REFRIGERATOR
First Claim
1. A refrigerator comprising:
- a main body;
a storage chamber provided inside the main body such that a front surface is open;
a storage box received in the storage chamber and inserted and drawn by sliding;
a sliding shelf combined with a lower portion of the storage box and configured to guide the storage box to be inserted and drawn; and
a combining unit provided at both sidewalls of the storage chamber to be combined with the sliding shelf,wherein the sliding shelf includes;
a sliding part combined with the lower portion of the storage box;
a cover rail combined with the combining unit and configured to guide the storage box to be inserted and drawn by sliding;
a slide rail provided at the sliding part to slide along the cover rail; and
a self-closing unit combined with the sliding part, configured to accumulate an elastic force when the storage box is drawn and transfer the elastic force in a direction in which the storage box is inserted when the storage box is inserted, and provided with an oil damper which absorbs a shock which is generated by the elastic force when the storage box is inserted.

Abstract
A refrigerator in which a storage box can be sufficiently drawn by placing a sliding shelf at the bottom of the storage box, and the storage box is easily inserted when it is inserted into inside the storage chamber, and less noise is generated, is provided. The refrigerator includes a storage box received in a storage chamber and inserted and drawn by sliding, a sliding shelf combined with a lower portion of the storage box and configured to guide the storage box to be inserted and drawn, and a combining unit provided at both sidewalls of the storage chamber to be combined with the sliding shelf, and the sliding shelf includes a sliding part combined with the lower portion of the storage box, a cover rail combined with the combining unit and guiding the storage box to be inserted and drawn by sliding, a slide rail provided at the sliding part to slide along the cover rail, and a self-closing unit combined with the sliding part, configured to accumulate an elastic force when the storage box is drawn and transfer the elastic force in a direction in which the storage box is inserted into the storage chamber when the storage box is inserted, and provided with an oil damper which absorbs a shock, which is generated by the elastic force when the storage box is inserted, is provided.

19. A refrigerator comprising:
-
a main body; a storage chamber provided inside the main body such that a front surface is open; a storage box received in the storage chamber; a cover rail combined with both sidewalls of the storage chamber and configured to guide the storage box to be inserted and drawn by sliding; a slide unit combined with a lower portion of the storage box to slide along the cover rail; and a self-closing unit which is combined with the slide unit and configured to transfer an elastic force in a direction in which the storage box is inserted into the storage chamber, wherein the self-closing unit includes; an elastic unit which accumulates an elastic force when the storage box is drawn; and an oil damper which accumulates a damping force when the elastic unit accumulates the elastic force, wherein the accumulated elastic force and damping force act on the storage box at the same time when the storage box is inserted such that the storage box is inserted by the elastic force and a shock, which is generated on the storage box when the storage box is inserted, is absorbed by the damping force. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A refrigerator comprising:
-
a main body; a storage chamber provided inside the main body such that a front surface is open; a storage box received in the storage chamber; a cover rail combined with both sidewalls of the storage chamber and configured to guide the storage box to be inserted and drawn by sliding, and in which a locking member is provided; a slide unit combined with a lower portion of the storage box to slide along the cover rail; an elastic unit which is combined with the slide unit, and in which a locking groove, which is locked to the locking member when the storage box is inserted or drawn, is provided to accumulate an elastic force when the locking member is locked to the locking groove while the storage box is drawn, and transfer the elastic force to the storage box when the locking member is locked to the locking groove while the storage box is inserted; and an oil damper, which accumulates a damping force when the elastic unit accumulates the elastic force and absorbs a shock, which is generated on the storage box by the elastic force, using the accumulated damping force when the elastic unit transfers the elastic force to the storage box.
