Refrigerator door assembly with door basket {Door assembly having door basket}
[10] The present invention relates to a door of a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a door assembly of a refrigerator having a door basket configured to store food more conveniently.
[11] As shown in Fig. 1, a refrigerator 2 for storing food in a refrigerated state and a freezing chamber 4 for storing food in a frozen state are formed in the refrigerator. The refrigerating compartment 2 and the freezing compartment 4 are opened and closed by doors 12 and 14, respectively. The doors 12 and 14 are installed to substantially prevent cold air from the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment formed inside the refrigerator.
[12] In addition, a plurality of shelves are installed in the refrigerator to store food. In addition, door baskets 12a and 12b for storing food such as cans or bottles are provided in multiple stages on the rear surfaces of the doors 12 and 14.
[13] Looking at the structure of the conventional door basket (12a, 12b) as described above, it can be seen that the upper surface is installed in an open state, the front and both sides are closed with a certain height. Therefore, in order to store the food in the conventional door baskets (12a, 12b), there is no choice but to store or remove the food in the vertical direction.
[14] As described above, storing the food in the door baskets 12a and 12b from top to bottom poses a disadvantage that is substantially inconvenient in use. That is, the user should always lift the food up to the top of the door basket and then store it downwards toward the inside of the door baskets 12a and 12b, and always lift upwards even when taking out the stored items. Therefore, especially when storing or withdrawing heavy food, it can be said that the inconvenience is increased.
[15] In addition, according to the food storage structure of the conventional door baskets (12a, 12b), since the food must be stored or taken out only in the up and down direction, the doors (12, 14) can be used only in a fully opened state. As such, the use of the door basket only when the door is completely opened results in a relatively large amount of cool air inside the refrigerator, which is an undesirable disadvantage in terms of power consumption.
[16] The present invention is to solve the above disadvantages, the main object is to provide a door basket more convenient to store and take out food.
[17] Another object of the present invention is to provide a door basket which can minimize the leakage of cold air by allowing food to be stored or withdrawn in the door basket without fully opening the door.

[18] The door assembly of the refrigerator according to the present invention for achieving the above object, the door for opening and closing the storage space inside the refrigerator; A door basket installed at a rear surface of the door and having a front surface having a predetermined height and an open portion formed at an outer surface thereof; And installed on one side of the door basket, it comprises a support frame for selectively opening and closing the open portion.
[19] The support frame is rotatably inserted and supported on a side portion of the front surface of the door basket, and the outer end thereof is closed by being positioned above the open portion, and is opened while the lateral end thereof is directed upward by rotating. Configured to open the part.
[20] According to the present invention, since the article is stored using the open side of the door basket, the storage of the heavy article is particularly convenient, and the cold air inside the refrigerator can be effectively prevented when the door basket is used.
[21] Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.
[22] 2 and 3, according to the present invention, a plurality of door baskets 40 are installed on the rear surface of the door 30 that opens and closes the storage space inside the refrigerator. The door basket 40 is installed so that food can be stored more efficiently by utilizing the space in the rear portion of the door 30.
[23] In addition, according to the present invention, the front surface 42 of the door basket 40 is formed to have a constant height. And the opening part 44 is formed in the outer surface (opposite the hinge side of the door) of the door basket 40. As shown in FIG. That is, the outer surface of the door basket 40 is formed with the open part 44 which has almost no height upward compared with the front surface 42 which has a fixed height. And the upper surface of the door basket 40 is open. The inner side surface (the hinge side of the door) of the door basket 40 of this invention is formed so that it may have the same height as the said front surface 42. As shown in FIG.
[24] Therefore, when the user wants to store an object in the door basket 40 according to the present invention, it is also possible to store or withdraw food through the open upper surface of the door basket 40. In addition, according to the present invention, it is also possible to store or withdraw food through the open opening portion 44 of the door basket 40.
[25] That is, the user can put or take out food through the open portion 44 of the outer surface of the door basket 40. As described above, it is natural to put or take out food through the open portion 44 of the outer side surface of the door basket 40, which is substantially more convenient than the conventional one.
[26] In addition, the opening portion 44, a device for supporting the food stored in the interior of the door basket 40 to be separated outward should be installed. That is, as shown in Figure 2, when the stored food (F) is located on the outer surface of the door basket adjacent to the open portion 44, when the door is opened, the stored food (F) is turned sideways by inertial force There is a risk of falling or falling.
[27] Therefore, in the present invention, the support frame 46 as shown is provided. That is, a support frame 46 formed of, for example, a metal bar is installed on the upper part of the opening part 44, so that the opening part of the side can be selectively opened and closed by rotating the support frame 46. It consists.
[28] The support frame 46 is rotatably supported by being fitted to the side surface portion 43 of the front surface connecting the open portion of the outer surface in the front surface 42 having a constant height. And the outer end portion 47 of the support frame 46 is bent backward to block the open portion of the outer surface.
[29] Next, the overall use state of the door basket having the support frame 46 will be described.
[30] As shown in FIG. 3, when the support frame 46 is rotated upward, the outer side opening portion 44 of the door basket 40 is opened. At this time, the support frame 46 will be able to open the outer surface opening portion 44 of the door basket 40 by rotating in the state inserted into the side portion 43 of the front surface 42. .
[31] In the state in which the support frame 46 opens the open portion 44, the user can put or take out the food F into the upper portion of the door basket 40 through the open portion 44.
[32] Thus, when food is stored in the door basket 40 through the outer side opening part 44 of the door basket 40, the whole door 30 does not need to be fully opened. That is, as shown in Figure 4, opening the door 30 only a portion (so that the opening portion 44 can be exposed), the food basket (F) through the opening portion 44 of the door basket of the present invention 40 can be accommodated.
[33] As described above, when the end of the support frame 46 opens the open portion 44, when the storing of the food F is completed, the support frame 46 is rotated so that the end 47 of the support frame 46 rotates. It is to be able to completely block the portion (44). 2 shows a state in which the support frame 46 completely closes the outer side opening portion 44 of the door basket 40.
[34] As described above, according to the present invention, the outer side of the door basket 40 is opened to form the open portion 44, and the support frame 46 is configured to selectively open and close the open portion. It can be seen that the basic technical idea.
[35] Within the scope of the basic technical idea of the present invention, many other modifications will be possible to those skilled in the art.
[36] For example, the support frame 46 is supported on one side of the door basket 40, within the technical range that can selectively open and close the opening portion 44, of course, various modifications are possible.
[37] It is apparent that the present invention should be interpreted based on the appended claims.
[38] According to the present invention as described above it can be expected the following effects.
[39] First, by using the outer surface opening portion 44 of the door basket 40 to put or take out the food (F) in the door basket, the user can use the door basket more conveniently. Especially when storing heavy foods, more convenient advantage is expected.
[40] According to the structure of the door basket according to the present invention, since the food can be put into or taken out of the door basket without completely opening the door, an effect of substantially minimizing the leakage of cold air in the refrigerator is expected.
