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-type door is located at the top of the refrigerator, there is a problem that can not determine the type of food stored in the storage container inside the door for a small child.

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 resilient and rotated at the same time, even a small child easily food It is to be able to confirm the kind and take out.

In order to achieve the above object, a refrigerator provided with a drawer type door according to the present invention includes: a refrigerator main body having a front opening with a storage space formed therein, and having guide grooves formed in parallel in the front and rear directions on both side walls thereof; 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 grooves formed on both sides thereof, wherein the storage container is pulled forward and the tip thereof is rotatable downward. It features.

The guide member may include: first guide rails fixed to both sides of the storage container and guided along the guide grooves; And a second guide rail formed spaced apart from the first guide rail and guided along the guide groove, and having a rotation shaft capable of relative rotation at the center thereof.

At the circumference of the rotating shaft is characterized in that the elastic member is installed to maintain the horizontal state, and to return to the initial position after rotation.

A stopper is provided at the front end of the second guide rail.

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

In addition, there is an effect that can be easily restored to the original state of the drawer type door by installing an elastic member on the rotation part without effort.

1 is an exploded perspective view showing a refrigerator provided with a pull-out door according to the present invention.
2 to 4 is a view showing the operating state of the pull-out door according to the present invention.

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

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

As shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerator main body 100 is formed in a shape in which an accommodation space is formed and an open front surface thereof.

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

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, the first guide rail 121, which is a guide member fixed to the storage container 120 to support horizontal movement, is installed at both sides of the storage container 120.

In addition, guide grooves 101 are formed on both sidewalls of the refrigerator main body 100 in parallel to the front and rear directions of the refrigerator main body 100.

Accordingly, the first guide rail 121 is inserted into the guide groove 101 to support the door 110.

The guide groove 101 is formed to correspond to the shape of the first guide rail 121, the first guide rail 121 is guided along the guide groove 101.

In addition, both side surfaces of the storage container 120 are provided with a second guide rail 122 which is formed to be spaced apart from the first guide rail 121 and guide members guided along the guide groove 101. have.

The second guide rail 122 is guided along the guide groove 101 at an adjacent rear position of the first guide rail 121, and the first guide rail 121 is separated from the guide groove 101 in the forward direction. In this case, only the second guide rail 122 is supported by the guide groove 101.

In this case, the second guide rail 122 is provided at the center thereof with a rotation shaft 123 capable of relative rotation with respect to the second guide rail 122.

Accordingly, when the storage container 120 is supported only by the second guide rail 122, the storage container 120 can be rotated downward by its own weight.

In addition, an elastic member 124 such as a torsion spring is installed around the rotation shaft 123 so that the storage container 120 may return to an initial position after rotation while maintaining the parallel state.

Accordingly, after the first guide rail 121 of the storage container 120 is separated from the guide groove 101 in the forward direction, only the second guide rail 122 is supported by the guide groove 101 to store the user. When the tip of the container 120 is rotated downward, the storage container 120 is rotated about the rotation shaft 123 of the second guide rail 122.

As such, the elastic force of the elastic member 124 is overcome and the tip of the storage container 120 is rotated downward to visually check the type of the storage material in the storage container 120.

At this time, in terms of safety, it is preferable that a stopper (not shown) is provided at the tip of the second guide rail 122 so that the storage container 120 is not completely separated from the refrigerator main body 100.

Hereinafter, the operation of the refrigerator provided with a pull-out door according to the present invention will be described.

2 to 4 are views showing an operating state of the drawer type door according to the present invention. First, in order for the user to visually check the contents stored in the storage container 120, the storage container 120 is a refrigerator. It is taken out from the main body 100.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the first guide rail 121 and the second guide rail 122 of the door 110 are drawn out in parallel along the horizontal groove 101a and completely opened, the user may store the same. The tip of the container 120 is pulled downward.

As shown in FIG. 4, the storage container 120 is rotatable about the rotation shaft 123 of the second guide rail 122 located at both sides thereof.

Next, the user can visually check the storage stored in the storage container 120 and take it out easily.

Subsequently, when the user releases the pulling force on the storage container 120, the storage container 120 is restored to a horizontal state by the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 124.

Here, the elastic member 124 is limited to the torsion spring, but is not necessarily limited thereto, any configuration may be adopted as long as the storage container 120 can be elastically rotated smoothly without impact due to sudden operation. .

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