Refrigerator having basket lift apparatus

摘要

A refrigerator having a basket lift apparatus comprises: a body (10) having cooling chambers (14,18) for storing food; a basket (20) accommodated in the cooling chamber (18) arranged at a lower portion of the body (10) in a slidable manner; a lifting unit for lifting the basket (20) when the basket (20) is drawn out of the cooling chamber (18), and a damping unit (80) installed at the lifting unit, for absorbing an impact generated when the basket (20) lifted by the lifting unit is descended. When the basket (20) is descended, a damping force is generated thereby to absorb an impact due to a drastic descent of the basket (20).
