided in a shape so that the engaging projection 71 of the handle trim 70 is fitted through the groove and the hole of the engaging portion 65 when the handle trim 70 is engaged.

Moreover, the guide groove 64 in which one part of the edge part of the outer side of the refrigerator compartment door 15 is fitted inside the handle 60 is formed.

The guide groove 64 is streamlined and is formed to extend about halfway in the longitudinal direction of the handle 60, and forms a groove inside two walls. In addition, a plurality of protrusions are formed in the groove so that the ends of the refrigerating chamber door 15 are tightly coupled.

On the other hand, a portion of the handle 60 engaging portion of the outer box of the refrigerator compartment door 15 coupled to the handle 60 is bent inwardly, which is predetermined between the handle 60 and the outer box of the refrigerator compartment door 15. It is for forming a space so that this space can function as the door handle part 63 mentioned above.

The handle trim 70 is formed of a plastic injection molded product in a substantially plate shape, and a curved portion 72 is formed laterally to form a side handle portion (unsigned) of the door 15, and both side ends and The lower end portion is bent inward to form a coupling end of the refrigerator compartment door 15 when the refrigerator compartment door 15 is coupled to the refrigerator compartment door 15.

The handle 60 described above is coupled to the inside of the bent portion.

In addition, in order to couple the handle 60 and the handle trim 70, a plurality of engaging projections 71 are formed in the lengthwise direction of the handle trim 70 laterally at the coupling end of the handle trim 70 and the handle 60 By coupling the engaging portion 65 of the handle and the engaging projection 71 of the handle trim 70, the handle 60 and the handle trim 70 is firmly coupled.

Further, at the engaging end with the handle 60, a protruding piece 76 fitted inside the bent portion 66 of the handle 60 is formed. The protruding piece 76 is tightly coupled to the inside of the bent portion 66 to prevent the urethane foam from leaking to the outside through the bent portion 66 and the protruding piece 76 when the urethane foam is foamed.

In addition, a guide protrusion groove 75 is formed on the inner side of the handle trim 70 to engage with the guide groove 64 of the handle 60 described above in the outer end of the refrigerating chamber door 15. . Therefore, the guide protrusion groove 75 of the handle trim 70 and the guide groove 64 of the handle 60 are fitted together with the outer shell 18 of the refrigerating chamber door 15.

The combination of the door handle 50 and the door 15 is shown in FIG. 4, and in particular, the bends 62 and 72 are in contact with each other by the combination of the handle 60 and the handle trim 70. The large groove 81 is formed.

This groove 81 is urethane foam 80 is introduced into the groove 81 when foaming the urethane foam 80, as shown in Figure 5, thus the door handle 50 and the trauma 18 And, the urethane foam 80 is coupled together to make the door 15 and the door handle 50 more tightly coupled.

In the refrigerator of the present invention configured as described above, the refrigerant is circulated in the freezing cycle as the external power is applied.

At this time, the circulating refrigerant changes state to exchange heat with air in the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 inside the main body 10 in the evaporator 16 to cool the air.

The cooled air is forcedly blown by the blower fan 17 to be smoothly supplied to the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber 12 through the freezing chamber duct 18 and the refrigerating chamber duct 19 to the freezing chamber 11 and the refrigerating chamber. The stored food is cooled.

When opening and closing the freezer compartment 11 and the refrigerating compartment 12, the handle portion 74 or the front surface of the handle trim 70 formed on the side surface of the door handle 50 of the freezer compartment 14 or the refrigerating compartment door 15 is formed. Through the handle part 63 of the handle 60, the doors 14 and 15 can be easily opened or closed.

The assembly and installation of the door handle 50 in the refrigerator of the present invention will be described below.

Assembling of the door handle 50, the handle 60 and the handle trim 70 are coupled to each other, the door handle 50 is assembled and installed by fitting to the end of the outer shell 18 of the refrigerating chamber door 15, Then, when the urethane foam 80 is foamed into the doors 14 and 15, the urethane grooves 80 may form a space between the inner and outer wounds 18 and 15 of the doors 14 and 15. Then, the foam is foamed through the grooves 81 formed between the bent portions 62 and 72 of the door handle 50 to finally complete the engagement of the doors 14 and 15 and the door handle 50.

Refrigerator according to the present invention as described above, the handle and the handle trim of the door handle is formed in each of the engaging portion and the engaging projection, and bent portion and close contact with each other firmly, particularly when the foam and urethane foam handle and handle Since urethane foams are foamed together through the grooves formed between the bent portions of the trim, there is an effect that the door handle and the door can be more firmly coupled.
