The following layback in the hole 19 on the ceiling part of storeroom 11 is established the drain pan 20 of double as airway, forms cooler chamber 21 above it.The bottom surface of drain pan 20 forms the gradient that (rear side of Fig. 1) reduces towards the edge, the inside, and the regional opening of front side forms suction inlet 22, and inside the edge side otch forms blow-off outlet 23.
The box fan 26 of equipping cooler 25 and facing in the cooler chamber 21 with suction inlet 22.Circulation is connected the above-mentioned refrigerating plant 15 of cooler 25 usefulness with refrigerant piping, constitutes known freeze cycle.
And, driving box internal fan 26 in running refrigerating plant 15 (compressor 15), then the room air of storeroom 11 attracted in the cooling chamber 21 from suction inlet 22, and this air generates cold air by heat exchange during being flowing in cooler 25.11 the inside blows out this cold air from blow-off outlet 23 along storeroom, and the circulation cool-air feed cools off in storeroom 11.
Have again, be accompanied by the running of compressor 16, condenser fan 17A also turns round, extraneous gas is inhaled into from the air entry (not shown) of the front panel 14A that is located at Machine Room 14, by condenser 17 and even compressor 16, thereby, supply with cooled used heat and discharge to rear side from the exhaust outlet 28 of the rear board 14B that is located at Machine Room 14 with extraneous gas cooling.Exhaust outlet 28 is a plurality of slits to be arranged in length and breadth form, and the central portion of plate 14B forms than becoming horizontal last square configuration as a whole in the wide zone in the back.
On the other hand, in order to remove attached to the frost on cooler 25 grades, running suitably defrosts.The defrosting running is by Defrost heater (not shown) the energising heating cooler 25 that is equipped on the cooler 25 is carried out, lysed defrost water is accepted with drain pan 20, afterwards at length as described later, be imported into the vaporising device 40 of the back side 10A side of being located at refrigerator main body 10 and stockpile, thereby and make its forced evaporation and discharge by and then heating.
Then, the structure that sets part to vaporising device 40 describes.
At first, the structure to the water discharging part of the defrost water accepted with drain pan 20 describes.Drainpipe 30 is provided with towards the posture that has a down dip is outstanding slightly from the back edge of drain pan 20 and with front end.On the other hand, as shown in figure 15, on position, be embedded with plastic draining cylindrical shell 32 in the mode that runs through back face wall 11A corresponding to the rear of the drainpipe on the back face wall 11A of refrigerator main body 10 30, with regard to draining cylindrical shell 32, the steep slightly inclination attitude of wall drainpipe 30 is obtained down in the end that makes the outer side of case.The outstanding drainpipe 33 that is provided with from the end in the case of this draining cylindrical shell 32 outside.
Drainpipe 33 similarly is the low synthetic resin system of thermal conductivity factor, also as shown in Figure 5, forms flange 34 with the short rear position of size after leaning on slightly than the central authorities of length direction with the intersection posture that favours the right angle slightly.When drainpipe 33 makes flange 34 contact in the rotation posture of regulation on the 10A of the back side of refrigerator main body 10 rearward end is installed in with embedding on the dual tube 32A of portion of the end of a side outside the casing of draining cylindrical shell 21, at this moment, drainpipe 33 becomes the end posture down of the angle identical with draining cylindrical shell 32, and front end one side more forward than flange 34 is also more outstanding outside case than the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10.
The front end face of drainpipe 33 is closed, and this front end face forms and sees the roughly curved surface shape of semicircular in shape from above.Lower aperture at the leading section of this drainpipe 33 has circular discharge outlet 35.In addition, superincumbent discharge outlet 35 directly over the position upper shed the rounded discharge port 36 of same size is arranged.
Vaporising device 40 is probably made following structure: as Figure 13 and shown in Figure 15, prominent establishing at the discharge pipe 22 on the 10A of the back side of refrigerator main body 10 is provided with the evaporating dish 41 that stockpiles defrost water and make the defrost water forced evaporation by evaporation with heater 60 on the lower position partly, and the passage 85 that steam is upwards guided is installed above it, again they is covered with cover 105.
As shown in Figure 6, evaporating dish 41 is made of the main part 42 and the back side liner plate 48 that all are the metallic plate system of stainless-steel sheet.Evaporating dish 41 in completion status as Fig. 3, shown in Figure 7, form the box-shaped of the narrower top opening of transverse width broad and depth, but above main part 42 also increases on above-mentioned box-shaped, and form with the back side 10A opposing backside surface opening of refrigerator main body 10 shape.
Top edge at the surface 43 of main part 42 and the Left-Hand Panel 44A that observes from the back side forms the narrow flange 45 of outwardly-bent rectangular width, on the other hand, outwardly-bently in the same manner on the top edge of right panel 44B meet at right angles and form the wide installing plate of width 46.
Back side liner plate 48 is embedded at the back side of main part 42 upper sheds, and forms the flat ware shape that erects highly lower flange 49 in circumferential edges.The flange 49 of the upside from the back side liner plate 48 forms installing plate 50 up, this installing plate 50 and about and the edge of opening of the flange 49 of downside be positioned on the same level.The left part of seeing from the back side of installing plate 50 is also more outstanding than the left end edge of back side liner plate 48, form the patchhole 53 of screws 52 (Fig. 3) at both ends, the left and right sides, and on top edge keep right the position upper cut of end form above-mentioned drainpipe 33 embed dodge dodge recess 54.
As shown in Figure 7, back side liner plate 48 is embedded into the back side of the opening of main part 42.At this moment, about and the flange 49 of downside align with the edge of opening 42A at the back side of main part 42 and overlapping in the inboard.The flange 49 of upside is on the identical faces with left side flange 45 and installing plate 46 on the main part 42, and the ledge of the left end of installing plate 50 is in the state on the end edge of flange 45 that its foundation is placed on the left side.
And, about back side liner plate 48 and the edge of opening 42A at the back side of the flange 49 of the downside main part 42 after overlapping relatively fixing by welding, thereby the evaporating dish 41 of the box-shaped of opening above being shaped as mentioned above.At this moment, form roughly more shallow recess 55 on comprehensively at the back side of evaporating dish 41 and in the inboard of flange 49.
In evaporating dish 41, the immersion evaporation heater 60 that is made of heat dump is installed with the state that supports with carriage 65.Heat dump basic structure is to be inserted in the metal tube being rolled into spiral helicine heating line, recharge insulating powder, the evaporation of this embodiment uses heater 60 as Fig. 8 and shown in Figure 9, make following shape: promptly, 1 elongated rod partly is bent to form U word shape in central length, the setting that is arranged in parallel of two rods, have its half-way at length direction to bend to approximate right angle again, the front of vertical portion 61 is provided with transverse part 62.Vertical portion 61 has the length dimension bigger slightly than the degree of depth of evaporating dish 41 as shown in Figure 14 waits, and on the other hand, transverse part 62 is roughly the twice of vertical portion 61, and has the size than the short ormal weight of lengthwise dimension of the bottom surface of evaporating dish 41.
But vertical at this embodiment, evaporating dish is with only transverse part 62 is as heatable (with reference to the lattice portion of Figure 14) in the heater 60, and vertical portion 61 is as non-heating portion.Thus, with regard to vertical portion 61, make and remove the structure that heating line or metal tube are replaced into the pipe of non-heat conduction shape.
In addition, connect lead 63 respectively in the upper end, two places of vertical portion 61 and draw, molded (molded 64) carried out by moulded resin in its coupling part.
Thereby carriage 65 forms shape shown in Figure 10 by metallic plate is carried out drawing, and the regulation zone with right-hand member of the back side of blocking opening 41A above evaporating dish 41 seeing is for example, above the installation portion 66 of 1/5 degree of total length of opening 41A.Shaped flange 67 down on the end edge of the front of installation portion 66 side.In addition, can place L type fish plate 68 in the right-hand member side of installation portion 66, the right hand edge of the base plate 68A of this fish plate 68 also decurvation form flange 69.
Evaporation with heater 60 as shown in Figure 3, front end at transverse part 62 is vertical towards the posture in left side, two upper ends of vertical portion 61 are from the below is inserted into patchhole 70 (Figure 10) on the carriage 65, to evaporate with heater 60 from mated condition and to put in the evaporating dish 41, and carriage 65 by with flange 67 fastenings of the front of installation portion 66 on the end edge of the flange 45 of the front of evaporating dish 41, and the end edge of the inside of installation portion 66 is placed on the flange 49 of the inside, thus the right-hand member of opening 41A above covering.At this moment, evaporation contacts with the bottom surface of evaporating dish 41 with the transverse part 62 of heater 60.And, in flange 69 fastenings of fish plate 68 when fish plate 68 is placed on the right-hand member of installation portion 66 in the edge on the right, then owing to the parts that protrude in above the installation portion 66 that comprise molded 64 vertical portion 61 are bonded on the fish plate 68, so with being with 72 to tie and fix.Flange 69 fastenings of the bottom surface 68A of fish plate 68 on the right-hand member edge of the installing plate 46 of evaporating dish 41 in the right part of this base plate 68A and installation portion 66 overlapping on installing plate 46, fastening together fixing with screw 71.
By the above, vertical portion 61 was along hanging down from the inboard slightly of the being seen right flank in the back side of evaporating dish 41 and transverse part 62 is installed in the evaporating dish 41 in state of contact in the position range of the front slightly of right part to the left part of bottom surface when evaporation was supported with carriage 65 with the upper end of its vertical portion 61 with heater 60.
Thermostat 73 is installed on the forward end position of the transverse part 62 that evaporates a side who uses heater 60.This thermostat 73 has following function: promptly, directly detect the temperature of evaporation with the leading section of the transverse part 62 of heater 60, after the detected temperatures of this position reaches set point of temperature, then this position is from liberating the impregnation state that stockpiles water, think that promptly the residual volume that stockpiles water for a small amount of, stops the energising of evaporation with heater 60.The lead 74 of this thermostat 73 is drawn by the chimeric centre bore that is installed in the rubber bolt 75 on the installation portion 66 after 61 wirings of vertical portion upward from a side transverse part 62.
In addition, performance being installed on installation portion 66 stops evaporating standby thermostat 76 and the protection temperature fuse 77 with the function of heater 60 energisings.
On the other hand, integrally formed shield 80 on above-mentioned carriage 65.At length as Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, the Rack of the central portion on the left side edge of installation portion 66 zone promptly, can embed evaporating dish 41 above width regions in the opening 41A at right angles be bent to form the plate 79 that hangs down of short size, be bent to form above-mentioned shield 80 from the lower limb of this plate 79 that hangs down rearward to prolong the mode of coming out.This shield 80.This shield 80 has half length of Duoing slightly of length than installation portion 66, and forms with the downward slightly posture of front end.
In this wise, by carriage 65 evaporating dish 41 that evaporates with heater 60 being installed is installed on the back side of refrigerator 10.Evaporating dish 41 is for example as Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 13, makes the inclination attitude (inclination angle is 5 ° of degree) that lift in the left side seen from the back side, is connected on the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10 dodging of installing plate 50 embeds discharge pipe 33 and put on the recess 54 when.And, in the patchhole 53 at the both ends, the left and right sides of installing plate 50,, and by being fastened in the screwed hole of being located on the 10A of the back side 82, thereby evaporating dish 41 is installed with inclination attitude by screw 52.
Have again, the lead 63 that extracts with heater 60 upper ends from evaporation and the lead 74 of thermostat 73 etc. are inserted into inside from the insertion mouth 83 of 14 the rear board 14B opening in the Machine Room, and the connecting portion (not shown) of the electric mounting box interior with being equipped in Machine Room 14 is connected.
As mentioned above, when evaporating dish 41 was installed, then as shown in figure 14, the bottom surface of this evaporating dish 41 became upper left inclined plane, and evaporation also is in the transverse part 62 of heater 60 and obtains identical inclination attitude and be connected to state on the bottom surface.
Meanwhile, prolong out and the shield 80 that is is obtained the downward slightly posture of front end and set in the mode of position under the outlet 35 that covers drainpipe 33 from the left side edge of the installation portion 66 of carriage 65.
In addition, as shown in figure 15, rear side at evaporating dish 41, only the installing plate 50 of main part 42 and edge of opening 42A and the flange 49 around the inboard overlapping recess 55 of edge of opening 42A are connected on the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10, in other words, the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10 covers the opening surface of recess 55, forms the air layer A of adiabatic usefulness between the back side 10A of the back side of evaporating dish 41 and refrigerator main body 10.
The passage 85 that the steam of generation evaporating dish 41 in is carried out lifting lead is at length installed except the top position in the zone of the right-hand member of installation bracket 65 in the top position of opening 41A on the evaporating dish of installing like this 41.
Passage 85 is used metallic plate system, as shown in Figure 3, upper and lower surface opening, and be roughly foursquare flat square at that city backsight, its lower end can insert evaporating dish 41 top opening 41A installation in the left field of carriage 65 positions.
Stretch out as shown in figure 13 at the edge, the left and right sides of the backplate 86 of passage 85 and to form installing plate 87.Left and right installation board 87 excises specific length with lower end side respectively, so as to dodge evaporating dish 41 installing plate 50 the screw threads for fastening position and dodge carriage 65.
In addition, the lower limb of the lower edge specific surface plate 88 of backplate 86 is positioned at the top slightly, and with the angle at inclination angle of imitation evaporating dish 41 to the upper left inclination of seeing from the back side.And, seeing on the lower limb of this backplate 86 from the back side keep right the position upper cut of end form embed above-mentioned drainpipe 33 and dodge dodge recess 89.
Passage 85 is obtained vertical position, as shown in figure 13, will from the outstanding drainpipes 33 of the installing plate 50 of evaporating dish 41 embed and dodge during dodging recess 89 in its lower end insert road evaporating dish 41 above in the left field of carriage 65 of opening 41A, its back side is butt in the scope of the back side 10A of the installing plate 50 of evaporating dish 41, refrigerator main body 10.Have again, the lower limb of backplate 86 be placed on inboard flange 49 above.And, in the patchhole 92 of the upper end that is formed at left and right installation board 87, be connected with screw 91, and be screwed into by spiral and be located in the back side 10A upper screwed hole 93, thus stationary conduit 85.At this moment, the top arrival of passage 85 than the lower limb in the formation zone of the exhaust outlet 28 on the rear board 14B of Machine Room 14 slightly by under lower position.
On passage 85, install panel 95 on the opening.Top panel 95 has the size that roughly conforms to the top opening size of passage 85 as shown in figure 11, and the slit 96 on the fore-and-aft direction is provided with a plurality of along the left and right directions arrangement.Form downward installing plate 97 with sharp bend on the leading edge of plate 95 in the above, and form the small size plate 98 that erects with same sharp bend, form to the inboard from the top edge that erects plate 98 again and prolong the insertion plate 99 of coming out obliquely upward in back edge.Have again, the formation zone of the exhaust outlet 28 on the rear board 14B of Machine Room 14 just under the position on form and insert plate 99 insertable insertion grooves 100.
Top panel 95 erects plate 98 after being inserted in the insertion groove 100 when being connected on the inner face of the inboard of opening above the passage 85 inserting plate 99, and the installing plate 97 in front of this overlaps on the upper edge of surface plate 88 of passage 85 and fastening.And screw 101 is by in the insertion mouth 102 of the left and right sides of installing plate 97 opening, thereby and is screwed into by spiral in the threaded hole 103 on the correspondence position of upper edge of the surface plate 88 of being located at passage 85 and is fixed.At this moment, above face 95 the inside edge side downward inclination attitude as shown in figure 15, and be in state in the top opening of edge, the inside admission passage 85.
Cover 105 is metal systems, as Fig. 4, shown in Figure 15, is the shape that the flat ware of the direction of rear side opening erects, and can cover the almost whole of above-mentioned evaporating dish 41 and passage 85.From cover 105 about and the edge of opening of downside form installing plate 106 respectively with stretching out, and in the above plate 107 upper cuts form that the upper edge of passage 85 embeds and dodge dodge recess 108.
And, cover 105 fixes in the following manner: promptly, dodging the top edge that is embedded with passage 85 on the recess 108, butt in from the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10 to the scope of the lower limb of rear board 14B, thus be screwed into fixed cover 105 in the screwed hole 112 of correspondence position of back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10 by screw 110 spirals at the patchhole 111 of each installing plate 106 upper shed.Thus, the patchhole 83 usefulness cover 105 of the almost whole and lead 63 of evaporating dish 41, passage 85 etc. covers, and on the other hand, the top panel 95 of passage 85 is in the state that opens wide up.
Then, the effect to present embodiment describes.
In refrigerator work, the running if defrost, flow out from the drainpipe 30 of inboard and draining cylindrical shell 32, drainpipe 33 after then accepting with drain pan 20, flow down from discharge outlet 35 again in the lower aperture of drainpipe 33 front from the defrost water of cooler 25 grades.Owing on the positive upper/lower positions of discharge outlet 35, be furnished with shield 80 with front end posture down, so the defrost water that flows down from discharge outlet 35 shown in the arrow X of Figure 14, is mainly dripped and is stockpiled bottom at evaporating dish 41 from its front end after accepting with shield 80.Because evaporating dish 41 is installed with the posture that tilts, so so that dark more mode stockpiles to the right side more.
Meanwhile, evaporation is switched on heater 60, the water (defrost water) that stockpiles that stockpiles in evaporating dish 41 is heated also forced evaporation, and steam rises.Here, especially the steam that rises from the position corresponding to the below of drainpipe 33 might flow into cooler chamber 21 sides from drainpipe 33, but owing to below discharge outlet 35, be furnished with shield 80 as mentioned above, so shown in the arrow Y of Figure 14, steam crested plate 80 covers and is driven away the left of drainpipe 33, and the steam that rises with the left sides in evaporating dish 41 rises in passage 85, discharges upward by the slit 96 of top panel 95.Even the part of steam is back to the below of drainpipe 33 and flows into from discharge outlet 35, because the position upper shed of just going up in discharge outlet 35 is provided with discharge port 36, so shown in the arrow Z of Figure 15, flow into the steam of coming in from discharge outlet 36 and continue to rise and discharges upward, rising and passage 85 in similarly from slit 96 discharges from discharge port 36.Thus, place steam more reliably from drainpipe 33 adverse currents.
Have again, the part of the steam that ejects above passage 85 is by contacting and dewfall with the rear board 14B of Machine Room 14, this dew might flow down along this rear board 14B, but dew is accepted with insertion plate 99 and is flowed on the top panel 95 of passage 85, and profiling its be tilted to inboard flowing, stockpile once more in evaporating dish 41 from slit 96 and edges at two ends, be used for evaporation.
When the defrosting running finishes, then begin to cool down running once more, but condenser fan 17A running this moment, cooling sucks cooler condenser 17 and even compressor 16 with extraneous gas from the front side, and the exhaust outlet 28 of the used heat that is used to cool off rear board 14B of 14 from the Machine Room is discharged to rear side.Thus, the steam that ejects upward from the top panel 95 of passage 85 with the low concentration diffusion, has the occasion of wall in the room in kitchen etc. owing to be subjected to used heat nearby, also can avoid avoiding concentrating a large amount of steam and dewfall due to contacting at this.
At evaporation heater 60 fb durs, evaporating dish 41 self also is heated and heats up, but the perisporium (the edge of opening 42A of flange 49, main part 42) of the thin-walled around the only recess 55 at the back side of evaporating dish 41 is connected on the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10, we can say and not only be in toe-in pencil attitude, and by being provided with above-mentioned recess 55, thereby and the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10 between form air layer A and play a role as heat insulation layer, so the heat of evaporating dish 41 is difficult to pass in the case.Thus, can prevent unnecessarily temperature rising in the case, otherwise in addition, also can suppress evaporating dish 41 temperature and reduce, reduce so also can prevent to stockpile the evaporation of water ability.
When evaporation is carried out, the water level that then stockpiles water reduces gradually, but because evaporating dish 41 is installed with upper left posture, so always be in the most shallow state of left side one end, therefore, when evaporating again, then from evaporation with the front of the transverse part 62 of heater 60 successively to stockpiling the impregnation state liberation of water, carry out the temperature rising rapidly.After thermostat 73 detects set point of temperature, think that then the surplus that stockpiles water for a small amount of, stops the energising of evaporation with heater 60.Promote the left evaporation of water that stockpiles by the waste heat that evaporates with heater 60 after this a little while.
In this wise, because evaporating dish 41 is installed with inclination attitude,, stockpile the result that the withered position of water is offset from left to right gradually so obtain at its base plate.For example place right bank or little ladder are being set, refrigerator can only also can obtain identical effect with the occasion of the posture setting of seeing upper right slightly inclination from rear side.And, the place of the close extreme higher position in its bottom more specifically, at first detect to the evaporation of the impregnation state liberation that stockpiles water temperature with the front of the transverse part 62 of heater 60, cut off evaporation heater 60, so most transverse part 62 stops heating under impregnated in the state that stockpiles in the water, suppress so-called dry combustion method as far as possible.
In the occasion of cleaning in the evaporating dish 41, take off cover 105 and passage 85 after by the screw 52 of loosening, thereby take off evaporating dish 41.Thereafter, when taking off carriage 65 together and evaporating, then because the inside of evaporating dish 41 is in the state of top opening, so can wash cleaning inside until each corner with heater 60.About covering 105 and passage 85, take off similarly and also can wash.
The effect of present embodiment is as follows.Carry out fb dur in evaporation with heater 60, evaporating dish 41 self also is heated and heats up, but the back side of the evaporating dish 41 only perisporium (the edge of opening 42A of flange 49, main part 42) of recess 55 thin-walled on every side is connected on the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10, can be described as and be in the line contact condition, and by above-mentioned recess 55 is set, thereby and the back side 10A of refrigerator main body 10 between form air layer A and as heat insulation layer performance function, so the heat of evaporating dish 41 is difficult to be delivered in the case.Thus, can prevent unnecessarily temperature rising in the case, in addition, otherwise, reduce so also can prevent to stockpile the evaporation of water ability owing to also can suppress the reduction of evaporating dish 41 temperature.
Evaporating dish 41 is by forming with solder joints main part 42 and back side liner plate 48, liner plate 48 dual-purposes in the back side form recess 55, and make the shape that is provided with at the crooked rectangular flange 49 of circumferential edges, this flange 49 is embedded on the edge of opening 42A at the back side of main parts 42 and weld, so compare with the structure of the flat board that does not have flange 49, carry out the location of back side liner plate 48 easily, can successfully carry out ensuing weld job, and can carry out the manufacturing of evaporating dish 41 with the short time.
Have, the invention is not restricted to the embodiment that is illustrated by above-mentioned statement and accompanying drawing, for example following embodiment is also contained in the technical scope of the present invention.
(1) about the recess of the rear side of being located at evaporating dish, on being not limited to that above-mentioned embodiment is illustrated and being located at almost comprehensively, even less area is because it is effective to thermal insulation to form the air layer that matches, so this structure is also contained in the technical scope of the present invention.
(2) vaporising device is not limited to only be located at the back side of the illustrated refrigerator of above-mentioned embodiment, the side about can also being located at.
(3) as stockpiling the heating arrangements that evaporation of water is used, be not limited to the illustrated immersion heater of above-mentioned embodiment, can also be other mechanism of the hot gases tube that extracts at the line heater of the outer bottom wiring of evaporating dish or from refrigerating plant etc.
