Abstract

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and in particular, comprising a moving member installed to be movable in the front and rear direction with respect to the handle installed on the door, and the other end of the moving member is formed to face the main body through the door, A refrigerator is provided for easily opening the door.

Description

Refrigerator {Refrigerator}

The present invention relates to a refrigerator door handle.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional refrigerator includes a main body 1, a reservoir disposed inside the main body 1 and having a front surface open, a door 3 opening and closing the front surface of the reservoir, and A handle 4 attached to the door 3 and a gasket (not shown) in contact with the rear surface of the door 3 in the main body 1.

By the gasket (not shown), the reservoir is sealed.

In such a refrigerator, when the door 3 is opened and closed, a negative pressure is generated inside the reservoir due to a pressure difference between the reservoir and the outside, so that the sealing force between the door 3 and the gasket (not shown) is firm, so that the consumer The problem arises that the main body 1 must be held by one hand and the door 3 must be opened by the other hand.

In addition, since a lot of power is required to open the door (3), a problem arises that it is particularly difficult for the elderly or children.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, it is easy to open the door by installing a moving member on the handle.

Refrigerator of the present invention for achieving the above object, the front is opened and disposed inside the main body, the door for opening and closing the front of the storage, the handle provided on the front of the door, and the front and rear with respect to the handle And a moving member installed to be movable in a direction, and a part of the moving member is formed to face the main body through the door.

In addition, it is provided between the door and the movable member, and includes an elastic member for returning the movable member to its original position when the pressure on the movable member is released.

According to the refrigerator of the present invention as described above, there are the following effects.

The door can be easily opened with a small force by the movable member installed to be movable in the front and rear direction with respect to the handle.

Including an elastic member provided between the door and the movable member, the position of the movable member can be easily returned to its original state after the door is opened.

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.

2 is an operation diagram when the door is closed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is an operation diagram when the door is opened in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a plan view of Figure 2, Figure 5 is Figure 3 Top view of the.

As shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerator of the present invention includes a storage compartment having a front surface open and disposed inside the main body 1, a door 3 opening and closing the front surface of the storage compartment, and a front surface of the door 3. It comprises a handle (4) installed on, and a movable member (5) installed to be movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the handle (4).

The door 3 has a through hole 30 through which the second bar 52 of the moving member 5 to be described later is formed.

The moving member 5 has a 'b' shape and includes a first bar 51 and a second bar 52.

One end of the first bar 51 is coupled to one end of the handle 4 and the hinge 6 to face the handle 4.

A guide groove 53 is formed at the rear of the first bar 5 to accommodate the handle 4.

The second bar 52 is formed so as to face the main body 1 through the door 3 at the other end of the first bar 51.

When the first bar 51 rotates, the second bar 52 moves forward and backward through the through hole 30, and the handle 4 is guided when the second bar 52 moves backward. It is accommodated in the groove 53.

The connecting portion of the first bar 52 and the second bar 53 is spaced apart from the handle 4 at regular intervals.

An elastic member 7 is installed between the door 3 and the movable member 5.

The elastic member 7 causes the movable member 5 to return to its original position when the pressure on the movable member 5 is released.

The elastic member 7 may be a spring.

The elastic member 7 may be installed in the guide groove 53.

The operation of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described below.

At the same time as pushing the first bar 51 of the movable member 5 backward, the handle 3 can be grasped and pulled forward to open the door 3.

After opening the door 3, the first bar 51 is returned to its original position by the spring 7, and when the door 3 is closed, the door 3 can be completely closed.

In another embodiment, the movable member 5 is installed in parallel with the handle 4, so that the entire movable member 5 moves in the front and rear directions, so that the door 3 can be opened and closed.

As described above, although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art various modifications or variations of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below Can be carried out.

As mentioned above, the refrigerator which concerns on this invention is especially suitable for the drawer-type refrigerator which can open a door easily.

1 is a perspective view of a conventional refrigerator.

2 is an operation when the door is closed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

3 is an operation when opening the door according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
