Abstract
Disclosed is a refrigerator having a shelf assembly in a storage compartment. The refrigerator includes a body provided with a storage compartment, a shelf configured to load goods stored in the storage compartment, a panel configured to form one surface of the storage compartment and provided with a plurality of support guides, and a frame configured to support the shelf and configured to be movable in a transverse direction along the plurality of support guides by being detachably coupled to the panel.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A refrigerator comprising:
a body provided with a storage compartment; a shelf configured to load goods stored in the storage compartment; a panel configured to form one surface of the storage compartment and provided with a plurality of support guides; and a frame configured to support the shelf and configured to be movable in a transverse direction along the plurality of support guides by being detachably coupled to the panel.
2 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of support guides is extended in the transverse direction and arranged in a longitudinal direction.
3 . The refrigerator of claim 2 , wherein
the frame comprises a first locking portion and a second locking portion coupled to two support guides adjacent to each other among the plurality of support guides.
4 . The refrigerator of claim 3 , wherein
the frame comprises a first roller installed in the first locking portion and a second roller installed in the second locking portion.
5 . The refrigerator of claim 4 , wherein
the plurality of support guides comprises a support groove into which the frame is inserted and a support portion connected to the support groove in a rear surface of the panel.
6 . The refrigerator of claim 5 , wherein
the first roller is supported by a front inner surface of the support portion and the second roller disposed in the lower side of the first roller is supported by a rear inner surface of the support portion.
7 . The refrigerator of claim 6 , wherein
as the first roller is guided to the rear inner surface of the support portion and the second roller is guided to the front inner surface of the support portion, the frame is movable in the transverse direction along the plurality of support guides.
8 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein
a height in which the frame is coupled to the panel is changed as the frame is mounted to or detached from the plurality of support guides.
9 . The refrigerator of claim 5 , wherein
the support portion comprises a hole configured to discharge cold air to the storage compartment via the support groove.
10 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein
the panel further comprises a cold air discharging portion disposed in an upper portion or one side of the panel and configured to discharge cold air to the storage compartment.
11 . The refrigerator of claim 3 , wherein
the frame further comprises a fixing member configured to fix the shelf, wherein the shelf comprises an interference member configured to interfere the fixing member and the shelf is detachably coupled to the frame.
12 . The refrigerator of claim 11 , wherein
the fixing member comprises a second locking protrusion protruding in the lower side, wherein the interference member comprises a first locking protrusion protruding in the upper side to be coupled to the second locking protrusion and a handle portion configured to release the coupling between the first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion.
13 . The refrigerator of claim 11 , wherein
the first locking protrusion comprises a through hole configured to allow the fixing member to be movable in the longitudinal direction and an accommodation groove configured to allow the interference member to be movable in the front and rear direction.
14 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of support guides supports the plurality of shelves in the transverse or longitudinal direction.
15 . The refrigerator of claim 3 , wherein
the frame supports the center of a lower surface of the shelf, and the first locking portion is extended to opposite sides in the transverse direction so that a transverse width of the first locking portion corresponds to a transverse width of the shelf.
16 . A refrigerator comprising:
a body provided with a storage compartment; a rear panel provided with a plurality of support guides extended in a transverse direction and arranged in a longitudinal direction, and configured to form a rear surface of the storage compartment; a shelf configured to load goods stored in the storage compartment; and a frame provided with a locking portion detachably coupled to two support guides adjacent to each other among the plurality of support guides so that a height in which the shelf is coupled to the rear panel is changed, and a roller configured to allow the shelf to be movable in the transverse direction along the plurality of support guides.
17 . The refrigerator of claim 16 , wherein
the rear panel comprises a cold air discharging portion configured to discharge cold air to the storage compartment.
18 . The refrigerator of claim 17 , wherein
the cold air discharging portion comprises the plurality of support guides
19 . A refrigerator comprising:
a body provided with a storage compartment; a shelf assembly provided with a shelf configured to load goods stored in the storage compartment, and a frame configured to support the shelf and provided with a locking portion having a roller installed in one end portion of the locking portion; and a rear panel configured to support the shelf assembly and configured to allow the shelf assembly to be movable in a transverse direction in the storage compartment by having a plurality of support grooves extended in a transverse direction and arranged in a longitudinal direction, and a support portion supporting the roller.Cited by (0)
