Refrigerator

Abstract

Provided is a refrigerator in which a sliding shelf is arranged below a storage box so that the storage box can be fully drawn out and, when retracting the storage box into a storage chamber, the storage box can be easily retracted while reducing the generation of noise. The refrigerator comprises a storage box which is received within a storage chamber and which is slidably retracted or drawn out; a sliding shelf for guiding the storage box to be retracted or drawn out, the sliding shelf being coupled to the lower part of the storage box; and a connection unit for coupling the sliding shelf, the connection unit being provided on both side walls of the storage chamber, wherein the sliding shelf comprises: a sliding unit coupled to the lower part of the storage box; a cover rail for guiding the storage box to be slidably retracted and drawn out, the cover rail being coupled to the connection unit; a slide rail provided in the sliding unit to slidably move along the cover rail; and a self-closing device which accumulates elastic power when the storage box is drawn out and transmits the elastic power toward the retraction direction of the storage box when the storage box is retracted, the self-closing device being coupled to the sliding unit and being provided with an oil damper for absorbing shock caused by the elastic power when the storage box is retracted.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a storage unit that is inserted and drawn out by sliding a shelf. Background technique [0002] Generally, a refrigerator includes a storage compartment and a cool air supply device for supplying cool air to the storage compartment to keep food fresh. [0003] The interior of the storage compartment maintains the temperature required to store the food in a fresh state, each of which is within a specified range. [0004] The front surface of such a storage chamber of the refrigerator is opened, and the opened front surface is closed by a door to maintain the temperature inside the storage chamber at normal times. [0005] The storage chamber is divided into a plurality of chambers by a partition, and among the plurality of storage chambers, a storage chamber provided on an upper side is opened and closed by two doors that are rotatably hinged, and another storage chamber provided on a lower side is...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Since such a configuration in which the rail structure of the sliding unit is provided at the side surface of the storage box is operated by installing rollers at the side surface of the storage box, the distance that the storage box is pulled out is shortened, making it difficult to take out the inside of the storage box. food

[0008] In addition, when the storage box is inserted into the inside of the storage chamber, the user needs to push the storage box until the end is inserted into the storage box sufficiently, and noise is caused when the storage box is inserted
