Description

Refrigerator {Refrigerator}

The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a handle capable of simultaneously opening and closing a main door and an auxiliary door.

[Prior Art 1] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0077564

1, the conventional refrigerator includes a storage room 20 and 30, doors 40 and 50 having openings 41 and 51 formed therein for opening and closing the storage rooms 20 and 30, And an auxiliary door (60) installed on the door (40, 50) for opening and closing the opening (41, 51).

The storage compartments 20 and 30 include a refrigerating compartment 30 and a freezing compartment 20. The refrigerating compartment 30 and the freezing compartment 20 are separated by an intermediate partition 11.

The doors 40 and 50 include a freezing compartment door 40 for opening and closing the freezing compartment 30 and a refrigerating compartment door 50 for opening and closing the refrigerating compartment 20.

The openings 41 and 51 formed in the doors 40 and 50 are formed in the freezing chamber door 40 and have an opening 41 having a width equal to the width of the freezing chamber 30, And an opening 51 having the same width as the width of the refrigerating chamber 20.

The auxiliary door 60 includes a freezer compartment auxiliary door 60 for opening and closing the opening 41 and a refrigerator compartment auxiliary door 60 for opening and closing the opening 51.

When the main door is opened, the conventional refrigerator has to pull the upper or lower part of the handle of the auxiliary door to inconvenience the user. When the auxiliary door is opened or the auxiliary door is to be opened when the main door is to be opened, There is a problem that there is a cold loss of the refrigerator and the freezer due to the freezing of the refrigerant.

[Prior Art 2] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0011400
