The embodiment relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator according to one embodiment includes: a cabinet in which a storage chamber is formed; a door that is connected to the cabinet and opens and closes the storage chamber; a receiving member that is mounted in the door and receives foods; a guide unit that guides an up and down movement of the receiving member in a state where the receiving member is mounted in the door; and a fixing unit that fixes a position at which the receiving member is moved.

Refrigerator

Provided is a refrigerator including a height-adjustable receiving apparatus in which a rotation gear is vertically moved along a fixed shaft disposed on a mounting member when the rotation gear disposed on a receiving member is rotated, and the receiving member is adjustable in vertical height. The height-adjustable receiving apparatus includes a receiving member in which foods are received, a mounting member on which the receiving member is vertically movably mounted, a fixed shaft longitudinally disposed on the mounting member, a rotation gear disposed on the receiving member, an operation member disposed on the receiving member, and a transmission member disposed on the receiving member.

Refrigerator with height-adjustable receiving apparatus

Provided are a refrigerator and a refrigerator shelf apparatus configured with a shelf detachably mounted to a drive unit, and the drive unit capable of driving the shelf upward and downward according to electronic controlling by a controller provided on the shelf.

A rotary compressor having two different compression capacities is provided. The rotary compressor may include a driving shaft that is rotatable in both a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, and having an eccentric portion at an end thereof. The compressor may also include cylinder having a predetermined inner volume, and a roller rotatably installed on an outer circumferential portion of the eccentric portion so as to contact an inner circumference of the cylinder and form a fluid chamber therebetween. A vane is elastically installed in the cylinder and contacts the roller, and upper and lower bearings are respectively installed at upper and lower portions of the cylinder so as to rotatably support the driving shaft and hermetically seal the inner volume of the cylinder. Suction and discharge ports communicate with the fluid chamber based on a rotational direction of the driving shaft so as to provide a different compression capacity depending on the rotational direction of the driving shaft.

Variable capacity rotary compressor

A rotary compressor that has two compression capacities is provided. The rotary compressor includes a driving shaft having an eccentric portion and being rotatable in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, a cylinder having a predetermined inner volume, and a roller rotatably installed on an outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion so as to contact an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder. The roller performs a rolling motion along the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and forms a fluid chamber therewith. A vane is elastically installed in the cylinder, contacting the roller, and upper and lower bearings are respectively installed at upper and lower portions of the cylinder to rotatably support the driving shaft and hermetically seal the inner volume of the cylinder. A compression mechanism forms different sizes of compressive spaces in the fluid chamber based on a rotational direction of the driving shaft.
