Provided is a refrigerator having an opening/closing device with an improved structure which allows a storage box to be automatically inserted and withdrawn according to the opening and closing of a door and allows the storage box to be further pushed backward while the door is closed,

The refrigerator includes a main body, a storage chamber having a front side that is open, and provided at an inside with a storage box that is movable in a front-rear direction, a door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close the storage chamber, and provided at a rear surface with a pusher that protrudes in a direction toward the storage chamber, and an opening and closing device provided at one side of the storage box, and formed to allow the storage box to be moved in the front and rear direction according to the opening and closing of the door, wherein the opening and closing device includes a rack gear configured to move in a front and rear direction according to the opening and closing of the door, a locking member rotatably coupled to the rack gear to be locked with and released from the storage box, the locking member configured to move in the front and rear direction together with the rack gear, and a catcher configured to rotate to be caught with and released from the pusher according to the opening and closing of the door, wherein the catcher is rotated to be caught with the pusher when the door is a closed state to push the rack gear such that the rack gear is moved backward.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet including an inner case, and a drawer assembly installed in the inner case. The drawer assembly includes a basket which forms a receiving space and can be pulled in and out of the inner case, a supporter assembly connected to the basket to guide an insertion or withdrawal of the basket, and a cover connected to the supporter assembly to cover or uncover the receiving space. The cover may be movable in a direction opposite to a movement of the basket when the basket is inserted or withdrawn. The basket includes a protrusion configured to engage with or disengage from a notch of a connection member to facilitate or prevent transmission of a movement force of the basket to the cover.

An engagement assembly, a drawer, and a refrigerator having same. The engagement assembly comprises a first engagement part matching the drawer and a second engagement part matching a refrigerator body; one of the first and second engagement parts is a gear, and the other one is a rack; the rack has a tooth surface that allows the gear to travel; the rack comprises a main rack and an extension rack; when the drawer is in a closed state, the tooth surface has a first stroke length; when the drawer is in an opening process, the extension rack moves to a travel path of the gear so that the tooth surface has a second stroke length; when the drawer is in a closing process, the extension rack is reset; the first stroke length is smaller than the second stroke length. The length of the tooth surface increases in the opening process.
