Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、冷蔵庫の開閉扉を開閉するための冷蔵庫の開閉機構に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の冷蔵庫の開閉機構は、軽い力で開閉扉を開けることができるようにするため、開閉扉を開ける際に、ハンドルの端部が外箱に当接するようにしている（以下の特許文献１を参照）。
【０００３】
【特許文献１】
特開２０００−１８８０３公報（段落番号［００１５］から［００２３］、図２）
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の冷蔵庫の開閉機構は以上のように構成されているので、軽い力で開閉扉を開けることができる。しかし、開閉扉の前面に突出するようにハンドルが取り付けられるため、冷蔵庫の美観が損なわれる課題があった。また、そのハンドルに埃が付着するため、開閉扉を開ける際にユーザの手に埃がつくことがあり、衛生上の課題があった。
【０００５】
この発明は上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、冷蔵庫の美観を維持することができるとともに、埃の付着を防止することができる冷蔵庫の開閉機構を得ることを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明に係る冷蔵庫の開閉機構は、ベース部材の回転軸を支点にして可動し、非使用時にはベース部材の全部又は一部を覆う一方、使用時には非使用時よりもベース部材を覆う範囲が減少して、ベース部材との間に手掛け用の空間を形成する手掛け部材を設けたものである。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の一形態を説明する。
実施の形態１．
図１はこの発明の実施の形態１による冷蔵庫の開閉機構を示す平面断面図であり、図２はこの発明の実施の形態１による冷蔵庫の開閉機構を示す側面断面図である。図において、開閉扉の内材１には断熱材が充填され、冷蔵庫本体の前面開口部と密着する。開閉扉の外材２は内材１の前面側に取り付けられ、断熱材が充填されている。ベース部材３は開閉扉に埋め込まれ、冷蔵庫本体の設置面に対して平行な回転軸４を有している。
手掛け部材５はベース部材３の回転軸４を支点にして可動し、非使用時にはベース部材３の略全部を覆う一方、使用時には非使用時よりもベース部材３を覆う範囲が減少して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成する。
【０００８】
次に動作について説明する。
非使用時においては、手掛け部材５は、自重により図２（ａ）に示す位置まで回転し、手掛け部材５の下側とベース部材３の間の隙間７のみを残して、ベース部材３の略全体を覆う。この隙間７はユーザの指が入る程度の大きさであり、下向きであるため、埃が侵入して、手掛け部材５の内側５ａ等に付着する可能性は極めて低い。
【０００９】
次に、ユーザが開閉扉を開くために、図３に示すように、ユーザが指を隙間７に入れると、手掛け部材５がベース部材３の回転軸４を支点にして、図２（ｂ）に示すように回転する。
これにより、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６が形成されるので、ユーザが手を深く入れることができるようになる。この状態において、ユーザが手掛け部材５の内側５ａに指を掛けて手を引くと、開閉扉を開くことができる。
なお、開閉扉を開く際に、手掛け部材５の内側５ａに指を掛けても、手掛け部材５の内側５ａには埃が付着していないので、指に埃がつく心配はない。
【００１０】
その後、ユーザが手掛け部材５から手を離すと、手掛け部材５は、自重により図２（ａ）に示す位置まで回転して元の状態に戻る。このように手掛け部材５が自重により回転するようにした場合、特別な部材が不要になり、機構の構成を簡略化することができる。
ただし、手掛け部材５にバネなどの弾性部材を取り付けることにより、弾性力によって図２（ａ）に示す位置まで回転するようにしてもよい。
【００１１】
以上で明らかなように、この実施の形態１によれば、ベース部材３の回転軸４を支点にして可動し、非使用時にはベース部材３の略全部を覆う一方、使用時には非使用時よりもベース部材３を覆う範囲が減少して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成する手掛け部材５を設けるように構成したので、開閉扉の前面に突出する凸部材の取り付けに伴う美観の損ないを防止することができるとともに、埃の付着を防止することができる効果を奏する。したがって、美観面や衛生面の優れた冷蔵庫を提供することができる。
【００１２】
なお、この実施の形態１では、手掛け部材５の下側とベース部材３の間の隙間７のみを残して、ベース部材３の略全体を覆うものについて示したが、手掛け部材５の下側とベース部材３の間の隙間７を残さず、ベース部材３の全体を覆うようにしてもよい。
この場合には、非使用時の埃の侵入をほぼ完全に防止することができる。しかし、開閉扉を開く際に、手掛け部材５を回転させる必要があるので、例えば、指を入れる丸穴を手掛け部材５に開けるなどの施工や、手掛け部材５の回転に用いるフックの取り付けなどが必要になる。
【００１３】
実施の形態２．
上記実施の形態１では、非使用時にはベース部材３の略全部を覆う一方、使用時には非使用時よりもベース部材３を覆う範囲が減少して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成する手掛け部材５を設けたものについて示したが、図４に示すように、手掛け部材５が非使用時にはベース部材３の全部又は一部を覆う位置までスライドして下降し、使用時には垂直方向の上昇を許容して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成するようにしてもよく、上記実施の形態１と同様の効果を奏することができる。
なお、ユーザが手掛け部材５から手を離すと、手掛け部材５は、自重により図４（ａ）に示す位置まで下降して元の状態に戻る。ただし、手掛け部材５にバネなどの弾性部材を取り付けることにより、弾性力によって図４（ａ）に示す位置まで下降するようにしてもよい。
【００１４】
実施の形態３．
上記実施の形態１では、手掛け部材５が使用時には上方向への回転を許容して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成するものについて示したが、図５に示すように、手掛け部材５が非使用時にはベース部材３の全部を覆う位置まで回転し、使用時には下方向への回転を許容して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成するようにしてもよく、上記実施の形態１と同様の効果を奏することができる。
なお、手掛け部材５にはバネなどの弾性部材（図示せず）や錘が取り付けられており、ユーザが手掛け部材５から手を離すと、手掛け部材５は、その弾性部材の弾性力や錘の重力によって、図５（ａ）に示す位置まで回転して元の状態に戻る。
【００１５】
実施の形態４．
上記実施の形態２では、手掛け部材５が非使用時にはベース部材３の全部又は一部を覆う位置までスライドして下降し、使用時には垂直方向の上昇を許容して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成するものについて示したが、図６に示すように、手掛け部材５が非使用時にはベース部材３の全部を覆う位置までスライドして上昇し、使用時には垂直方向の下降を許容して、ベース部材３との間に手掛け用の空間６を形成するようにしてもよく、上記実施の形態２と同様の効果を奏することができる。
なお、手掛け部材５にはバネなどの弾性部材（図示せず）が取り付けられており、ユーザが手掛け部材５から手を離すと、手掛け部材５は、その弾性部材の弾性力によって図６（ａ）に示す位置まで回転して元の状態に戻る。
【００１６】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、この発明によれば、ベース部材の回転軸を支点にして可動し、非使用時にはベース部材の全部又は一部を覆う一方、使用時には非使用時よりもベース部材を覆う範囲が減少して、ベース部材との間に手掛け用の空間を形成する手掛け部材を設けるように構成したので、冷蔵庫の美観を維持することができるとともに、埃の付着を防止することができる冷蔵庫の開閉機構が得られる効果がある。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a refrigerator opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing a refrigerator opening and closing door.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the conventional refrigerator opening and closing mechanism, the end of the handle comes into contact with the outer box when the opening and closing door is opened so that the opening and closing door can be opened with a light force (see Patent Document 1 below). See).
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
JP 2000-18803 A (paragraph numbers [0015] to [0023], FIG. 2)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional opening / closing mechanism of the refrigerator is configured as described above, the opening / closing door can be opened with a light force. However, since the handle is attached so as to protrude from the front of the opening / closing door, there is a problem that the aesthetic appearance of the refrigerator is impaired. In addition, since dust adheres to the handle, dust may be attached to the user's hand when the opening / closing door is opened, causing a problem in hygiene.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator opening / closing mechanism that can maintain the appearance of a refrigerator and prevent dust from adhering.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The opening / closing mechanism for a refrigerator according to the present invention is movable about the rotation axis of the base member as a fulcrum, and covers all or a part of the base member when not in use, while reducing the range of covering the base member when in use than when not in use. Thus, a hand-holding member for forming a space for hand-holding with the base member is provided.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a plan sectional view showing a refrigerator opening / closing mechanism according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a refrigerator opening / closing mechanism according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, a heat insulating material is filled in the inner material 1 of the opening / closing door, and closely adheres to the front opening of the refrigerator body. The outer member 2 of the door is attached to the front side of the inner member 1 and is filled with a heat insulating material. The base member 3 is embedded in the opening / closing door, and has a rotating shaft 4 parallel to the installation surface of the refrigerator body.
The handle member 5 is movable with the rotation axis 4 of the base member 3 as a fulcrum, and covers substantially the entire base member 3 when not in use, but reduces the range in which the base member 3 is covered when in use than when not in use. A space 6 for handling is formed with the member 3.
[0008]
Next, the operation will be described.
At the time of non-use, the handle member 5 rotates to the position shown in FIG. 2A by its own weight, and only the gap 7 between the lower side of the handle member 5 and the base member 3 is left. Cover the whole. Since the gap 7 is large enough to allow a user's finger to enter, and is downward, it is extremely unlikely that dust will enter and adhere to the inside 5 a of the handle member 5.
[0009]
Next, as shown in FIG. 3, when the user puts his / her finger into the gap 7 in order to open the opening / closing door, the hand-held member 5 is supported by the rotation shaft 4 of the base member 3 as a fulcrum. Rotate as shown.
Thereby, a space 6 for handling is formed between the base member 3 and the base member 3, so that the user can insert his / her hand deeply. In this state, when the user puts his / her finger on the inside 5a of the handhold member 5 and pulls his hand, the door can be opened.
When opening the opening / closing door, even if a finger is hung on the inside 5a of the handle member 5, there is no fear that dust adheres to the finger because no dust adheres to the inside 5a of the handle member 5.
[0010]
Thereafter, when the user releases his / her hand from the handle member 5, the handle member 5 rotates to the position shown in FIG. 2A by its own weight and returns to the original state. When the handle member 5 is rotated by its own weight, a special member is not required, and the configuration of the mechanism can be simplified.
However, by attaching an elastic member such as a spring to the handle member 5, it may be rotated to the position shown in FIG.
[0011]
As is clear from the above, according to the first embodiment, the base member 3 is movable with the rotation shaft 4 as a fulcrum, and covers almost the entire base member 3 when not in use, while it is more used than when not in use. The range in which the base member 3 is covered is reduced, and the handhold member 5 that forms the space 6 for handhold is provided between the base member 3 and the base member 3. It is possible to prevent the aesthetic appearance from being impaired and to prevent dust from adhering. Therefore, a refrigerator excellent in aesthetics and hygiene can be provided.
[0012]
In the first embodiment, a case is described in which substantially the entire base member 3 is covered except for the gap 7 between the lower side of the handle member 5 and the base member 3. The entire base member 3 may be covered without leaving the gap 7 between the base members 3.
In this case, intrusion of dust when not in use can be almost completely prevented. However, it is necessary to rotate the handle member 5 when opening the opening / closing door, and therefore, for example, construction such as opening a round hole for inserting a finger in the handle member 5 or attaching a hook used for rotating the handle member 5 is required. Will be needed.
[0013]
Embodiment 2 FIG.
In the first embodiment, while the base member 3 is covered substantially entirely when not in use, the area for covering the base member 3 is reduced when not in use and when not in use. 4 is shown, but as shown in FIG. 4, when the handle member 5 is not used, it slides down to a position covering all or a part of the base member 3, and when used, the hand member 5 moves vertically. The space 6 for handling may be formed between the base member 3 and the base member 3 by allowing the direction to rise, and the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.
When the user removes his / her hand from the handle member 5, the handle member 5 is lowered by its own weight to the position shown in FIG. However, by attaching an elastic member such as a spring to the handle member 5, it may be lowered to the position shown in FIG.
[0014]
Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the case where the handhold member 5 is allowed to rotate upward when used and the handhold space 6 is formed between the handhold member 5 and the base member 3 is shown in FIG. When the handle member 5 is not used, the handle member 5 rotates to a position covering the entire base member 3, and when used, allows downward rotation to form a handle space 6 between the handle member 5 and the base member 3. Thus, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.
An elastic member (not shown) such as a spring or a weight is attached to the handle member 5, and when the user removes his / her hand from the handle member 5, the handle member 5 is resiliently operated by the elastic force of the elastic member or the weight. Due to gravity, it rotates to the position shown in FIG. 5A and returns to the original state.
[0015]
Embodiment 4 FIG.
In the second embodiment, when the handhold member 5 is not used, it slides down to a position covering all or a part of the base member 3, and when used, allows the hand member 5 to rise in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 6, the space 6 for hanging is formed, but as shown in FIG. 6, when the hanging member 5 is not used, it slides up to a position covering the entire base member 3, and when used, descends vertically in use. The space 6 for handling may be formed between the base member 3 and the space, and the same effect as in the second embodiment can be obtained.
An elastic member (not shown) such as a spring is attached to the handle member 5, and when the user releases his / her hand from the handle member 5, the handle member 5 is moved by the elastic force of the elastic member as shown in FIG. ) And return to the original state.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the base member is movable with the rotation axis as a fulcrum, and covers a whole or a part of the base member when not in use, and a range in which the base member is covered when in use than when not in use. Since it is configured to provide a hanging member which forms a space for hanging between the base member and the base member, the opening / closing of the refrigerator can maintain the aesthetic appearance of the refrigerator and prevent dust from being attached. There is an effect that a mechanism can be obtained.
