Description

Shelf for refrigerator {Shelf for refrigerator}

The present invention relates to a shelf for a refrigerator having a partition in which an internal space is divided.

The present invention relates to a shelf for a refrigerator and is a storage container for storing foods such as vegetables or fruits in the refrigerator.

In order to utilize the internal space of the shelf, a conventional method of dividing the internal space of the shelf by using a partition has been used.

However, the partition for dividing the internal space of the shelf used in the conventional refrigerator is fixed or hook-type fixed type is removable structure.

Fixed partitions were difficult to utilize space when you want to store different kinds of food on one shelf.

In addition, the hook-type fixed type has a problem that it is difficult to store the partition separately in the state of removing the partition from the shelf only removable structure.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention to provide a partition that can utilize the internal space of the shelf according to the characteristics of different types of food in the shelf.

Refrigerator shelf according to the present invention, the upper portion of the cylindrical receiving portion open; And a partition including a rotating shaft and a first surface and a second surface formed on the rotating shaft, wherein the partition is hinged inside the accommodating portion, and either one of the first surface and the second surface is accommodated. When lying on the bottom surface of the portion, the remaining portion is characterized in that it is erected inside the receiving portion.

The shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention is characterized in that any one of the first surface and the second surface comprises a curved surface.

Refrigerator shelf according to the present invention, the engaging groove formed in the receiving portion; An expansion part formed at one end and the other end of the rotation shaft; Characterized in that it comprises a spring and the engaging projection is installed inside the expansion,

According to the shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention has the following advantages.

According to the degree of contact with the cold of the food stored in the shelf, there is an advantage that the food can be selectively stored on the first surface on which the curved surface is formed and the second surface of the flat plate shape.

In addition, since the space for storing food is provided on one side of the shelf where the food is not stored (that is, the side where the first and second surfaces are not separated), the space utilization of the shelf is easy.

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

For reference, among the configurations of the present invention to be described below, the same configuration as the prior art will be referred to the above-described prior art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a perspective view of a shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention,

2 is a cross-sectional view of a shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention.

3 is a cross-sectional view of a shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention.

4 is a cross-sectional view of a shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention.

The accommodating part 1 is formed in a tubular shape in which an upper surface consisting of a bottom surface 40 and a front surface 10, a rear surface 20, and a side surface 30 formed continuously with the bottom surface 40 is opened.

The length of the side surface 30 is preferably formed longer than the length of the front surface 10 and the rear surface 20.

A protruding surface 50 is formed at the upper end of the front side 10, the rear side 20, and the side surface 30 (that is, the upper end of the receiving portion).

The protruding surface 50 is formed in an L-shape, and a groove is formed between the protruding surface 50 and the front surface 10, the rear surface 20, and the side surface 30.

A locking groove 60 is formed at the lower side of the side surface 30 (that is, the inner lower side of the accommodation part).

The outer side of the side wall 30 protrudes by the locking groove 60, and the inner side surface of the side wall 30 is recessed.

The partition 200 is hinged inside the receiving portion 1.

The partition 200 includes a rotating shaft 120 and a first surface 100 and a second surface 110 formed on the rotating shaft 120.

The angle between the first surface 100 and the second surface 110 may be various, but preferably formed to form a right angle.

That is, when any one of the first surface 100 or the second surface 110 is lying on the bottom surface 40 of the receiving portion 1, the remaining one to stand in the interior of the receiving portion (1). To be possible.

That is, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the first surface 100 is laid on the bottom surface 40, the second surface 110 is erected, and the second surface 110 erected as such. Is to divide the internal space of the receiving portion (1).

In this case, when the food is placed on the first surface 100, the partition is naturally laid on the bottom surface 40 by the weight of the food, and the second surface 110 is erected. It will be fixed.

One of the first surface 100 and the second (110) surface is made of a curved surface, the other is made of a flat plate shape.

For example, a concave portion and a convex portion are continuously formed on the first surface 100, and accordingly, the first surface 100 is formed to be curved in a wavy shape.

An expansion part 125 is formed at one end and the other end of the rotation shaft 120, and a cross-sectional thickness of the expansion part 125 is made thicker than a center of the rotation shaft 120, and accommodated inside the expansion part 125. Grooves are formed.

A locking surface is formed at an end portion (ie, the inlet portion of the receiving groove) of the expansion portion 125.

A spring 123 and a locking protrusion 121 are inserted into the receiving groove.

The locking protrusion 121 includes a cylindrical body and a protruding surface protruding to the outside of the body.

By the locking surface formed in the protruding surface and the receiving groove the locking projection is not separated out of the receiving groove.

As the locking protrusion 121 is inserted into the locking groove 60, the partition 200 is hinged inside the accommodating part 1.

According to the present invention, a method of using a shelf for a refrigerator is as follows.

When you want to store foods that require a lot of contact with cold to maintain freshness, such as vegetables, so that the first surface 100, the curved surface is formed on the floor, the food on the first surface 100 Will be released.

At this time, by the weight of the food, the partition is naturally fixed to the first surface 100 is laid on the bottom surface 40 and the second surface 110 is upright.

Since the cold air can be smoothly circulated between the concave portion and the convex portion formed on the first surface 100 where the curved surface is formed, there is an advantage that the cold air is smoothly supplied to the food.

In addition, since the distance between the bottom surface of the shelf and the food is separated, the food is prevented from being frozen by the low temperature of the shelf bottom surface.

When storing foods that do not require much contact with cold, the second surface 110 having a flat plate shape is placed on the bottom, and the food is placed on the second surface 110.

At this time, by the weight of the food, the partition is naturally fixed to the second surface 110 is laid on the bottom surface 40 and the first surface 100 is upright.

The present invention is suitable to provide a partition that can utilize the internal space of the shelf according to the characteristics of different kinds of food in the shelf.
