Description

REFRIGERATOR HAVING DRAWER TYPE DOOR}

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator having a drawer type door having a rail guided forward along guide grooves formed on left and right sides of a main body.

In general, the refrigerator is to maintain the freshness of the food, etc. stored in the main body, by installing a shelf in the storage compartment to store the food, such as stored by type to divide the inside of the storage compartment into a plurality of storage spaces, Each storage space is opened and closed via a separate door.

Most of the refrigerator doors are opened and closed while rotating around the hinge, but since a space must be provided on the left and right sides so as not to be interfered with by the rotational movement of the door, a refrigerator having a drawer type door is recently used.

By the way, when the drawer door is located at the top of the refrigerator, a small child can pull out the drawer door by holding a handle, but the type of food stored in the storage container inside the door cannot be identified. there was.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention, by the drawer-type door, and the storage container inside the door is configured to be lowered at the same time withdrawal, even a small child easily kinds of food To be able to check and pull it out.

In order to achieve the above object, a refrigerator provided with a drawer type door according to the present invention includes: a main body having guide grooves formed on both side walls of the storage space having an open front surface; A door installed at a front of the drawer to open and close the storage space; And a storage container capable of being pulled out together with the door and having guide members guided along the guide groove formed on both sides thereof, wherein the door and the storage container are drawn out forward and guided downward. .

The guide groove may include a horizontal groove formed on both sidewalls of the main body in parallel to the front and rear directions; And a vertical groove disposed in the vicinity of the front end of the main body and extending downward.

The guide member may include: guide rails fixed to both sides of the storage container to support horizontal movement; And a guide roller formed spaced apart from the guide rail and guided along the vertical groove.

The guide member is characterized in that the guide roller is configured to be guided downward along the vertical groove when the guide rail is separated from the horizontal groove forward.

The inner side of the vertical groove is characterized in that the buffer member for providing a buffer force in the vertical direction to the guide roller.

The door and the main body front side is characterized in that the flexible wire is connected.

According to the refrigerator with a drawer type door according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the drawer door and the storage container inside the door are configured to descend at the same time as the drawer is pulled out, so that even a small child can easily identify and take out the type of food. It is effective to provide convenience for use.

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

1 is a perspective view showing a refrigerator with a pull-out door according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a refrigerator with a pull-out door according to the present invention.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the refrigerator main body 100 has a storage space formed therein and an open front surface thereof.

The storage space is selectively opened by the door 110 provided on the front surface of the main body 100.

In addition, guide grooves 101 are formed on both sidewalls of the main body 100.

The guide groove 101 is formed to correspond to the shape of the guide member to be described later, the guide member 101 is inserted into the guide groove 101 is guided.

Here, the guide groove 101 is composed of a horizontal groove (101a) formed in parallel in the front-rear direction of the main body 100 and a vertical groove (101b) formed in the vicinity of the front end of the main body 100 extending downward have. That is, the shape of the guide groove 101 is made of a substantially 'T' shape.

The door 110 is formed in a drawer type to open and close the storage space, and is installed in an appropriate size and number depending on the size and use of the refrigerator.

The inside of the door 110 may be withdrawn and withdrawn together with the door 110, and a box-shaped storage container 120 having an open top is provided.

In addition, both sides of the storage container 120 is provided with a guide rail 121, which is a guide member fixed to the storage container 120 to support horizontal movement.

The guide rail 121 is inserted into the guide groove 101 to support the door 110.

In addition, both sides of the storage container 120 is provided with a guide roller 122, which is formed to be spaced apart from the guide rail 121, the guide member guided along the guide groove 101.

The guide roller 122 is guided along the guide groove 101 at an adjacent rearward position of the guide rail 121, when the guide rail 121 is separated from the guide groove 101 in the front, the guide roller 122 is configured to be guided downward along the vertical groove (101b).

In the refrigerator having a drawer type door according to the present invention configured as described above, the guide rail 121 is guided to the guide groove 101 so that the door 110 can be pulled out and pulled in the front and rear directions of the main body 100. do.

3 to 5 are views showing the operating state of the pull-out door according to the present invention.

Figure 3 shows the initial operating state of the pull-out door, the guide rail 121 is started to move along the guide groove 101 parallel to the front and rear direction, the storage container 120 is also guided in parallel to the withdrawal Will perform the action.

4 and 5, when the guide rail 121 of the door 110 is pulled out in parallel along the horizontal groove 101a to be completely opened, the guide roller 122 is vertical groove 101b. Since guided downward along the door 110 and the storage container 120 is lowered downward.

A compression spring for imparting cushioning force in the vertical direction to the guide roller 122 to allow the door 110 and the storage container 120 to be slowly lowered by a cushion function and to have a smooth opening operation inside the vertical groove 101b. The buffer member 123 which consists of 123a is provided.

Here, the shock absorbing member 123 is limited to the compression spring 123a, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the door 110 and the storage container 120 are abrupt. Any configuration may be adopted as long as it can descend smoothly without impact from operation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the damper 123b may be formed.

In addition, when the door 110 and the storage container 120 descends downward along the vertical groove 101b, the door 110 and the storage container 120 can be stably lowered to the door 110 and the storage container 120. The flexible wire 124 connecting the upper side of the main body 100 is provided.

The flexible wire 124 is preferably drawn out together when the door 110 is drawn out and is configured to have some restoring force. In addition, similar to the configuration of a commercial tape measure, if a force is applied in the direction in which the door 110 is taken out, a force for restoring to the original position can be obtained.

Therefore, the present invention can be pulled down after pulling out the drawer type door 110 forward, so that even a small child can easily check the type of food stored in the storage container 120.
