Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator has a refrigerating compartment and a vegetable compartment that are convenient with respect to their spaces and positional heights, has an ice making compartment of a relatively small capacity, the ice making compartment being placed at an appropriate height to enhance use convenience, has a spacious and large freezing compartment to increase storage volume efficiency, has an aesthetically enhanced appearance with neat design providing users with an impression that the refrigerator is large and spacious, and has great strength. The refrigerator has the refrigerating compartment (6) at the uppermost part of a heat-insulated box body, the vegetable compartment (11) at the lower part of the inside of the refrigeration compartment, a cooling storage compartment (19) and the ice-making compartment (18) that are arranged next to each other while being partitioned by a vertical partition plate and are placed below the refrigeration chamber with a heat insulation partition wall (5) in between, and a drawer door type freezing compartment (22) that is located at the lowermost part of the body so as to be adjacent to both the cooling storage compartment and the ice-making compartment and extends along the entire width of the body. Thus, the inside of the body is divided into four sections.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a refrigerating compartment on an upper part of the refrigerator and a freezing compartment on a lower part, and having a vegetable container in the refrigerating compartment. Background technique [0002] Large volume capacity household refrigerators, having many doors for various storage compartments, are sold to meet various user needs. Such refrigerators are commercialized using various compartment arrangements such as: a top freezer arrangement in which the freezer is placed above the refrigerated compartment; a middle freezer arrangement in which the freezer is placed on top of the refrigerated compartment and between the vegetable compartments on the bottom; a bottom freezer arrangement in which the freezer is placed at the lowermost position; a lower arrangement in which the refrigerator compartment and the vegetable compartment are vertically long and placed side by side on the top the bo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The arrangement of the bottom freezer compartment shown in JP1993(H05)-157429A has the following problems: the refrigerating compartment and the vegetable compartment, which have a large volume, are disposed on the top, so that the ice making compartment and the temperature switchable compartment are disposed at lower heights; therefore Difficulty pulling out the compartment of the drawer structure and accessing its contents; the top edge of the vegetable compartment door is below the user's waist or belt height, giving the observer the impression that the refrigerator appears to be low and small , thus detracting from the decorative appearance of the refrigerator

[0009] The device shown in JP2003-185334A has the following disadvantages: the height dimension of the refrigerated compartment is limited, so that storage racks for storing tall bottles such as PET bottles are difficult to form more than two tiers

Therefore, storing the bottles in the vegetable compartment has the disadvantage that the bottles have to be lifted a large vertical distance when pulling them out
