Description

Refrigerator {REFRIGERATOR}

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator for refrigerating and freezing food by using a heat exchange action of a refrigerant by a refrigeration cycle.

As the refrigerator repeats a refrigeration cycle in which the refrigerant is compressed, condensed, expanded, and evaporated, the refrigerator cools the inside of the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment to keep the food stored in the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment fresh.

Refrigerator doors are coupled to the open front surfaces of the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment, and a plurality of door pockets for storing food are arranged in an up and down direction on an inner wall of the refrigerator door.

Conventionally, in order to utilize the upper space of the pocket which is an unused void space, the foaming shape was formed inside the door, and the other hook type pocket was produced and it used to hang on the forming shape.

By the way, when the inner forming shape is not properly formed, there is a problem that the insertion of the hook-type pocket is poor, or the hook-type pocket does not move smoothly in the left and right directions of the forming part.

In addition, the rigidity of the forming portion is weak, there is also a risk that the hanger pocket is dropped when a relatively heavy object is stored in the hanger pocket.

First, in adding reference numerals to constituent elements of each drawing, it should be noted that the same constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals even though they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

(Example)

1 is a perspective view illustrating an inner wall of a door of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of pockets 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d are spaced apart in the vertical direction on an inner wall of the refrigerator door 10 that opens and closes a refrigerator main body (not shown). The plurality of pockets 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d can accommodate relatively small foods, in particular cans or bottle shaped containers filled with beverages.

The support bar assembly 100 is coupled to the upper portion of the pocket 12a positioned at the top of the plurality of pockets 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d, and the hanger pocket 200 is mounted on the support bar assembly 100. . Hanging pocket 200 includes a pocket portion 210 for receiving the article and a hook portion 220 provided in one end of the pocket portion 210 in the horizontal direction. The hook portion 220 of the hooked pocket 200 may be spread over the support bar assembly 100 and linearly moved in the horizontal direction by the support bar assembly 100.

2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the support bar and the fixture, and FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a coupling process of the fastening piece.

2 to 4, the groove part 14 is formed to be elongated in the horizontal direction on the pocket 12a of the inner wall of the refrigerator door 10, and the support bar assembly 100 is coupled to the groove part 14.

The support bar assembly 100 includes a support bar 120, fasteners 140a and 140b, and a fastening piece 160. The support bar 120 extends in the horizontal direction and is accommodated in the groove 14 of the inner wall of the refrigerator door 10. Inside the support bar 120, first and second insertion holes 122 and 124 are formed long in the longitudinal direction thereof. The first insertion hole 122 is formed in the upper portion of the support bar 120 along the longitudinal direction of the support bar 120, and the second insertion hole 124 is formed on the inner lower portion of the support bar 120, that is, the first insertion hole 122. 1 is formed long in the longitudinal direction of the support bar 120 below the insertion hole (122).

Fixtures 140a and 140b connect both ends of support bar 120 to the bottom surface of groove 14, respectively. Each of the fasteners 140a and 140b includes a body 142 and first to third protrusions 144, 146 and 148. The first protrusion 144 has a cross section corresponding to the first insertion hole 122, protrudes from an upper end portion of one side of the body 142, and is inserted into the first insertion hole 122 of the support bar 120. . The second protrusion 146 has a cross section corresponding to the second insertion hole 124, protrudes from the lower side of the one side of the body 142, that is, the first protrusion 144, and the support bar 120. Is inserted into the second insertion hole 124. The third protrusion 148 protrudes from the support bar 120 to the other side of the body 142 in the direction toward the groove 140 and is inserted into the third insertion hole 15 formed in the bottom surface of the groove 14. do.

The fastening piece 160 is coupled to the neck 149 of the third protrusion 148 inserted into the third insertion hole 15 to fix the third protrusion 148 to the bottom surface of the groove 14. For example, the fastening piece 160 may have a first support plate 162 and a second support plate 164, and the first and second support plates 162 and 164 may have a cramped shape. The first support plate 162 of the fastening piece 160 is supported on the side wall of the groove portion 14, and the second support plate 164 of the fastening piece 160 is supported on the rear surface of the bottom surface of the groove portion 14. In the second support plate 164, the coupling groove 165 is formed long so that the neck 149 of the third protrusion 148 is inserted when the fastening piece 160 is engaged.

By the above-described configuration, the support bar 120 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the groove portion 14 by a predetermined interval, and the hook portion 220 of the hook-type pocket 200 has the support bar 120 and the groove portion ( 14) is inserted into the space between. In this state, the hook pocket 200 may be linearly moved in the longitudinal direction of the support bar 120 by the user.
