Description

{DOOR OF STAND TYPE KIMCHI REFRIGERATOR}

The present invention relates to an improved door opening / closing door capable of selectively or simultaneously opening and closing two door openings vertically arranged by a user holding a corresponding handle in response to a home bar in a four-room stand type Kimchi refrigerator.

Kimchi refrigerator was developed to store fermented kimchi in a fresh state for a long time, and fermentation science was added, and freshly dipped kimchi was matured to be able to produce the best flavor according to the type of kimchi. It is developed to have the ability to maintain.

The Kimchi refrigerator is also a type of refrigerator and basically uses the principle of a refrigeration cycle consisting of compression-condensation-expansion-evaporation of refrigerant. The inside of the body is composed of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator and a cooling fan for cooling the condenser A cooling device is provided.

On the other hand, a refrigerator equipped with a home bar is provided with a freezer compartment for directly receiving cooling air by an evaporator and a fan to freeze and store the load, and a control box for receiving and controlling the cooler through the cooler air hole formed in the partition wall of the freezer compartment And a refrigerator compartment for refrigerating the refrigerator compartment, and a home bar provided with a separate storage space at one side of the door of the refrigerator compartment.

BACKGROUND ART [0002] As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 10-2006-109766 and 10-2006-125086, a conventional kimchi refrigerator has an inner case formed inside an outer case forming an outer shape, and an inner case formed between the outer case and the inner case A filling material for heat insulation is built in. And an upper turnable door hinged to the outer case so as to open and close the opened upper portion of the inner case.

 A compressor, a condenser, a cooling fan, and the like are installed in a lower portion of the inner case, that is, a lower space of the lower portion of the outer case, and an evaporator pipe connected to the compressor and the condenser is wound around the inner case, As the refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator pipe, it absorbs the ambient heat, and the inner case is cooled, and it is maintained at a constant set temperature, so that the kimchi stored in the inner case is not deteriorated and the freshness can be maintained.

The heat transfer coil for aging the kimchi is also wound on the outer circumference of the inner case. Usually, the evaporator pipe is installed in the upper region of the inner case, and the coil constituting the heat transfer heater is installed in the lower region of the inner case. As described above, the upward-turning type door-type kimchi refrigerator takes out the kimchi container located in the inner case, that is, the lower portion of the storage compartment. Due to the weight of the kimchi container, the back and forth storage rooms are reduced upward, A hybrid type kimchi refrigerator with a storage room that can be opened and closed by a drawer was developed.

As the lifestyle changes, a large amount of foodstuffs are purchased at once and stored in the house and consumed. As a result, a larger capacity Kimchi refrigerator is being developed to store the food. It is convenient and easy to use, and a stand-type kimchi refrigerator has been developed to meet various consumer needs in the kitchen interior.

1, a storage compartment is divided into an upper compartment 1, an intermediate compartment 2, and a lower compartment 3, and a lower compartment 3, The intermediate compartment 2 and the lower compartment 3 are provided with drawer type storage boxes 5 and 6 so that they can be pulled or pushed open and closed.

Therefore, in the intermediate compartment 2 and the lower compartment 3, a heavy, large-capacity kimchi container 7 is stored for a long period of time, and the lower compartment 1 provided with a plurality of shelves 8 has a small capacity The kimchi container 9 of the present invention is stored.

In the case of a home having a small consumption of kimchi, the middle compartment 2 and the lower compartment 3 are not used for storing kimchi, but various foods such as vegetables, fruits, meats and cereals are stored as needed. The drawer type storage boxes 5 and 6 of the intermediate compartment 2 and the lower compartment 3 have a sufficient height to accommodate the large-capacity kimchi containers 7 so that even after storing various foods, In this case, there is a lot of empty space on the upper side, and the space utilization of the storage room is lowered.

In addition, in the drawer type storage boxes 5 and 6, it is necessary to store only the foods in a stacked state. In order to take out food stored in the upper or lower part of the food by mutual contact, the upper food had to be taken out first.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a four-room stand type Kimchi refrigerator having a door that can be opened and closed by a door on the upper side, It is an object of the present invention to provide a door opening of an improved stand-type Kimchi refrigerator capable of selectively or simultaneously opening and closing a door.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that the storage compartment is divided into a first upper compartment, a second upper compartment, a first lower compartment and a second lower compartment, and the first and second upper compartments are provided with a hinged- The first and second lower casings are provided with a drawer type storage box (15, 16), and are configured to be pulled or pushed to open and close. The four-room stand type In the Kimchi refrigerator,

A lever 20 is mounted on a rear end of the second upper bin handle 14 so as to be held together with the handle 14 and a locking portion 24 is connected to the lever 20 through a link member, The locking portion 24 is resiliently supported by the elastic member 23 so that it is normally fitted to both sides of the first upper housing and the second upper housing. When the lever 20 is pulled, the elastic member 23 is compressed, And to be moved from the compartment to the second upper compartment.

The link member is made of a wire and a direction switching shaft 21 for switching the transmission direction of the force so that the locking portion 24 is moved up and down by the pulling force of the lever 20 is provided in the middle of the wire .

As described above, according to the present invention, there is an effect that the upper and lower door openings can be opened individually or simultaneously by pulling the upper and lower handles by the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a door of a stand-type Kimchi refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a door of a stand-type Kimchi refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. The door is an improved door so that the upper and lower door mechanisms 12 and 13 can be selectively opened and closed.

A four-room stand type Kimchi refrigerator of the present invention is a four-room type body (10) having a storage compartment divided into a first upper compartment, a second upper compartment, a first lower compartment and a second lower compartment, The first and second lower casings are provided with drawer type storage boxes 15 and 16 so as to be capable of being pulled or pushed to open and close, .

Here, the first and second lower casings are provided with a large-capacity kimchi container for a long period of time, and a small-capacity kimchi container is often stored in the first and second upper casings provided with a plurality of shelves for easy retrieval . In some cases, assuming that the consumption of kimchi is small, the first and second lower compartments are not used for storing kimchi, and various foods such as vegetables, fruits, meats and cereals are stored as needed. The drawer type storage boxes 15 and 16 of the first and second lower casings have a height sufficient to accommodate a large-capacity kimchi container.

The first upper housing handle 11 is not equipped with a lever and the second upper housing handle 14 is equipped with a separate lever so that the handle can be opened or the lever can be held by opening.
