Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator with a pull-out door.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, it has been proposed to divide refrigerators into compartments to accommodate the items stored therein.

As such a room, for example, Utility Model Publication No. 61-22233
As shown in the publication, the upper door is in the vertical direction.

The structure was such that an inner door and a pull-out door were arranged, and a frame was provided that extended from the pull-out door to the inside of the refrigerator to place a container with an open top surface.

A pull-out door equipped with such a container was used to store vegetables and fruits, and the user had to bend down to put in and take out the container from above.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, although the container is the same size as the width of a refrigerator, if you want to store bottles, cans, or other small items, you can only arrange them in rows and cannot store them vertically. Since you always have to bend over to take out heavy bottles and cans, it is difficult to store food that you will eat directly (vegetables and fruits) and cans or bottles in the same place.
This gave the user a sense of unsanitary hygiene.

In addition, bottles and cans were generally stored in pockets formed in the door bank located on the inner side of the inner door. However, the upper and lower ends of the right side of the inner door, etc. were supported by a bottle, and the bottle could be used as an axis to open and close the door, but heavy objects such as bottles and cans were added to the door, causing the door to tilt downward and become attached to the main body. The sealing performance between the inner door and the gasket may deteriorate, resulting in a decrease in cooling capacity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator having a vertically long pull-out door for storing bottles and cans on the top and bottom.

Means for Solving the Problems A refrigerator having a pull-out door according to the present invention includes a storage chamber formed vertically, a fixed rail provided on opposite side walls of the storage chamber, and a refrigerator supported by the fixed rail. A pull-out door equipped with a movable rail, support pieces provided above and below that support a tray for receiving articles extending from the pull-out door toward the storage room, and a lower support piece on the back side of the support piece. a back plate with an upper end positioned above the support piece υ above the storage chamber; a cold air discharge control that opens above the back plate at the back of the storage chamber and brings one cool air into contact with the back plate; and the back plate. and a cold air passage extending vertically to the back of the storage room and reaching the bottom of the lower saucer, an opening formed in the back plate between the upper and lower saucers, and a curved or It has a configuration in which 94 protrusions are provided on the back surface of the storage chamber to guide the storage at an angle.

Effects of the present invention With the above-described configuration, items such as bottles, cans, and small items can be stored in each tray, and a portion of the cold air from the cold air outlet hits the back plate, creating a cold air path extending vertically. It is guided downward into the storage chamber along this line, and is also guided to the upper surface of the saucer below the opening. Further, other cold air is guided to the upper surface of the upper tray and is reliably cooled. Furthermore, since the back plate is located above the back surface of the upper and lower saucers, if you pull out the door and place the bottle on the back surface of the saucer to store it, then suddenly pull out the door and place the bottle in the saucer. A sudden acceleration is applied to the bottom of the bottle, causing the bottle to try to topple over, but it hits the back plate and does not fall backwards.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator body, which is composed of an outer box 2, an inner box 3, and a foamed heat insulating material 4 filled between the two boxes. The refrigerator consists of five storage compartments (other than the vertically elongated storage compartment 6 of the present invention are not shown), with a partial compartment door θ at the upper left and a freezer compartment door 7 from the upper right downward. Refrigerator door 8. A vegetable compartment door 9 is disposed, and a vertically elongated pull-out door 10 is disposed astride the refrigerator compartment s8 and the vegetable compartment door 9. This pull-out door 1o is provided for opening and closing the vertically long storage chamber 5.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a cooling chamber formed within the upper wall 12 of the vertically elongated storage chamber 6, in which coolers 1 and 3 and a blower 14 are provided. The vertically elongated door 10 is attached with a movable rail 17 with rollers 16 inserted into a fixed rail 15 extending in the depth direction below the opposing side walls sa and 5b of the storage room 6 and having a substantially U-shaped cross section. It is being Reference numeral 18 denotes a receiving tray for placing the bottle 19, which has a flange 2o around its periphery, and supports the seven lunges 20 by placing them on a support piece 21 extending from the door 1o to the back of the storage room 5. This support piece 21 is attached to the upper and lower sides of the door 10, but the lower part is also used as the movable rail 17.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a back plate which supports the support piece 21. It is attached in the vertical direction to the inner surface of the movable rail 17 (hereinafter, when referring to the support piece 21, it will be treated as the non-special hook support piece 21). The upper end of this back plate 22 is configured so as not to extend over the top surface 5ci of the storage chamber 6.

23 is a cold air discharge port, which communicates with the cooling chamber 11, and
It is located above the back surface 6d of the storage room 6.

A part of the cold air discharged from the discharge port 23 is brought into contact with the upper part of the back plate 22 by a cold air discharge control 23a, and the other part is caused to flow linearly. Further, a cold air intake port 24 into the cooling chamber 11 is formed in the top surface 5c of the storage chamber 5. Reference numeral 25 denotes a cold air air path which extends from the cold air discharge control 23a to the bottom of the lower saucer 18, and is located in a space formed by bending the end surface of the back plate 22 and connecting it to the back surface 5d of the storage chamber 6. It is something that is formed. Reference numeral 26 denotes an opening formed in the back plate 22 between the upper tray 18 and the lower tray 18, and 26a denotes the inner part which guides the cold air passage 25 to the opening 26 with a curved surface or slope. A cold air passage 25 is formed by a protrusion integrally provided on the surface 5d.
Cold air flows from. Incidentally, it is preferable that the saucer 18 be provided with a large number of small holes to prevent convection of cold air.

Therefore, since items such as bottles and cans are stored in each tray 18, they can be placed and stored in the upper part, allowing the user to take out the items without bending over, and it is also hygienic as there is no need to put them in together with vegetables. . Moreover, since heavy objects such as bottles and cans can be supported by the rails 15 and 17, the sealing performance will not deteriorate when the door is below the weight K.

Furthermore, the cold air can flow smoothly through the opening 26 due to the protrusion 26a.
Since it is also introduced between the upper and lower trays 18, there is no chance of any unevenness in the upper and lower trays 18. Furthermore, when I suddenly opened it to store and take out the 719 in the saucer 18,
Although the pin 19 tries to fall backward, it hits the back plate 22 and is prevented from falling, so that there is no possibility that something will fall to the bottom of the storage chamber 5 and the drawer 10 will not be able to be stored.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the embodiments described above, the refrigerator with a drawer-type drawer according to the present invention can separate the stored items by providing vertical storage chambers with trays arranged above and below. This makes it possible to separate and keep things sanitary, and it also makes it possible to take out heavy items without having to bend over. In addition, the cold air is guided upward and downward into the storage chamber, and is evenly introduced between the upper and lower trays through the opening, so that uniform cooling can be achieved. In addition, since the back plate prevents items from falling, the drawer type cabinet can be opened and closed smoothly without falling items hitting and interfering with opening and closing.
