Refrigerator with rotating shelf {REFRIGERATOR WITH ROTATE SHELF}

The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a rotary shelf, and more particularly, to a refrigerator provided with a rotary shelf in which a shelf rotates up and down, such as a ferris wheel installed in an amusement park.

In general, the refrigerator cools or stores the food stored therein for a long time without deterioration by cooling the air in the refrigerator using a cooling cycle.

Such a conventional refrigerator includes a main body for forming a storage space separated into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, and a door mounted at one side of the main body to open and close a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, and easier storage of food in the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment. There is a shelf to make it work.

That is, the shelf is slidably installed on the inner wall of the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, and when the article is placed on the upper surface, the shelf is deformed by the load of the article, and thus the shelf is formed of reinforced plastic or manufactured from tempered glass.

However, the shelf is easy to store the food in multiple layers, in order to take out the food stored in the back, there was an inconvenience to take out all the food in front.

In order to alleviate such inconveniences, Utility Model Publication No. 1997-044777 discloses a "rotary shelf for refrigerators".

As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary shelf for a refrigerator is a shelf installed in the freezer compartment 11 and the refrigerating compartment 12 of the refrigerator. The rotating means 7 is installed so as to rotate, a circular shelf (4) rotatably installed on the upper or upper and lower portions of the rotating means (7).

That is, the rotary shelf for the refrigerator can easily take out the food stored in the rear by rotating the circular shelf 4 in the left and right direction about the rotating means (7).

However, the conventional rotary shelf for a refrigerator has a problem in that a storage space is narrowed as a space that cannot be used on the outside of the shelf is formed. There was a problem that occurred.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to install a rotary shelf rotating in the vertical direction in the refrigerator can greatly improve the amount of food storage, and the storage space between the shelf and the shelf It is to provide a refrigerator having a rotary shelf that can effectively utilize the.

Refrigerator equipped with a rotary shelf of the present invention for achieving the above object is a rotating piece having a pair of rotary plates rotatably coupled to both inner walls of the refrigerating chamber and a connecting rod for connecting and fixing the pair of rotary plates, the one It is characterized in that it comprises a shelf provided between the pair of rotating plates and both ends are rotatably coupled to the inner surface of the rotating plate, the storage space for storing food.

On the other hand, the refrigerator provided with another rotary shelf is inserted into the refrigerating compartment, the case has a structure that one side is opened and closed by the door, a pair of rotary plates and the pair of rotary plates rotatably coupled to the inner wall surface of the case Rotating piece having a connecting rod for fixing, characterized in that it comprises a shelf provided between the pair of rotating plates, both ends are rotatably coupled to the inner surface of the rotating plate, the storage space for storing food.

A partition for dividing the storage space is installed in the storage space of the shelf, and the door is made of a transparent or translucent material.

The rotating piece rotates in an upward or downward direction through a rotating device, and the rotating device controls a driving motor connected to one side of the rotating shaft of the rotating piece so as to transmit power, and rotates the driving motor clockwise or counterclockwise. It includes the controls.

By installing the rotary shelf having the above configuration in the refrigerator, the space between the shelf and the shelf can be used more efficiently, and the storage space can be greatly expanded, and the food placed at the rear can be conveniently taken out. In addition, it can be stored separately according to the type of food on a plurality of shelves rotating up and down has the effect of improving the storage efficiency.

As shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerator provided with the rotary shelf according to the present invention includes a main body 100 forming a storage space separated into a refrigerating chamber 110 and a freezing chamber 120, and the main body 100 of the refrigerator 100. It is mounted on one side and includes a door 200 for opening and closing the refrigerating chamber 110 and the freezing chamber 120.

The refrigerator compartment 110 and the freezing compartment 120 are provided with a plurality of shelves 300 for storing food in the vertical direction.

In addition, a rotary shelf device 400 is installed between the shelf 300 and the shelf 300 for easier storage of food, and the rotary shelf device 400 is detachably installed in the refrigerator. It is preferable.

That is, by attaching and detaching the rotary shelf device 400 according to the user's convenience, the storage space of the refrigerator can be utilized more efficiently.
