  The front opening of each storage room is provided with a heat insulating door filled with foam heat insulating material such as urethane, for example, and the refrigerating room 53 has a left door 60a that divides the front opening of the heat insulating box 52 to the left and right, right The door 60b is provided in the ice making chamber 54, the switching chamber 55, the vegetable chamber 56, and the freezing chamber 57 with drawer-type doors 61, 62, 63, 64, respectively. The left door 60a and the right door 60b described above may be configured as a double door opening method in which both are opened from the center side to the outside depending on the storage form of the storage room, or one of them is a drawer type door.

  The heat insulating box 52 has a heat insulating wall formed by injecting a foam heat insulating material 72 into a space formed by an inner box 70 obtained by vacuum molding a resin body such as ABS and an outer box 71 using a metal material such as a pre-coated steel plate. I have.

  A cooler and a fan (not shown) are provided behind the vegetable compartment 56 and the freezing compartment 57, respectively, and the cooler cooled by the cooler is sent to each storage compartment by driving a compressor installed at the lower part of the main body. Is controlled to be cooled to a predetermined temperature.

  The refrigerating room 53 has a plurality of storage shelves 80 for organizing and storing foods and the like, and forms storage spaces for storage items in a plurality of stages, each of which has a heat insulating box at its front opening. A left door 60a and a right door 60b pivotally supported by hinges 81 on the upper and lower ends of the left and right ends of the body 52 are rotatably installed and closed by a double door system. Further, at the bottom of the storage space, a small case 83 for storing a chilled case 82 and an egg for improving the freshness of meat fish and the like is arranged.

  A cool air duct 84 for blowing cool air cooled by the cooler into the storage chamber is provided behind the refrigerating chamber 53. In general, the cold air duct 84 is configured by substantially the entire back surface of the heat insulating box 52, and an unillustrated discharge hole is provided between each of the internal shelves 80 as necessary to cool the air in the respective storage spaces. Can also be used for positioning means and fixing means for the plurality of cabinet shelves 80.

  Further, a lighting device 87 is provided in a space in which the left and right sides of the front position of the inner box 70 constituting the wall of the refrigerator compartment 53 are recessed, and the space is covered with a cover (not shown), and stored from the front. It is installed to illuminate the room. The lighting device 87 may be provided with the back surface of the storage chamber on the cold air duct 84 or the ceiling, or a plurality of lighting devices 87 may be installed.

  A gasket 85 is attached to the inner edges of the double door left door 60a and the right door 60b to prevent the cool air in the storage chamber from flowing out to the outside, and between the two doors located at the center of the front opening of the refrigerator compartment 53 , The partition 86 is arranged, and when both doors are closed, the partition 86 and the gasket 85 are used to seal the gap between the doors. In addition, although it does not illustrate in particular about the said structure, you may make it seal between right-and-left doors without installing the partition body 86 in the center part by contact of the said gaskets.

  Further, from the viewpoint of storability and usability, the left door 60a is configured to be smaller in the width direction than the right door 60b, and is divided at substantially the same position as the ice making chamber 54 and the switching chamber 55 are divided. Yes. In addition, a plurality of left door pockets 90 and a plurality of right door pockets 91 are arranged in the vertical direction on the storage chamber sides of both doors to form a storage space for stored items in a plurality of stages. For the purpose of storing bottles such as PET bottles and seasonings, it has front and rear left and right walls and the upper part is open, fixed by a holding member (not shown) integrally formed on the door inner plate 89, etc. Holding strength is secured. Here, the rear wall can also be constituted by a door inner plate 89.

  In the door pocket of the present embodiment, the left door pocket 90 is configured to be smaller in the width direction than the right door pocket 91 in the same manner as the door described above, and the depth dimension C of the upper surface opening of the left door pocket 90 and the right door pocket 91 are configured. Are formed such that the relationship with the depth dimension D of the upper surface opening is C <D. That is, the right door pocket 91 is configured to protrude more toward the storage chamber and increase the storage space.

  This is because the right door pocket 91 has a large depth as shown by the rotation trajectory line (the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3) that prevents the double doors from interfering with each other. On the other hand, the left door pocket 90 has a small depth dimension, so that the left door pocket 90 can be formed within a rotation locus without forming an inclined portion. That is, generally, as the depth of the door pocket increases, the inclined portion becomes steep, leading to an increase in invalid space.

  Next, the internal shelf 80 does not interfere with the left door pocket 90 and the right door pocket 91 in the front-rear direction in the storage room space between the left door pocket 90 and the right door pocket 91 and the cold air duct 84 described above. A certain amount of gap is provided, and is held and supported and fixed by being placed on a protrusion formed integrally with the inner box 70, and arranged so as to be substantially horizontal in the vertical direction.

  Accordingly, the inside shelf 80 has a convex portion 93 having a depth dimension E on the left end side thereof and a concave portion 94 having a depth dimension F on the right end side, and has a concave-convex relationship of E> F, which is not found in a conventional refrigerator. A step 92 in the front-rear direction is formed on the front end side of the inner shelf 80 so that the depth dimension of the placement surface on which the stored items are placed is different in the width direction, and when the door side is the front, the inner shelf 80 The foremost side 96 of the front side of the front side of the cabinet is located closer to the front side of the cabinet than the innermost side 97 of the back side of the right door pocket protruding to the inside of the cabinet.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the cabinet shelf 80 is formed in a flat plate shape so that stored items can be easily placed, and is made of a transparent material so as to provide a sense of spaciousness and cleanliness in the storage room. It is common to configure. The left and right edges are supported by irregularities (not shown) with the inner box 70 of the heat insulating box 52, and can be replaced in the height direction according to the shape of the stored item, or the cabinet shelf 80 can be folded in the depth direction. Some are configured such that the dimensions can be varied.

  The effect | action is demonstrated below about the refrigerator comprised as mentioned above.

  First, the left door 60a and the right door 60b of the double door system configured at the front opening of the refrigerator compartment 53 are rotated and opened from the vicinity of the center of the refrigerator body 1 around the hinge 81, and the left door provided inside the door. The pocket 90 and the right door pocket 91 also rotate with the respective doors. At this time, it is necessary to make the shape within the rotation trajectory so that one door and the other door do not interfere with each other. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the right door pocket 91 with an inclined portion so as to have a shape inside the rotation locus (one-dot chain line) as shown in FIG. 3. By forming this inclined portion, the door pockets 90, 91 and In general, an invalid space is formed near the rear of the partition 86 in the space with the internal shelf 80.

  In the present embodiment, the left door pocket 90 is configured to have a small width and depth without forming an inclined portion as described above in the rotation trajectory of the left door 60a, and the right door pocket 91 is a rotation trajectory of the right door 60b. A depth dimension is configured to be larger than that of the left door pocket 90, and a recess 94 in the depth direction is provided on the right side of the inner shelf 80 along the inclined portion of the right door pocket 91. By forming the convex portion 93 so as to project to the vicinity of the left door pocket 90 on the side, it becomes possible to reduce the ineffective space that can be formed near the rear of the partition 86 and to increase the storage space in the storage chamber. .

  In particular, it is possible to make the space with the internal shelf 80 the smallest by configuring the concave portion 94 so as to conform to the shape of the right door pocket 91, so the door pockets 90, 91 and the internal shelf 80 It can be said that the storage space can be efficiently increased by expanding the shelf bottom area that can be stored in the entire storage room.

  From the above, by making the right door pocket 91 larger than the normal depth dimension in order to compensate for the smaller storage space of the left door pocket 90, the storage space combining both door pockets remains as it is in the cabinet shelf. It can be greatly appealed to the user that only the storage space of 80 is increased.

  In addition, it is possible to suppress the size of the invalid space due to the rotation trajectory of the double doors as described above by moving the position of the rotation trajectory forward by, for example, bringing the position of the hinge 81 forward. However, in recent years, there is an increasing tendency to increase the storage space of the door pocket, that is, to protrude more into the storage room, due to the increase in consumption of PET bottles and bottles and the convenience of being able to open and close immediately after opening the door. Further, it can be seen that this is very effective because the invalid space due to the rotation locus tends to increase.

  The above-described contents are the effect of only one section of the refrigerator compartment 53. The double doors are of the same height and the rotation locus shapes of the door pockets 90 and 91 are the same. By making the plurality of storage shelves 80 and the plurality of door pockets 90, 91 substantially the same shape, the storage space can be increased over the entire height of the storage chamber, and a great effect can be obtained. it can.

  Further, by making the inner shelf 80 composed of a plurality of stages in the up and down direction, the front end sides of the respective shelves from the upper stage to the lower stage are substantially at the same position, that is, by forming the step 92 at substantially the same position in the front and rear, right and left directions , The user can have a uniform appearance, and the design is very good. Furthermore, there is a possibility that a plurality of internal shelves 80 can be made the same part, which contributes to a reduction in manufacturing cost by reducing the work load in the construction and the manufacturing process at a low cost by sharing parts. The left door pocket 90 and the right door pocket 91 may also be used in combination with a plurality of parts that hang up and down like the internal shelf 80, and in this case, it is very effective.

  Next, the internal shelf 80 can create a large space in the convex portion 92 that is not conventionally provided by forming the convex portion 93 and the concave portion 94 by the door pockets 90 and 91 having a large and small depth. In particular, it is a great feature that the depth can be deepened, and it becomes possible to easily store very long storage items such as a pan with a handle and a jar with a handle without getting in the way. This can be realized simply by reducing the depth dimensions C and D of the left and right door pockets 90 and 91 and increasing the depth dimensions E and F of the internal shelf 80, but in this case, as described above, the user For this reason, the storage amount of the door pocket, which is very convenient for the user, is reduced, and conversely, the storage property of the refrigerator compartment 53 is deteriorated and it becomes difficult to use.

  In addition, the storage shelf 80 is formed in a relatively thin flat plate shape, so that the storage space for storage items in multiple stages can be made as large as possible, the storage space can be increased, and the shelf that is most visually worrisome. There is no feeling of pressure on the front edge, and by using a transparent material, the feeling of pressure in the entire storage room is lost and the feeling of spaciousness is not impaired.

  Further, the step 92 of the internal shelf 80 is not an angular step, but is formed in a smooth wave shape, for example, an R shape or a C chamfered shape to prevent stress concentration and distortion. This is a very effective means because it can prevent deflection and cracking even when the stored item is placed, and it is also beautiful and has a good design.

  In particular, the front end side of the shelf 80 that forms the frontage for putting in and out the stored items is generally not supported anywhere, and the front side portion of the flat glass is cut into, for example, a wave shape as a reinforcing structure. By using an object or using a wave-shaped glass, the strength can be further increased, and there is no need to use a reinforcing angle-shaped metal member or the like on the front end side.

  In addition, since the front side portion of the glass or the four sides including the front side portion are covered with the resin member 98, a step can be formed at the boundary between the glass and the resin member 98. It can be used with peace of mind by preventing injuries caused by contact between the glass end face and the finger when sliding in and out and changing the shelf in the cabinet and cracks starting from the glass end face. Even when the resin member 98 covering the glass is formed by insert molding, or when only the resin member 98 is molded and attached to the glass, the same effect can be obtained.

  In addition, although the said inside shelf 80 was demonstrated as what is comprised by the single flat form, even if it is a 2 component structure divided | segmented just in the level | step difference 92 vicinity, the shelf which comprises the convex part 93, and the recessed part 94 are comprised. A shelf 92 and a step 92 are formed between the shelves, and the same effect can be obtained in reducing the ineffective space to some extent.

  The inside shelf 80 may be molded from a transparent resin material instead of a glass material. In this case, the inside shelf 80 is far from the support portion and has an extended shape, with the vicinity of the step 92 having severely severe conditions as the center. There is a high possibility that some reinforcement is required on the front end side of the shelf 80.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the left door pocket 90 having a shallow depth can have a wide frontage dimension G because the depth dimension C is small even when it is opened only 90 degrees as shown in FIG. The stored item placed on the shelf 80 in the cabinet has an advantage that it can be easily put in and out by being positioned in front by the convex portion 93.

  In general, the refrigerator compartment 53 of the present embodiment is arranged at the top of the refrigerator main body 51, so that in recent years, in the refrigerator with a main body height of about 1800 mm whose main volume is more than 400 L, the user It is located on the same line as the line of eyes, and it is possible to easily put in and out the stored items, and the above-described ingenuity is applied to the shape of the door pockets 90 and 91 provided in the double doors 60a and 60b and the shelf 80 in the cabinet. As a result, it is possible to dramatically increase the storage space in the storage room and realize efficient storage according to the size and shape of the stored items.

  For example, the left door pocket 90 for storing relatively small bottles such as seasoning and dressing, the right door pocket 91 for storing relatively large items such as PET bottles and milk packs, and the shelf 80 in the cabinet are deep and narrow. The storage compartment is divided into four zones in the form of a stock zone for storing ingredients that do not frequently move in and out of the convex part 93, and a flow zone for storing foods that frequently draw in and out the wide recess part 94. It is possible to propose a corresponding storage category.

  Moreover, the front opening of the refrigerating room 53 is made the largest, and an ice making room 54, a vegetable room 55, a freezing room 56, etc. having a drawer door below are configured, thereby realizing an extremely easy-to-use storage room arrangement. it can.

  The embodiment described above is merely an embodiment of the present invention, and various modifications and applications are possible.

  For example, although the left door 60a has been described as having a width smaller than that of the right door 60b, the inner shelf facing the door pocket having a large depth dimension whatever the ratio of dividing both doors. By forming the concave portion 94 of 80 and forming the convex portion 93 of the internal shelf 80 facing the door pocket side having a small depth dimension, there is a slight difference in the amount of increase in storage space, but almost the same effect is obtained. can get.
