Refrigerator

Abstract

The utility model relates to a refrigerator, which enables storage to be easily entered and exited through the door of the refrigerator compartment, can reduce the outflow of cold air and heat leakage in the refrigerator chamber, facilitates the generalization of refrigerator doors with opposite opening and closing directions on the left and right, and simultaneously improves the accommodation performance of the groove. In a refrigerator having a multi-stage storage compartment with the uppermost section as the refrigerator compartment 5, the refrigerator compartment door 10 has a main door 40 that opens and closes the entire refrigerator compartment 5, and an auxiliary opening 45 that is symmetrically disposed at the center of the lower part of the main door 40. The main door 40 has main door grooves formed on the left and right sides of the auxiliary opening 45 for placing storage items, and the auxiliary door 60 is supported so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular to a refrigerator in which the door for opening and closing the refrigerator compartment in the uppermost section consists of a main door and an auxiliary door. Background technique [0002] In the past, as this type of refrigerator, as shown in JP-A-10-9757 (Prior Art 1), a refrigerator main body with a multi-stage storage room with the uppermost section as a refrigerator room was equipped, and the refrigerator body was arranged to be opened and closed. In the refrigerator with the front door of the storage room, the door of the refrigerating room has a main door that opens and closes the entire front of the refrigerating room and an auxiliary door that switches an auxiliary opening provided on the main door. The supporting device for supporting the side end in order to open and close the refrigerator compartment, and the opening for fully opening the lower half of the main door. The supp...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in prior art 1, in order to form the auxiliary door of the large auxiliary opening that opens and closes the opening in the entire lower half of the main door, the flow out from the large auxiliary door opening is not considered when the auxiliary door is opened and closed. The amount of cold air in the refrigerator

Also, as the auxiliary door increases, the auxiliary opening sealing portion of the main door and the auxiliary door becomes longer, and heat leakage or energy loss through the auxiliary opening sealing portion is not considered.

Furthermore, since there is no main door groove portion in the lower part of the main door, only the auxiliary door groove portion is used to form the groove portion of the lower half of the refrigerator compartment, and the accommodation of the groove portion is greatly restricted. Not on ease of use

[0006] Moreover, in the prior art 2, since the auxiliary door having the upper and lower three-stage grooves opening and closing the elongated longitudinal auxiliary opening portion opened in the entire upper and lower portions is formed on the right side of the main door, the upper section of the auxiliary door The loading and unloading operation of the storage in the tank is at a high position, and the auxiliary door may not be convenient to use, nor is it very good

And, in the case of manufacturing a refrigerator in which the opening and closing direction of the refrigerator compartment door is left and right reversed, the position of the auxiliary door and the position of the side groove portion are left and right reversed, and at the same time, the installation of the handle portion of the main door will interfere with the auxiliary door. Obstacles, there is a problem that the main door is opposite to the left and right, and it is difficult to share

[0007] Furthermore, in Conventional Techniques 1 and 2, the storage capacity is increased by the front-rear arrangement of the main door groove and the auxiliary door groove, the generalization of the auxiliary door groove is further reduced, and the heat leakage in the auxiliary door gasket is further reduced. It cannot be said that sufficient consideration or indication has been given to improve the appearance design of the installation of the auxiliary door, and the cooling method or alarm method accompanying the opening and closing of the auxiliary door.
