Description

Assembly shelf for refrigerator {ASSEMBLY SHELF FOR REFRIGERATOR}

The present invention relates to an assembly shelf for a refrigerator, and more particularly, to an assembly shelf for a refrigerator that can adjust the length of the shelf to adjust the storage space of the food.

In general, a refrigerator is a home appliance that maintains an internal temperature lower than a room temperature, so that food stored may be stored for a long time in a refrigerated or frozen state.

In such a refrigerator, a storage compartment in which food is stored is formed.

The storage compartment includes a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment, and stores foods requiring various refrigeration storage in the storage compartment.

Thus, the refrigerator in which food is stored is provided with the shelf which supports food.

In general, the shelf is fixed inside the refrigerator main body in a state where food is stored thereon.

That is, in the case of a shelf used for a general refrigerator, the shelf can be fixed along the guide part provided on the side wall of the refrigerator main body.

However, the shelves used in the conventional refrigerators are fixed in a horizontal form at regular intervals up and down as described above, so that the shelf located at the upper side is separated from the storage compartment in order to set up a long beverage bottle or wine bottle. Alternatively, the shelf may be moved upward to provide a storage space for storing the beverage bottle or the wine bottle.

Therefore, there is a problem that the space utilization of the refrigerator storage room is inferior.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a projection along the longitudinal direction of one side, connecting the unit shelf structure having a groove along the longitudinal direction of the other side to each other By freely adjusting the length of the shelves to be separated or separated, to provide an assembly shelf for a refrigerator that can increase the utilization of the internal space of the refrigerator.

In order to achieve the above object, the assembly shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention includes a plurality of unit shelf structures including a body portion having a predetermined length and each of which has fixing portions formed on both sides of the body portion, wherein the plurality of unit shelf structures Characterized in that it is continuously coupled to each other through a fixing portion.

The fixing part, the first element formed on one side of the body portion of the unit shelf structure; And a second element formed at the other side of the body part and generating a coupling force by interacting with a first element of another unit shelf structure.

The first element is a protrusion formed along the longitudinal direction of one side of the body portion, and the second element is a groove portion formed along the longitudinal direction of the other side of the body portion.

The body portion is hollow is formed inside, characterized in that a plurality of reinforcing ribs are formed inside the hollow.

The reinforcing ribs are formed extending in the longitudinal direction of the body portion, characterized in that formed inclined in the vertical direction while maintaining a constant gap therebetween.

According to the refrigerator assembly rack according to the present invention having the configuration described above, it is possible to freely adjust the length of the shelf to increase the utilization of the internal space of the refrigerator, in particular, there is an effect that can effectively store long food.

2 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing a unit shelf structure according to the present invention.
3 is a cross-sectional perspective view illustrating a state in which the unit shelf structures according to the present invention are coupled to each other.

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

1 is a view showing a state of use of the assembly shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a unit shelf structure according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a state in which the unit shelf structure according to the present invention coupled to each other It is a sectional perspective view which shows.

1, the refrigerator includes a main body 100 having a storage compartment, a refrigerating compartment door 110 and a freezing compartment door 120 that selectively open and close the storage compartment.

The storage compartment is divided into a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment, and each door 110 and 120 is rotatably installed in front of the storage compartment.

The refrigerator compartment door 110 is provided with a plurality of storage pockets 111 to accommodate food.

In addition, the main body 100 is provided with a detachable shelf 10 for storing food.

The shelf 10 partitions the storage space of the refrigerating compartment, and can be fixed in the main body 100 in a horizontal direction along the guide portion 112 provided on the side wall of the refrigerator main body 100.

As described above, the shelf 10 according to the present invention includes a body portion 12 having a channel shape having a predetermined length, as shown in FIGS. A plurality of unit shelf structures 11 are provided, and the plurality of unit shelf structures 11 are continuously coupled to each other through the fixing part.

The fixing part may include a first element formed at one side of the body part 12 of the unit shelf structure 11 and a second element formed at the other side to interact with the first element of the other unit shelf structure 11 to generate a coupling force. It consists of two elements.

Here, the first element is a protrusion 13 formed along the longitudinal direction of one side of the body portion 12, and the second element is a groove portion 14 formed along the longitudinal direction of the other side of the body portion 12.

However, the fixing unit is not limited, and any unit structure may be formed as long as the unit shelf structures 11 coupled to each other are not easily separated.

For example, the first element may be the groove 14, and the second element may be the protrusion 13.

Accordingly, the protrusions 13 (grooves 14) of the unit shelf structure 11 are coupled to the grooves 14 (protrusions 13) of the other unit shelf structure 11 so that the length of the shelf 10 is free. It becomes adjustable.

That is, long foods such as beverage bottles or wine bottles can be effectively stored in front of the shelf 10.

2 and 3, the body portion 12 of the unit shelf structure 11 has a hollow cross-section in the cross-sectional shape thereof, and a plurality of reinforcement inside the hollow. The rib 15 is formed.

The reinforcing rib 15 is formed in a thin plate shape extending along the longitudinal direction of the body part 12, and is formed to be inclined in the vertical direction while maintaining a constant gap between the reinforcing ribs 15.

When such a reinforcing rib 15 is installed in the inner space of the body part 12, the weight of the shelf 10 can be reduced while sufficiently enduring the bending moment of the shelf 10.

Here, the reinforcing rib 15 has a supporting force capable of supporting the food without deformation of the body portion 12 with respect to the load of the food stored on the shelf 10, which is the reinforcing rib 15 It may vary depending on the number of.

As described above, according to the assembled shelf for a refrigerator according to the present invention, the length of the shelf 10 can be freely adjusted according to the characteristics of the user or the food stored in the storage compartment, thereby increasing the utilization of the internal space of the refrigerator.

In particular, by installing a reinforcing rib 15 in the inner space of the shelf 10 to reduce the weight of the shelf 10 and to withstand the bending moment of the shelf 10 sufficiently.
