Description

Shelf assembly for refrigerators {SHELF ASSEMBLY FOR REFRIGERATOR}

The present invention relates to a shelf assembly for a refrigerator. More particularly, the present invention relates to a shelf assembly for refrigerators, which can more effectively control cold air leakage due to opening of a refrigerator door.

Generally, a refrigerator is a device that keeps the food in a fresh state for a predetermined period by reducing the temperature of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber as the refrigerant repeats a refrigerating cycle in which the refrigerant compresses - condenses - expands - evaporates.

The refrigerator includes a refrigerator body having a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment so that food can be stored in a low temperature state, and a refrigerator door that rotatably rotates the front surface of the refrigerator body.

In addition, the refrigerator main body is provided with a plurality of shelves for refrigerating or freezing the storage items by type.

In such a conventional refrigerator, when a user opens a door of a refrigerating compartment or a freezing compartment, cold air escapes to the outside of the refrigerator to quickly increase a temperature inside the refrigerator. Therefore, frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door has a problem that a large power loss of the refrigerator occurs.

Recently, Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-0089558 (hereinafter referred to as "prior art") has been disclosed as an example of a solution for solving the above problems.

Hereinafter, a refrigerator cold air assist system according to the prior art will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

As shown in the drawing, a refrigerator cold air assist system according to the related art includes a plurality of shelves 10 supporting a storage, and a blocking plate 20 installed at the front of the shelves 10 to prevent cold air from leaking out. ) Is a configuration that includes.

That is, the blocking plate 20 is installed in a state standing up with respect to the front of the shelf 10 is configured to control the cold air in the refrigerator to escape to the outside.

In addition, the blocking plate 20 has a structure in which slide storage is possible with respect to the front surface of the shelf 10.

However, in order to install the blocking plate 20 according to the related art in a standing direction in a state in which it is stored in the shelf 10, first, pull out the blocking plate 20 stored in the shelf 10 and then upright. There was an inconvenience of having to take a double action of spinning.

In addition, according to the prior art, in order to withdraw or store the storage must be accommodated or taken out of food in the state in which the barrier plate 20 is pushed toward the shelf 10, the barrier plate 20 There was a problem that the stagnant cold air is easily leaked to the outside.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 attached hereto.

The refrigerator applied to the present invention includes a refrigerator main body (100) partitioned into a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment, a refrigerator door (200) for intermittently opening and closing the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator main body (100), and the refrigerator main body (100). Shelf assembly 300 is installed in the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment.

Specifically, the shelf assembly 300 for the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed in the freezing compartment or the refrigerating compartment, and is formed on both sides of the shelf plate 310 and the shelf plate 310 for supporting the storage article. Coupling plate 320 is a slide coupling to the inner wall surface of the refrigerator main body 100, and installed in a direction perpendicular to the shelf plate 310, the front, rear direction along the longitudinal direction of the coupling plate 320 It is configured to include a shield plate 330 capable of sliding movement.

First, the shelf plate 310 is a rectangular plate material produced by injection molding, and serves to support the stored article on the top surface.

The shelf plate 310 is provided in plurality at a predetermined interval with respect to the freezer compartment or the refrigerating compartment.

In addition, both sides of the shelf plate 310 is formed with a coupling plate 320 is a slide coupling to the inner wall surface of the refrigerator main body 100.

That is, the coupling plate 320 is coupled to a bead (not shown) formed in the freezer compartment or the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator main body 100 to stably fix the shelf plate 310 and to fix the shelf plate 310 to the refrigerator main body. It serves to guide the retrievable from the (100).

On the other hand, the shielding plate 330 is installed in a direction perpendicular to the front end of the shelf plate 310, to suppress the cold air in the refrigerator main body 100 is not easily escaped to the outside when the refrigerator door 200 is opened. Play a role.

The shielding plate 330 according to the present invention is configured to slide in the front, rear direction along the longitudinal direction of the coupling plate 320.

To this end, coupling protrusions 331 coupled to the coupling plate 320 are formed at both ends of the shielding plate 330, and the coupling protrusion 331 slides forward and backward in the coupling plate 320. Guide holes 321 are formed to enable hinge rotation in the vertical direction.

That is, the shielding plate 330 constitutes a guide hole 321 that allows the shielding plate 330 to move in the front-rear direction or to rotate in the vertical direction, thereby storing the storage item to be stored for a long time and the storage item to be repeatedly drawn out. Can be arranged in the forward and backward direction based on the not only can improve the efficiency of cold air transfer to the storage items to be stored for a long time, but also can quickly rotate in the direction of the force to push or pull the shield plate 330 There is an advantage that can effectively control the spill.

In addition, a position fixing groove 321a may be additionally formed at the lower edge of the guide hole 321 to regulate the movement position in the front and rear directions of the shielding plate 330.

The position fixing groove 321a serves to stably fix the shielding plate 330 without flowing in the front-rear direction at a specific position.

And, Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the shield plate 330, the secondary coupling plate 340 is further formed in the center of the width of the shelf plate 310 based on the secondary coupling plate 340 the shielding The plate 330 may be manufactured in two configurations respectively provided at one side and the other side.

As described above, according to the present invention, the shield plate 330 is installed in a direction perpendicular to the shelf plate 310 and slides forward and backward along the longitudinal direction of the coupling plate 320, thereby providing a long time. The storage items to be stored and the storage items with repeated withdrawal can be divided and partitioned to improve the cold air transfer efficiency for the storage items to be stored for a long time, and also to quickly rotate in the direction of pushing or pulling the shield plate 330. It can be effective to control the cold air leakage effectively.
