Description

Door basket removable coupling structure of the refrigerator

The present invention relates to a door basket of a refrigerator provided with a plurality of spaced apart in the vertical direction inside the refrigerating compartment door, and more particularly to a door basket detachable coupling structure of the refrigerator to be able to freely adjust the height of the door basket for the door.

In general, a refrigerator comprises a main body of a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment, and a door is installed at a front portion of the main body.

By operating the freezer compartment and the refrigeration cycle to create cold air in the refrigerator to circulate the food to be stored and refrigerated, the refrigeration cycle is a high-pressure section where the refrigerant gas is maintained at a high pressure state and the refrigerant gas is a low pressure It consists of a low pressure part which is maintained in a state and circulates.

The high pressure unit includes a compressor for converting low-temperature low-pressure gas refrigerant into a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant, a condenser for converting the high-temperature, high-pressure gas refrigerant changed in the compressor into a liquid refrigerant of room temperature and high pressure, and a liquid refrigerant at room temperature and high pressure through the condenser. It consists of a dryer for dehumidifying.

And a capillary tube for converting the liquid refrigerant of room temperature and high pressure dehumidified through the low pressure section into a liquid refrigerant of low temperature and low pressure, an evaporator for absorbing external heat while changing the liquid refrigerant of low temperature and low pressure changed in the capillary into a gas state, and the evaporator It consists of an accumulator that blocks the vaporized liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor.

In this refrigeration cycle, as shown in FIG. 1, the evaporator 2A is installed perpendicular to the cold air circulation path 2B at the rear side of the freezing chamber 2 in the refrigerator main body 1 to change the air in the refrigerator to cold. The cold air is forced to circulate in the inside of the cold air circulation path 2B by the driving of the blowing fan 2C provided on the upper side of the evaporator 2A and the blowing force thereof. The circulated freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment cold air flow into the freezer compartment suction duct 4A and the refrigerator compartment suction duct 4B formed in the partition wall 4 between the freezer compartment 2 and the refrigerating compartment 3, respectively. Part of the freezer compartment and the cold air returned to the side of the evaporator 2B is discharged to the refrigerating compartment 3 through the refrigerating compartment 3 back side of the cold air circulation path 2B, and then again to the evaporator through the refrigerating compartment suction duct 4B. The food is stored and refrigerated while the inside of the refrigerator is kept at a set low temperature by the circulation method returning to (2A) side, and when the temperature becomes lower than that, operation by the refrigeration cycle is stopped.

On the other hand, inside the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment doors 5 and 6, several door baskets 7 for storing various foods are spaced vertically in the doors 5 and 6, respectively. In order to install it, several fixing holes 2E are formed in the vertical direction at intervals on both inner side wall fixing sides 2D of the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment doors 5 and 6, respectively. Fixing projections 7A inserted into the fixing holes 2E are formed at both side wall portions of the door basket 70. Accordingly, the operator can fix the fixing projections 7A formed on both side wall portions of the door basket 7 to the fixing holes 2E formed on the fixing sides of the doors 5 and 6.

However, the door basket structure of the conventional refrigerator has a structure in which the height cannot be adjusted after assembly by fitting holes by the fixing protrusion as described above, so that in the case of food having a height longer than the distance between the door baskets Not only can not be stored in the door basket, but on the contrary, in the case of food having a height significantly smaller than the distance between the door basket, there is a problem that a lot of waste space is generated on the upper side of the food. In addition, as a result, the efficiency of space utilization inside the door is lowered, as well as more food can not be stored, resulting in inconvenience in use and deterioration in reliability of the device.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to allow the user to arbitrarily freely adjust the height of the doors of the door baskets which are installed at intervals in the vertical direction in the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment.
