Detailed Description

A first aspect of the present invention is a refrigerator including a storage compartment having an opening and a pair of heat-insulating doors provided in the opening, the pair of heat-insulating doors being split doors, and the heat-insulating doors being provided on side surfaces facing each other: mounting a guide member; a sealing member for sealing the storage by being in close contact with each other when the heat insulating doors are closed; and a cap that prevents removal of the closing member, an upper surface of the cap being at substantially the same height as an upper surface or a lower surface of each of the heat insulation doors.

Thus, the cap does not protrude from the upper surface of the heat insulating door, and the entire upper surface of the heat insulating door is flat.

Therefore, the appearance of the refrigerator can be improved.

The invention according to claim 2 is a refrigerator characterized in that the caps are fixed to the surfaces of the heat insulation doors on the opening portion sides by fixing members.

Thus, the cap is attached and detached using a tool or the like.

Therefore, the cap can be prevented from falling off during normal use and maintenance work of the refrigerator.

The invention according to claim 3 is a refrigerator characterized in that the closing member is slidably attached to the attachment guide member.

Thus, the closing member is fixed to the mounting guide member without using a fixing member, a tool, or the like.

Therefore, the number of components of the refrigerator can be reduced, and the manufacturing and maintenance work can be easily performed.

Conventionally, a refrigerator having a storage and a pair of heat-insulating doors as split doors is known. A gasket and a cover member covering the attachment member are provided on the side surface of each of the heat-insulating doors of the refrigerator via the attachment member, the gasket and the cover member being in close contact with each other when the heat-insulating doors are closed.

The gasket and the cover member are coupled to each other by inserting the gasket slidably into a groove provided in the cover member. Therefore, when maintenance or the like is performed, the pad and the cover member are likely to slide in the vertical direction (see, for example, patent document 1).

However, since the pad and the cover member are inserted and coupled to each other in a sliding manner, a gap is formed between the pad and the cover member, and dust, dirt, or the like may accumulate in the gap.

The invention aims to provide a refrigeration house capable of inhibiting the adhesion of dust, dirt and the like.

The present invention in its 4 th aspect is a refrigerator including a storage room having an opening and a pair of heat-insulating doors provided in the opening, the pair of heat-insulating doors being split doors, and the heat-insulating doors being provided on side surfaces facing each other with: mounting a guide member; a sealing member for sealing the storage by being in close contact with each other when the heat insulating doors are closed; and a cap that prevents removal of the closing member, the closing member being formed by integrally molding the pad and the cover member that covers the attachment guide member.

Thus, the closing member is formed without providing a gap between the gasket and the cover member.

Therefore, accumulation of dust, dirt, and the like between the side pad and the cover member can be suppressed.

The invention according to claim 5 is a refrigerator characterized in that the closing member is slidably attached to the attachment guide member.

The invention according to claim 6 is a refrigerator characterized in that the spacer is made of a soft material and the cover member is made of a hard material.

Thus, the closing member formed by integrally molding the gasket and the cover member has a soft portion and a hard portion.

Therefore, the sealing member can have a predetermined strength and seal the space between the side surfaces of the heat insulating door.

A locking portion 24F is provided on the front surface side of the heat insulation door 4 to which the guide member 24 is attached. The locking portion 24F is provided to protrude from the bottom surface 24A toward the side surface of the other heat insulation door 4, similarly to the gasket guide groove 24C, and the tip of the locking portion 24F is bent in a claw shape. The locking portion 24F is inserted into a locking groove 30C of a cover member 30 described later.

Next, the closing member 26 will be explained.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing one end side of the closing member 26. In fig. 5, for convenience of explanation, points are given to the side pads 28 and the fin members 32 made of a soft material.

As shown in fig. 3 and 5, the closing member 26 includes a side pad 28, a cover member 30, and a fin member 32, and the closing member 26 is formed by integrally molding these members. The closing member 26 has a length similar to that of the mounting guide member 24, and is a rail-shaped member formed so that its cross section is shaped like コ, and the closing member 26 is mounted so as to extend in the vertical direction along the vertical direction of the heat insulating door 4.

The side surface packing 28 constitutes a part of the closing member 26 on the storage container 2 side, and the side surface packing 28 is formed of a soft resin such as rubber as a soft material. The side surface spacer 28 is formed in an L-shape in cross section, and a side surface magnet housing portion 28A partitioned to form a space having a rectangular cross section is provided at a portion corresponding to a corner of the L-shape.

A rod-shaped side magnet 34 is inserted through the side magnet housing 28A.

The side magnet housing portion 28A housing the side magnet 34 is closed at both ends by retaining members 35. The retaining member 35 is a plate-like member formed by bending so that its cross section has an L-shape. The insertion portion 35A, which is one end of the retaining member 35, is inserted into each end of the side magnet housing portion 28A in the vertical direction, and the retaining member 35 is attached to the side spacer 28, thereby preventing the side magnet 34 from being removed.

The 1 st sealing portion 28B is provided on the storage 2 side of the side magnet housing portion 28A. The 1 st seal portion 28B extends toward the outer edge gasket 20 side, and a 2 nd seal portion 28C is provided at a tip end of the 1 st seal portion 28B.

Further, the distal end portion 28C1 of the 2 nd sealing portion 28C extends to the same position as the surface of the side magnet housing portion 28A on the other heat insulation door 4 side.

The length of the 2 nd seal portion 28C in the vertical direction is shorter than the length of the side surface gasket 28 in the vertical direction, and is approximately the same as the length of the door inner panel 14 in the vertical direction.

Further, a fin portion 28D is provided on the outer edge gasket 20 side of the 1 st seal portion 28B. The fin portion 28D is formed in a flexible thin plate shape extending toward the outer edge packing 20 side, and the distal end side becomes a free end. The tip of the fin portion 28D abuts the outer edge pad 20.

A coupling portion 28E is provided on the front surface side of the heat insulating door 4 of the side magnet housing portion 28A. The coupling portion 28E is formed in a flexible thin plate shape extending toward the front surface side of the heat insulating door 4, and the tip of the coupling portion 28E is coupled to the bottom surface 30A of the cover member 30.

The extension 28F extends from the side surface side of the heat insulation door 4 of the side magnet housing 28A toward the side surface of the heat insulation door 4, and then extends toward the front surface of the heat insulation door 4. That is, the extension 28F is formed in an L-shaped cross section. Further, a through insertion portion 28F1 having a T-shaped cross section is provided at the tip of the extension portion 28F. As described above, the insertion portion 28F1 is inserted into the pad guide groove 24C.

Next, the cover member 30 will be described.

The cover member 30 is formed of a hard resin as a hard material. The cover member 30 has an コ -shaped cross section, and the coupling portion 28E of the side surface packing 28 is coupled to the end of the bottom surface 30A of the cover member 30 on the storage container 2 side, as described above.

A cover member engaging piece 30B is provided at an end of the bottom surface 30A of the cover member 30 on the storage 2 side. The cover member engaging piece 30B protrudes toward the side surface of the heat insulating door 4, and the tip of the cover member engaging piece 30B is formed in a claw shape. As described above, the cover member engaging piece 30B engages with the holding portion engaging piece 24E.

Further, the cover member engaging piece 30B is provided with a rib 30B 1. The rib 30B1 protrudes toward the storage container 2 side, and the rib 30B1 closes the open portion of the heater holding portion 24D holding the heater 36.

A locking groove 30C is provided in the bottom surface 30A of the cover member 30 at an end located on the front surface side of the heat insulation door 4. The locking groove 30C protrudes toward the side surface of the heat insulation door 4, and a portion of the locking groove 30C located on the side surface side of the heat insulation door 4 is opened. As described above, the locking portion 24F is inserted through the locking groove 30C.

A fin member 32 is integrally provided at a distal end of the locking groove 30C on the front surface side of the heat insulation door 4. The fin member 32 is made of a soft resin such as rubber, which is a soft material, and has flexibility, similarly to the side surface spacer 28. The fin members 32 are formed in a thin plate shape having a free end at the distal end side, and extend toward the side surface of the heat insulating door 4, and the distal ends of the fin members 32 are in contact with the side surface of the heat insulating door 4.

Further, a linear heater 36 is interposed between the mounting guide member 24 and the closing member 26. The heater 36 heats the closing member 26 to suppress the occurrence of condensation and freezing, and the heater 36 is disposed annularly over the entire vertical direction of the side surface of the heat insulating door 4. Further, as described above, the heater 36 is sandwiched between the heater holding portion 24D, and the open portion of the heater holding portion 24D is closed by the rib 30B1, whereby the heater 36 is fixed between the attachment guide member 24 and the closing member 26.

Next, the cap 38 will be explained. Hereinafter, one cap 38 will be described, but the other cap 38 may have the same structure.

Fig. 6 (a) is an exploded perspective view of the cap 38 and the upper surface of the heat insulation door 4, and fig. 6 (B) is a perspective view of the upper surface of the heat insulation door.

Both ends in the up-down direction of the mounting guide member 24 and the closing member 26 are closed by caps 38. As shown in fig. 3 and 6, the cap 38 is a flat plate member formed in an L shape in plan view, and one end of the cap 38 extends in the short side direction of the side surface of the heat insulating door 4. The other end of the cap 38 extends around the outer edge of the rear surface of the heat insulating door 4 and along the outer edge and the upper surface of the outer edge gasket 20.

A pair of insertion portions 38A projecting downward are provided on the back surface of the cap 38. The insertion portion 38A is inserted into a space surrounded by the mounting guide member 24 and the closing member 26. Specifically, one insertion portion 38A is inserted along the inside of the bottom surface 24A of the attachment guide member 24, and the other insertion portion 38A is inserted along the inside of the bottom surface 30A of the cover member 30. This prevents dust and dirt from entering between the mounting guide member 24 and the closing member 26, and also covers and protects the heater 36.

A screw fastening hole 38C is provided at the tip of the cap 38 on the other end side. Further, screw holes 12B are provided in the outer edge of the rear surface of the heat insulating door 4. The screw fixing hole 38C and the screw hole 12B are screwed by a screw 40, and thereby the cap 38 is fixed to the heat insulating door 4.

In a conventional refrigerator, there is a structure in which a user can easily detach a side surface gasket and a cover member. In such a refrigerator, when maintenance, cleaning, or the like is performed, the side surface gasket and the cover member may be detached to damage the side surface gasket and the cover member or may be mixed into the goods in the refrigerator.

In the present embodiment, the cap 38 is fixed by using a fixing member such as the screw 40, and thus, the cap 38 can be prevented from coming off when the refrigerator 1 is normally used or during maintenance work. Therefore, the cap 38 can be prevented from being lost or mixed into the commodity in the storage compartment.

Further, the blocking member 26 can be prevented from sliding in the vertical direction, and the blocking member 26 can be prevented from coming off the attachment guide member 24.

Further, by screwing the cap 38 to the outer edge side of the rear surface of the heat insulating door 4, the screw 40 is disposed at a position not visible from the front surface of the refrigerator 1 when each heat insulating door 4 is closed, and the appearance of the refrigerator 1 can be improved.

The upper surface 38B of the cap 38 attached to the heat insulation door 4 is at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the heat insulation door 4.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

First, a procedure of attaching the closing member 26 to the attachment guide member 24 will be described.

First, the heater 36 is sandwiched between the heater holding portions 24D. Next, one end of the closing member 26 is inserted into one end of the mounting guide member 24 while sliding in the vertical direction, whereby the closing member 26 is fixed to the mounting guide member 24.

Thus, the closing member 26 is fixed to the attachment guide member 24 without using a fixing member, a tool, or the like. Therefore, the number of components of the refrigerator 1 can be reduced, and the manufacturing and maintenance work of the refrigerator can be easily performed.

When the pair of heat insulating doors 4 of the refrigerator 1 is closed, the outer edge magnet 22 is magnetically attracted to the storage 2, and the portions of the outer edge gasket 20 along the side surface of the heat insulating door 4 on the hinge 8 side and the upper and lower surfaces of the heat insulating door 4 are in close contact with the storage 2.

The side magnets 34 of the closing members 26 of the heat insulation doors 4 attract each other by magnetic force. Thereby, the extension portions 28F and the coupling portions 28E extend toward the side surface of the other heat insulation door 4. Further, the housing portion side surfaces 28A1 of the side magnet housing portions 28A located on the other heat insulation door 4 side are in close contact with each other, thereby closing the side surfaces of the heat insulation doors 4.

When the receiving portion side surfaces 28a1 are in close contact with each other, the distal end portions 28C1 of the respective 2 nd seal portions 28C abut against each other. Thereby, a space S1 surrounded by the 1 st seal 28B and the 2 nd seal 28C is formed. The air in the space S1 functions as a heat insulating air layer, and suppresses the intrusion of heat into the storage compartment from the gap between the side liners 28 and the leakage of cold air from the storage compartment.

Further, a space S2 surrounded by the attachment guide member 24, the extension portion 28F, the 1 st sealing portion 28B, the fin portion 28D, and the outer edge packing 20 is formed on the side surface of each heat insulation door 4. The air in the space S2 also functions as a heat insulating air layer.

As described above, the fin member 32 abuts against the side surface of the heat insulating door 4. The heat insulating air layer and the fin member 32 suppress heat from entering the storage compartment from between the side surface of the heat insulating door 4 and the mounting guide member 24, and suppress cold air from leaking from the storage compartment.

Since the closing member 26 is formed by integrally molding the side surface gasket 28 formed of a soft resin and the cover member 30 formed of a hard resin, the closing member 26 can have a predetermined strength and can close the space between the side surfaces of the heat insulating door 4. Further, accumulation of dust, dirt, and the like between the side surface pad 28 and the cover member 30 can be suppressed.

Further, when performing maintenance, cleaning, or the like, the user does not need to separately detach the side surface pad 28 and the cover member 30, and can suppress damage or detachment of the side surface pad 28 and the cover member 30.

Further, it is not necessary to provide a structure or a mechanism for coupling the side surface gasket 28 and the cover member 30, and the sealing member 26 can be made smaller, and the heat insulating door 4 can be made thinner and lighter.

As described above, the upper surface 38B of the cap 38 attached to the heat insulation door 4 is at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the heat insulation door 4.

This prevents the cap 38 from protruding from the upper surface of the heat insulating door 4, and the entire upper surface of the heat insulating door 4 becomes flat. Therefore, the appearance of the refrigerator 1 can be improved.

According to the above embodiment, the following effects are obtained.

The refrigerator 1 of the present embodiment includes a storage 2 provided with an opening and a pair of heat insulating doors 4 provided in the opening. These heat insulation doors 4 are split doors, and the mounting guide member 24, the closing member 26, and the pair of caps 38 are provided on the mutually facing side surfaces of each heat insulation door 4. The upper surface 38B of the caps 38 and the upper surface or the lower surface of each of the heat insulation doors 4 are configured to be at substantially the same height.

Further, according to the present embodiment, each cap 38 is configured to be fixed to the outer edge of the rear surface side of each heat insulating door 4 by a screw as a fixing member. This can prevent the cap 38 from coming off during normal use and maintenance work of the refrigerator 1. When the heat insulating doors 4 are closed, the screws 40 are disposed at positions that are not visible from the front of the refrigerator 1, and the appearance of the refrigerator 1 can be improved.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the closing member 26 is slidably attached to the attachment guide member 24. Thus, the user can fix the closing member 26 to the attachment guide member 24 without using a fixing member, a tool, or the like.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the closing member 26 is formed by integrally molding the side surface pad 28 and the cover member 30 covering the attachment guide member 24.

This can prevent dust, dirt, and the like from accumulating between the side surface pad 28 and the cover member 30.

In addition, when performing maintenance, cleaning, or the like, the user does not need to separately detach the side surface pad 28 and the cover member 30, and can suppress damage or detachment of the side surface pad 28 and the cover member 30.

In the present embodiment, the side surface pad 28 is formed of a soft material, and the cover member 30 is formed of a hard material. This can provide the sealing member 26 with a predetermined strength and seal the space between the side surfaces of the heat insulating door 4.

The above embodiment exemplifies one embodiment of the present invention, and can be arbitrarily modified and applied without departing from the scope of the present invention.

For example, in the present embodiment, the refrigerator 1 is a double-door type under-floor type refrigerator, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be applied to refrigerators having different door numbers, such as a 4-door vertical type refrigerator.
