2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for large-capacity refrigerators for household refrigerators as the storage capacity thereof has increased. In addition, due to the sophistication of houses, the diversification of housing equipment and furniture, and the orientation toward living comfortably, so-called electric appliances such as refrigerators are not only required to have simple functions, but also as a part of furniture or as an ornament. Recently, the demand for added value has grown louder.

Further, the variety of foods stored in the refrigerator has become more diverse as the tastes have become more diverse, and the appearance packaging has become colorful and beautiful so as to further arouse the appetite. In addition, the food itself is packaged to look fresher and more beautiful with color-rendering lighting as seen in modern kitchen or dining room lighting. On the other hand, in a conventional refrigerator, an incandescent light bulb for illuminating a hand such as a sewing machine to illuminate the inside of the refrigerator is part of the inside of the refrigerator, or the front part of the refrigerator divides the two rooms, a part of the partition, etc. However, it is common that some of the compartments, such as the vegetable compartment, are not equipped with lighting.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional refrigerator, there is a problem that it is difficult to confirm the inside because a dedicated lighting lamp is not installed in the vegetable compartment or the like. In particular, if the room is a vegetable room, a separate container that is dedicated to the freshness of the vegetable room is required to preserve the freshness, and in order to illuminate the inside of this container, vegetables such as conventional refrigerators are used. It is extremely inefficient to install a light in the back of the room, and to install it on the ceiling of the vegetable room, there is a space problem and it is not possible to use the internal volume effectively. When an illumination lamp is attached to a part of the compartment that divides the two rooms in the front part of the refrigerator, the door impact vibration that occurs when the vegetable container is stored is directly transmitted to the illumination lamp through the compartment, so that the filament lamp is cut off and the lighting There was a problem such as shortened life.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems by efficiently illuminating a partitioned room such as a vegetable room and protecting the illuminating lamp from a door impact generated when the vegetable container is stored. It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator in which the vegetable compartment can be kept illuminated and the interior can be kept clean and the food can be seen more beautifully as it is.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an opening door, particularly at the front part of a partition wall which divides a room having a drawer door and a room having an opening door above it. An invalid shelving unit that can be used as a partition between the left and right door shelves is used, and an illumination lamp is provided on the partition wall facing the invalid shelving unit. The lower surface of the chamber having the partition wall and the partition body connected to the front surface of the lower plate are provided on the lower surface of the chamber, and illumination is provided in the vicinity of the lower surface of the connecting portion via the lower plate and the partition body. A support for holding the lamp is provided.

[0007]

According to the present invention, therefore, a food product which can be used as a partition of a partition wall for partitioning a room having a drawer door and a room having an opening door above the door, in particular, left and right door shelves constituting the opening door By using ineffective shelves that cannot be stored and installing lighting on the lower surface of the facing partition wall, the necessary heat dissipation space around the lighting can be stored in the ineffective shelves, and effective use of space is ensured. Become.

Further, the illuminating lamp is installed in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the lower plate of the upper chamber constituting the partition wall and the partition body connected to the front surface thereof, and the support body is provided with a space between the lower plate and the partition body. By holding the illuminating lamp with this independent support body, when the drawer door is stored, the impact force received by the door body against the partition body and the bottom plate connected to the partition body is transmitted to the illuminating light body. Therefore, it is possible to solve the conventional problem that the filament in the illuminating lamp is stretched by the impact and shorts out.
