Abstract

The present invention relates to a door of a side dish refrigerator, wherein a hinge axis protrudes from both sides so as to fit into a hinge hole provided to face each other with a partition wall and a rear upper end of a side surface of a refrigerator case, and an upper surface portion of a refrigerator case to open and close an upper portion of a storage compartment. And an upper plate portion rotatably mounted on the upper plate portion, and a vertical plate portion formed by bending the upper plate portion vertically downward to open and close the front portion of the storage compartment and positioned at the front portion of the refrigerator case. Therefore, when the door is opened, the two sides of the storage compartment of the side dish refrigerator is open, so it is easy to take out and store the side dish, and has a smaller opening and closing radius when the door is opened and closed, such as a bowl placed in front of the side dish refrigerator. There is an advantage that the turning operation of the door of the side dish refrigerator is not prevented.

Description

A door of refrigerator for side dishes}

The present invention relates to a door of a side dish refrigerator, and more particularly, to a side dish refrigerator door having a smaller radius of rotation to facilitate opening and closing of the door.

The side dish refrigerator is, for example, a small refrigerator, which is stored in a small container such as a side dish, and is designed to store high frequency food items. The side dish refrigerator has a storage compartment in which side dishes are stored and a machine room equipped with a cooling device for cooling the storage compartment. The cooling of the storage compartment is performed by a conventional cooling apparatus, for example, a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator connected to each other through a refrigerant pipe. Or thermoelectric semiconductor utilizing a thermoelectric effect.

1 shows a side dish refrigerator equipped with a conventional door, and a door 3 is mounted on a front side of the storage compartment 2 to open and close the storage compartment 2 in which the side dishes are stored. The front part of the refrigerator case 1 is provided with a hinge piece 4 protruding toward the front of the refrigerator, and the hinge pieces 4 are hinged to both upper end portions of the refrigerator door 3, respectively. In addition, the door support cylinder 5 is mounted between the door and the refrigerator case so as not to be closed by the load of the door in the open state. Therefore, the user turns the door 3 of the side dish refrigerator upward with respect to the hinge piece 4, and opens and stores the side dish.

Furthermore, the side dish refrigerators are mounted between the top counters of the sinks in a built-in manner installed at the same time as the sinks for ease of use.

However, when the side dish refrigerator having the configuration as described above is used, for example, in a narrow place such as a table, opening and closing of the door is prevented by an obstacle such as a bowl placed within the rotation radius of the door, and the door is fully opened. If not, blocking the view to the storage compartment and taking out or storing the storage has a disadvantage of poor.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a door of a side dish refrigerator having a smaller radius of rotation so as to be easy to use even in a narrow place and having a structure that facilitates the storage of the storage to the storage compartment.

An object of the present invention as described above is provided with a hinge shaft protruding from both sides so as to fit into the hinge hole provided opposite each other to the partition and the upper end of the rear side of the refrigerator case side plate and pivoting on the upper surface of the refrigerator case to open and close the upper part of the storage compartment. It is easily achieved by a door of a side dish refrigerator comprising a top plate portion possibly mounted and a vertical plate portion formed by bending the top plate portion vertically downward to open and close the front portion of the storage compartment located at the front portion of the refrigerator case.

Hereinafter, the door according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 2 shows a side dish refrigerator equipped with a door according to the present invention, the side dish refrigerator has a temperature control switch 7 for controlling the temperature of the storage compartment in the front of the machine room of the refrigerator case 10 and power for power supply A switch 8 is provided.

The storage chamber 30 is partitioned from the machine room 40 by the partition wall 12 and includes a side wall 11, a partition wall 12, a rear wall 13, and a space surrounded by a floor of the refrigerator case. The storage compartment 30 is sealed by the door 20 at the upper end of the rear side of the refrigerator case which is pivotally mounted.

The door 20 includes an upper plate portion 21 positioned on the upper surface of the refrigerator case 10 and a vertical plate portion 22 formed by vertically bending the front edge of the upper plate portion so as to closely contact the front portion of the refrigerator case 10. And two surfaces of the storage chamber, that is, the front part and the upper portion of the storage chamber are sealed.

When the door is closed, as shown in Figure 3, the upper plate portion 21 is placed in close contact with the upper end of the side wall 11, the partition wall, the rear wall 13 of the refrigerator case, respectively, the vertical plate portion 22 of the storage compartment It is in close contact with the front part of the refrigerator case to seal the front part.

Furthermore, referring to FIG. 4, which shows the door of the side dish refrigerator, the upper plate portion 21 of the door is provided such that the hinge shafts 21a protrude from both sides of the rear edges. In addition, the hinge shaft 21a is fitted in a hinge hole (not shown) provided to face the side wall and the partition wall of the refrigerator case so as to be pivotally mounted to the refrigerator case.

In addition, a close contact means 50 such as plastic is provided so that the refrigerator door and the refrigerator case are not separated from each other while the refrigerator door is closed. The contact means 50 is attached to the inner surface of the upper plate portion 21 and the vertical plate portion 22 so that the door 20 is in close contact with the refrigerator case by magnetic force when the door is closed.

Moreover, at least one projection 25 is provided on the circumference around the hinge shaft 21a provided on both sides of the upper plate portion to prevent the refrigerator door from being closed by the load of the door in the open state of the refrigerator door. In addition, a plurality of locking grooves (not shown) are radially provided on a circumference around a hinge hole respectively provided on the side wall and the partition wall of the refrigerator case so as to engage with the protrusion.

By the above configuration, when the user pulls the handle 24 provided on the front of the vertical plate portion, the projection 25 is inserted into the engaging groove and engaged, thereby preventing the door from being closed by its own load.

Therefore, the door of the side dish refrigerator according to the present invention opens two sides of the storage compartment at the same time, so it is easy to take out or store the side dishes to the storage compartment, and has a smaller opening and closing radius when the door is opened and closed. There is an advantage that the turning operation of the door of the side dish refrigerator is not prevented by an obstacle such as.
