  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the heat insulation box 2 of the refrigerator 1 is a heat insulation wall in which a space formed by a synthetic resin inner box 12 and a steel plate outer box 13 is filled with a foam heat insulating material 14. It is configured. In addition, a cooler and a fan (not shown) are provided on the rear side of the vegetable compartment 6 and the freezer compartment 7, and each cooler is driven by a compressor (not shown) disposed in the lower rear part of the refrigerator 1, Cold air cooled by the cooler is sent to each storage room. Each storage room is controlled to be cooled to a predetermined temperature for each storage room. 3 and 4, a cold air duct 15 for guiding the cold air cooled by the cooler to the cold room 3 side is provided at the rear part of the cold room 3.

  Sealing gaskets 16 are attached to the inner peripheral edges of the left door 8 and the right door 9 of the refrigerator compartment 3. Further, a plurality of left door pockets 17 are provided in the vertical direction inside the left door 8 (in the refrigerator compartment 3 side) so as to protrude toward the refrigerator compartment 3 side. On the inner side of the right door 9 (in the refrigerator compartment 3 side), a plurality of right door pockets 18 projecting toward the refrigerator compartment 3 side are provided in the vertical direction. The left door pocket 17 has a similar shape in a plurality of steps. The right door pocket 18 also has a plurality of steps with the same shape.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the left door 8 and the right door 9 (including the left door pocket 17 and the right door pocket 18 in this case) are left so as not to interfere with the other party when opening and closing them. It is necessary to set the door pocket 17 and the right door pocket 18 in a shape that fits within the rotation trajectories 19 and 20 of the left door 8 and the right door 9 (one-dot chain line in FIG. 4), respectively. For this reason, the depth dimension A1 of the left door pocket 17 is set shorter than the depth dimension A2 of the right door pocket 18 (A1 <A2). An inclined portion 18 a is formed on the left side of the right door pocket 18.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a partition 22 is arranged between the left door 8 and the right door 9. When both the left door 8 and the right door 9 are closed, the partition 22 and each gasket 16 The gap between the left door 8 and the right door 9 is sealed. The partition 22 is pivotally attached to the right end of the left door 8, and rotates with the opening and closing of the left door 8 so that the left door 8 can be closed even after the right door 9 is closed first. It has a moving structure.

  A chilled case 23 for storing meat, fish, and the like, and a small case 24 for storing eggs, etc. are disposed at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment 3. In the refrigerating chamber 3, a single first shelf 30 is disposed immediately above the chilled case 23 and the accessory case 24, and a second shelf 31 is disposed above the first shelf 30. In this case, three stages are arranged in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. The first shelf 30 and the second shelf 31 are both made of synthetic resin, and are installed so as to span horizontally between the left side surface and the right side surface in the refrigerator compartment 3. In addition, the 1st shelf 30 and the 2nd shelf 31 can also be made from glass.

  Of these, as shown in FIG. 4, the second shelf 31 is configured to be divided into a rear rear division shelf 32 and a front front division shelf 33 in the middle in the depth direction. Among these, the rear division shelf 32 is formed in a simple rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction, and the depth dimension B1 on the left end side and the depth dimension B2 on the right end side are set to be equal (B1 = B2). ). On the other hand, the front division shelf 33 is formed in a shape in which the depth dimension of the left part is larger than the depth dimension of the right part, and the depth dimension C1 of the left end side is larger than the depth dimension C2 of the right end side. (C1> C2). The shape of the front division shelf 33 is to cope with the difference in the projecting dimensions of the left door pocket 17 and the right door pocket 18 toward the refrigerator compartment 3 side. At the front edge of the front divided shelf 33, a step 34 is formed in the middle between the left and right parts. The stepped portion 34 has a shape along the left inclined portion 18 a of the right door pocket 18. In this case, the depth dimension C1 of the left end side of the front division shelf 33 is set larger than the depth dimensions B1 and B2 of the left and right end sides of the rear division shelf 32 (C1> B1, B2). The depth dimension C2 of the right end side is set smaller than the depth dimensions B1 and B2 of the left and right end sides of the rear divided shelf 32 (C2 <B1, B2).

  Accordingly, in the second shelf 31 before the division (a combination of the rear division shelf 32 and the front division shelf 33), the left depth dimension D1 (B1 + C1) is larger than the right depth dimension D2 (B2 + C2). (D1> D2), and the depth dimensions are different on the left and right. Here, in FIG. 4, in the front division shelf 33, the left part having a large depth dimension is referred to as a large depth part 33a, and the right part having a small depth dimension is referred to as a small depth part 33b. In the second shelf 31, the depth dimension C1 of the left end side where the depth dimension of the front division shelf 33 is the longest is the depth dimension of the right part where the depth dimension of the second shelf 31 before division is the shortest part. It is set shorter than D2 (same as B2 + C2) (C1 <D2). The three second shelves 31 have the same configuration.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the first shelf 30 is composed of a single plate, and the outer shape is the second shelf 31 (the rear divided shelf 32 and the front divided shelf 33 are combined. It is configured in substantially the same manner as the external shape of the above. Therefore, similarly to the second shelf 31, the first shelf 30 is also configured so that the depth dimension of the left part is set larger than the depth dimension of the right part, and the depth dimension is different on the left and right. A stepped portion 35 having the same shape as the stepped portion 34 is also formed at the front edge portion of the first shelf 30 at the intermediate portion between the left portion and the right portion.

  On the left side surface and the right side surface in the refrigerator compartment 3, shelf receiving parts for receiving and supporting the second shelf 31 are provided at positions facing each other. Specifically, on the left side in the refrigerator compartment 3, as shown in FIG. 3, three stages of shelf receiving portions 40a for receiving the second shelf 31 are provided. Each shelf receiving portion 40a protrudes in a bowl shape toward the inside of the refrigerator compartment 3 and extends in the front-rear direction. The depth dimension from the front end to the rear end of each shelf receiving portion 40a is set to substantially the same length as the depth dimension D1 of the left portion of the second shelf 31 (see FIG. 4). A shelf receiving portion 40b (see FIG. 4) having the same shape as the shelf receiving portion 40a is also provided on the right side surface in the refrigerator compartment 3 at a position facing the shelf receiving portion 40a. The depth dimension from the front end to the rear end of the right shelf receiving part 40b is set to be substantially the same as the depth dimension D2 of the right part of the second shelf 31.

  Therefore, the rear division shelf 32 and the front division shelf 33 of the second shelf 31 are received and supported by the left and right opposite shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b, respectively, so that the left side surface in the refrigerator compartment 3 It can be installed in a horizontal state so as to span between the right side surface.

  In addition, on the left side and the right side in the refrigerator compartment 3, the shelf holders 41a and 41b (FIG. 3) are positioned below the shelf receivers 40a and 40b for receiving and supporting the second shelf 31, respectively. 6, 7, and 8 (see FIGS. 8A and 8B). Similar to the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b, these divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b protrude inward from the refrigerator compartment 3 and extend in the front-rear direction, but from the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b. Also, the depth dimension is short and it is arranged closer to the rear. The left divided shelf receiving portion 41a and the right divided shelf receiving portion 41b have the same depth dimension from the front end to the rear end. The depth dimensions of the left and right divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b are set to be substantially the same as the depth dimension C1 of the left end side where the depth dimension of the front divided shelf 33 is long, and in this case, is set slightly longer. Therefore, the left and right divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b are set to have a depth dimension longer than the right end side, which is the portion where the depth dimension of the front divided shelf 33 is the shortest.

Among the second shelves 31, the front divided shelf 33 removed from the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b is divided into left and right end portions of the divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b opposite to each other as shown in FIGS. It can be installed in a horizontal state so as to be bridged between the left side surface and the right side surface in the refrigerator compartment 3 by being received and supported.
In this case, the left and right shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b and the divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b are each configured as one piece in the front-rear direction, but may be configured to be divided into a plurality of pieces in the front-rear direction. .

  Hooks 43 are detachably attached to the left and right ends of the front divided shelf 33. The attachment structure of the hook 43 will be described with reference to FIG. Hook attachment portions 44 that are recessed from other portions are formed at intermediate portions in the depth direction of the left and right ends of the front division shelf 33. Engagement recesses 45 are formed on both upper and lower sides (both front and back sides) of the hook mounting portion 44 in the lateral direction. On the other hand, the hook 43 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and has a substantially U-shaped attached portion 46 and a hook portion 47, and an engaging claw 48 is provided at the tip of the attached portion 46. It is provided integrally.

The hook 43 is attached to the hook attachment portion 44 of the front division shelf 33 as follows. With the hook portion 47 of the hook 43 on the lower side, the mounted portion 46 is fitted to the hook mounting portion 44 of the front divided shelf 33 from the lateral direction, and the engaging claw 48 is engaged with the upper engaging concave portion 45. Combine. Thereby, the hook 43 is attached to one end of the front division shelf 33. A hook 43 is similarly attached to the other end.
The hook 43 can be attached to the hook attaching portion 44 of the front divided shelf 33 even when the hook portion 47 is on the lower side as described above, but can be attached even when the hook portion 47 is on the upper side. . In this case, the engaging claw 48 is engaged with the lower engaging recess 45.

  When the front divided shelf 33 is attached to, for example, the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b with the hooks 43 attached to the left and right ends of the front divided shelf 33 as described above, as shown in FIG. 47 is positioned so that it holds the shelf receiving portions 40a, 40b from the side. By attaching the front divided shelf 33 to the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b in this manner, for example, even when the front divided shelf 33 is put on the front end, the hook portion 47 is engaged with the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b. Further, it is possible to prevent the front division shelf 33 from being inclined and falling on the front division shelf 33. Also when attaching the front division shelf 33 to the division shelf receiving parts 41a and 41b, it can prevent that the front division shelf 33 inclines by setting it as the same attachment structure as the above.

Note that hooks 43 similar to the hooks 43 of the front division shelf 33 are attached to the left and right ends of the rear division shelf 32.
In the refrigerator 1 having the above-described configuration, as shown in FIG. 4, the depth dimension A1 of the left door pocket 17 of the left door 8 is set shorter than the depth dimension A2 of the right door pocket 18 of the right door 9, and the refrigerator compartment 1, the first shelf 30 and the second shelf 31 are set so that the left depth dimension D1 is longer than the right depth dimension D2, and the first shelf 30 and the second shelf 31 By forming the step portions 34 and 35 on the front edge portion, it is possible to reduce the space in which the stored items cannot be placed in the refrigerator compartment 3, and to improve the storage efficiency.

  Further, the second shelf 31 can be divided into a rear division shelf 32 and a front division shelf 33, and the front division shelf 33 removed from the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b is arranged as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. It can be installed in the divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b existing below the divided shelf 32. That is, the rear divided shelf 32 and the front divided shelf 33 obtained by dividing the second shelf 31 can be installed and used in two upper and lower stages. In such a case, a large space is formed in the height direction (vertical direction) in front of the rear division shelf 32 and the front division shelf 33, so that the front portion of the first shelf 30 below the front division shelf 33 is formed. A tall bottle or the like can be placed on the top, and the usability can be further improved. Moreover, since the front division shelf 33 is installed in the division shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b, a storage space can be formed between the front division shelf 33 and the upper rear division shelf 32 with a small height. It is possible to place a small storage item on the divided shelf 33 as well.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, when the front divided shelf 33 removed from the shelf receiving portions 40 a and 40 b is directly installed on the divided shelf receiving portions 41 a and 41 b below the rear divided shelf 32, The front edge portion 33 has a form along the front edge portion of the first shelf 30 behind the front edge portion of the first shelf 30 installed below. For this reason, a sufficient space in the height direction formed on the front side on the first shelf 30 cannot obtain a sufficient depth dimension. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A, the front edge of the left front portion having a large depth dimension in the first shelf 30 and the front edge of the left large depth portion 33a having a large depth dimension in the front division shelf 33. Between the front edge portion of the right depth portion having a small depth size in the first shelf 30 and the front edge portion of the right small depth portion 33b having a small depth size in the front division shelf 33. The depth dimension E2 has the same length (E1 = E2), and a large space in the height direction on the front side on the first shelf 30 cannot obtain a sufficient depth dimension. For this reason, even if the second shelf 31 is divided, only thin and tall items can be placed in front of the front divided shelf 33.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the front divided shelf 33 removed from the shelf receiving portions 40 a and 40 b is turned upside down so that the left and right sides are reversed. Try to install. At this time, the left and right hooks 43 are replaced so as to change the vertical direction. When the front division shelf 33 is installed as shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the depth small portion 33b side having a small depth dimension in the front division shelf 33 is installed below. The shelf 30 is located above the left part where the depth dimension is large. For this reason, the depth dimension F between the front edge portion of the left portion having a large depth dimension in the first shelf 30 and the front edge portion of the small depth portion 33b having a small depth dimension in the front division shelf 33 is the above-described depth dimension F in FIG. The depth dimension E1 and E2 between the front edge part of the 1st shelf 30 and the front edge part of the front division | segmentation shelf 33 can be ensured larger (F> E1, E2).

Thereby, a large space in the height direction in front of the front division shelf 33 that can be formed on the left portion having a large depth dimension in the first shelf 30 installed below the front division shelf 33 has a large depth dimension F. It will be obtained. For this reason, it becomes possible to place (store) a relatively thick and tall object, such as a rice cake or a pan, in front of the small depth portion 33b where the depth dimension of the divided front dividing shelf 33 is small, Usability can be further improved.
In addition, when the 2nd shelf 31 is divided | segmented, the front division shelf 33 is installed in the shelf receiving parts 40a and 40b, and the rear division shelf 32 after removing the divided shelf 32a below the shelf receiving parts 40a and 40b, It is also possible to install in 41b.

  In FIG. 4, the depth dimension C1 of the left end side where the depth dimension of the front division shelf 33 is the longest is the right depth dimension D2 (B2 + C2) where the depth dimension of the second shelf 31 before division is the shortest part. Is the same as (C1 <D2). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 8B, even when the front divided shelf 33 is installed on the divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b with the front and back turned upside down so that the left and right sides are reversed, It can prevent that a front edge part interferes with the right door pocket 18 with a large depth dimension.

  The left and right divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b are set to be substantially the same as the depth large portion 33a having the largest depth size of the front divided shelf 33 or longer than that. For this reason, even when the front division shelf 33 is installed in the division shelf receiving parts 41a and 41b as shown in FIG. 6 or when it is installed upside down as shown in FIG. The shelf 33 can be supported in a stable state. In addition, the depth dimension of the left and right divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b is longer than at least the portion where the depth dimension of the front divided shelf 33 is the smallest, and supports the side where the depth dimension of the front divided shelf 33 is the longest in a stable state. (The length of the depth of the front division shelf 33 is 80% or more of the longest part).

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and this second embodiment is particularly different from the first embodiment in the hook mounting structure.
The pre-divided shelf 33A of the second shelf that can be divided is formed to be thinner than the front-divided shelf 33 in the first embodiment. And the hook attachment part 51 which makes a substantially L shape is provided in the up-and-down both sides at the right-and-left both ends (only the left end is shown in FIG. 10) of the front division shelf 33A. Each hook mounting portion 51 is formed with an engagement hole 52. Further, an insertion groove 53 is formed between each hook mounting portion 51 and the main portion of the front division shelf 33A. On the other hand, the hook 54 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin and integrally includes a tongue-shaped attached portion 55 and a hook portion 56, and an engaging claw 57 is integrally provided on the attached portion 55. .

  The hook 54 is inserted into the lower insertion groove 53, for example, and the engagement claw 57 is engaged with the engagement hole 52 of the lower hook attachment portion 51, so that the hook 54 is attached to the front divided shelf 33A. Attach to the end. Further, when the front divided shelf 33A is installed in the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b or the divided shelf receiving portions 41a and 41b, the hook portion 56 of the hook 54 is replaced by the shelf receiving portions 40a and 40b or the divided shelf receiving portions 41a, 41b is positioned so as to be wrapped from the side.

Also in this case, the hook 54 can be replaced with the upper hook attaching portion 51.
