Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

1 is a perspective view illustrating a height adjusting shelf of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded view illustrating a height adjusting shelf of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the height adjusting shelf of the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention is slidably moved along the guide 310 provided in the storage room 300 of the refrigerator in which food is stored, and the height is adjustable. The storage compartment 300 is partitioned so as to be. Here, the guide 310 is provided in the storage chamber 300 to form a slide movement path of the lifting member 200 to be described later.

The height adjusting shelf of the refrigerator includes a shelf member 100 and a lifting member 200.

The shelf member 100 is provided in at least one storage compartment 300 in which food is stored to partition the storage compartment 300.

The shelf member 100 includes a shelf 110 and an elevation support 120.

The shelf 110 partitions the storage compartment 300 in the height direction. The shelf unit 110 may load food.

The lifting support part 120 is coupled to the lifting member 200 so as to slide. As the elevating member 200 slides on the elevating supporter 120, the elevating member 200 may elevate the shelf 110. Here, when the elevating member 200 includes the moving member 240, the elevating supporter 120 may elevate the shelf 110 by being coupled to the movable member 240 to be slidably movable.

The lifting support part 120 extends downward from the edge of the shelf part 110 corresponding to the guide 310.

The elevating member 120 may include an elevating member 121 and an elevating guide part 123 that form a movement path by the elevating member 200. Lift limit portion 121 is formed long in the height direction, the lift guide is formed to be inclined inclined.

Here, when the elevating member 200 includes a pair of screw members 220, at least one screw member of the pair of screw members 220 is inserted into the elevating limiting portion 121 to screw the member 220 Will form a moving path.

In addition, when the elevating member 200 includes the moving member 240, the elevating guide portion 123 is inserted into the moving guide portion 243 of the moving member 240 to form a moving path of the moving member 240. do. In particular, the elevating guide portion 123 is formed to be inclined inclined in the elevating support portion 120, so that the moving member 240 is moved along the elevating guide portion 123 to elevate the shelf 110.

At least one of the above-described lifting limiting unit 121 and the lifting guide unit 123 may limit the lifting height of the shelf member 100.

The elevating member 200 is slidably coupled to the storage chamber 300 and elevates the shelf member 100. The lifting member 200 includes a pair of screw members 220, a rotating member 210, and a moving member 240.

The pair of screw members 220 are elongated in the slide movement direction, and a thread is formed around the screw member 220.

The rotating member 210 rotates at least one screw member of the pair of screw members 220.

The moving member 240 is slidably coupled to the guide 310 provided in the storage chamber 300 and slides along the screw member 220 by the rotation of the screw member 220 to move the shelf member 100. Elevate.

In particular, the moving member 240 includes a sliding portion 241 and the guide portion 242, 243.

The sliding part 241 slides along the screw member 220 by the rotation of the screw member 220. The sliding part 241 is screwed to the screw member 220, and may slide along the screw member 220 by the rotation of the screw member 220.

The guide parts 242 and 243 are provided in the sliding part 241 and are slidably coupled to the guide 310 and the shelf member 100 of the storage compartment 300. Here, when the shelf member 100 includes a lift guide part 123, the guide parts 242 and 243 are slidably coupled to the lift guide part 123 of the shelf member 100.

Accordingly, when the screw member 220 is rotated through the rotating member 210, the sliding part 241 of the moving member 240 slides along the screw member 220 and at the same time, the guide part 242 of the moving member 240. , 243 slides along the guide 310 of the storage compartment 300. At this time, the guide parts 242 and 243 of the moving member 240 slide along the lifting guide part 123 of the inclined shelf member 100 so that the shelf member 100 is raised or lowered and the shelf member 100 is moved. You can adjust the height of).

The guide parts 242 and 243 may be divided into a support guide part 242 and a movement guide part 243.

The support guide part 242 is provided on one side of the sliding part 241 to be slidably coupled to the guide 310 of the storage compartment 300, and the movement guide part 243 is provided on the other side of the sliding part 241. It is coupled to the lifting guide 123 of the shelf member 100 so as to slide.

Lifting member 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a transmission member 230.

The transmission member 230 connects the pair of screw members 220 such that the pair of screw members 220 are interlocked with each other. The transmission member 230 may be configured of any one of a belt, a chain, and a gear connecting the pair of screw members 220, and the type of the transmission member 230 is not limited thereto.

Now, the height adjustment operation of the shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

3 and 4 is an installation state diagram showing a shelf adjusted to a low position in an embodiment of the present invention, Figures 5 and 6 is an installation state diagram showing a shelf adjusted to a high position in an embodiment of the present invention to be.

3 to 6, the end of the screw member 220 is inserted into the lifting limit 121 of the shelf member 100, and the end of at least one screw member of the pair of screw members 220. The rotating member 210 is provided.

Since the support guide part 242 of the elevating member 200 is slidably coupled to the guide 310 of the storage chamber 300, the shelf is slidably moved along the guide 310 to withdraw or withdraw the shelf.

First, when the rotating member 210 is rotated, a pair of screw members 220 are rotated. At this time, the transmission member 230 is provided, it is possible to rotate a pair of screw member 220 with one rotating member 210.

Then, the moving member 240 slides along the screw member 220. In this case, the support guide part 242 slides along the guide 310 of the storage chamber 300, and the movement guide part 243 slides along the lifting guide part 123 of the shelf member 100.

At this time, when moving the shelf member of the lower position as shown in Figures 3 and 4 to a higher position as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the movement guide portion 243 along the lifting guide portion 123 It moves to the lower side can raise the shelf member (100).

In addition, when moving the shelf member 100 of the high position as shown in Figures 5 and 6 to a lower position as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the movement guide portion 243 is the lifting guide portion 123 Move upward to follow the shelf member 100 can be lowered.

Although not shown, the rollers are rotatably coupled to the guide portions 242 and 243 of the elevating member 200 or the guide 310 of the storage chamber 300 to smoothly pull out and pull out of the shelf, and the shelf member 100. When the ascending and descending, the guide portion 242, 243 of the elevating member 200 can smoothly slide the guide 310 of the storage compartment 300 or the elevating guide portion 123 of the shelf member 100. .

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. I will understand.

Accordingly, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
