Description

Refrigerator

The present invention relates to refrigerating chamber is configured in the so-called bottom cooled refrigerator of foot in the body of thermal insulating box, relate in particular to the package assembly of cooler circumferential component.

In the household electric refrigerator, normally refrigerating chamber is configured in middle level or upper strata, in recent years, also developed refrigerating chamber be configured in lower floor, the so-called bottom cooled refrigerator of middle level as vegetable compartment.In this case, in refrigerator, cooler and circumferential component thereof (the cold air circulation mechanism that is made of fan assembly, cool-air feed pipe, retaining device etc.) can be provided in the backing face portion (inner face side of interior case) of refrigerating chamber.But, for above-mentioned bottom cooled refrigerator, because in the rear side bottom of body, the Machine Room that compressor etc. is housed is being set, so, must be with the equipping position of cooler and fan assembly etc. correspondingly toward the top changing of the relative positions.Therefore, must cooler and fan assembly etc. be set at the height place of crossing over the adiabatic partition wall of separating vegetable compartment and refrigerating chamber up and down up and down.

Therefore, in the cooled refrigerator of existing bottom, for example disclose as Japanese kokai publication hei 8-247638 communique, the adiabatic partition wall of separating vegetable compartment and refrigerating chamber is divided into front and back two parts, be installed in the 1st partition wall of toe lateral wherein on the body of thermal insulating box in advance, the space segment that utilizes the 2nd partition wall not install as yet and vacate carries out the assembling operation of cooler and circumferential component thereof.Then, the 2nd partition wall of rear portion side is installed, is constituted whole adiabatic partition wall.

Because the temperature of vegetable compartment and refrigerating chamber is very different, so require sealing highly between the circumference of the adiabatic partition wall that their are separated and the body of thermal insulating box internal face.But, above-mentioned spy opens in the technology of flat 8-247638 communique announcement, though the 1st partition wall in the adiabatic partition wall, can when the foamed thermal insulating foaming of body of thermal insulating box, install in advance, thereby can obtain connecting airtight property of height and anchorage between the 1st partition wall side edge part and the body of thermal insulating box (interior case) by means of foaming, but, because the 2nd partition wall is releasably installed after the foamed thermal insulating foaming, so, connecting airtight property between the 2nd partition wall and the body of thermal insulating box is poor, if do not take measures then can not obtain enough sealings, to take to be provided with in addition sealing countermeasures such as seal for this reason.

In addition, in the above-mentioned prior art, adiabatic partition wall is divided into two parts, and a part is wherein releasably installed, so, the structure more complicated, its assembleability may not be good.Simultaneously, in when maintenance,, then can not carry out the inspection, part exchanging of cooler and cold air circulation mechanism etc. if do not unload the 2nd partition wall earlier.Maintainability is poor.

In addition, except above-mentioned cold air circulation mechanism, the backing portion in body of thermal insulating box also is provided with the recurrent canal that is used for the air in the vegetable compartment is returned the cooler lower portion.Formation method as this recurrent canal, in the prior art, be that tubular body is installed on the interior case in advance, filling foamed thermal insulating around it again, recurrent canal is embedded in the body of thermal insulating box, perhaps, the recurrent canal that the lower end is curved about L font forms parts and is installed on the body of thermal insulating box, thus and interior case inner face between form recurrent canal.

But, in the former approach, be to form recurrent canal in the body of thermal insulating box by tubular body is embedded in, so must on interior case, form the peristome of accommodating this tubular body so that tubular body is installed, in addition, during foaming, must carry out the sealing of tubular body end face and interior case peristome etc.So complex structure, assembleability is poor, and tubular body is not easy to guarantee the required path basal area of recurrent canal because of the blow pressure of foamed thermal insulating might be out of shape.On the other hand, in latter's method, be recurrent canal to be formed parts be installed in interior case inner face, form enough sealings between parts and the interior case in order to obtain recurrent canal, encapsulant etc. must be set, still exist the problem of complex structure.

At this moment, as shown in Figure 1, rearward end on above-mentioned adiabatic partition wall 11 forms and embeds recess 11d, and the following 24a of portion of above-mentioned baffle plate unit 24 embeds in this recess 11d.In the present embodiment, the height and position of 24 upper ends, baffle plate unit than the low preliminary dimension of separating part 9 (base plate 9b), like this, in vegetable compartment 7, spurs baffle plate unit 24 towards the front side rotationally, just baffle plate unit 24 can be unloaded.Certainly, can carry out the installation of baffle plate unit 24 with opposite operation.

As described in the explanation of hereinafter assembling procedure, in the present embodiment, when the cooler 19 of above-mentioned structure and cold air circulation mechanism 20 are assembled into refrigerator body 1 (body of thermal insulating box 2) and go up, under adiabatic demarcation strip 11 is installed in state on the body of thermal insulating box 2 in advance, for example cooler 19 is assembled into the assembling space portion 34 that constitutes between said adiabatic demarcation strip 11 and the interior case 3 and (sees Fig. 6 from refrigerating chamber 8 sides, Fig. 7 etc.), then, covering the assembly that baffle plate unit 24 is installed on 23 in evaporation, embed assembling from refrigerating chamber 6 sides by vegetable compartment 7, simultaneously, from refrigerating chamber 8 sides assembling refrigerating chamber side protecgulum 25.

At this moment, above-mentioned adiabatic demarcation strip 11 when the foamed thermal insulating 5 that constitutes body of thermal insulating box 2 forms (foaming operation), is installed (temporary fixed) in advance to interior case 3 inside.In addition, owing to cover the total length (length dimension) of the short transverse of the assembly that baffle plate unit 24 is installed on 23 in evaporation, height dimension than vegetable compartment 7 is grown (height dimension than refrigerating chamber 6 is little) slightly, so, this assembling operation is to carry out at the uninstalled state of the 9b of base plate at least of separating part 9.

Below, explanation is located at V chamber recurrent canal 13 parts on the above-mentioned adiabatic demarcation strip 11 with reference to Fig. 6 to Fig. 9.The rectangular tubular that is fore-and-aft direction as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, is seen with recurrent canal 13 in this V chamber from above, be the straight tube-like that the side part prolongs downwards again below adiabatic demarcation strip 11.At this moment, the V chamber constitutes the adiabatic material setting that is made of foamed styrene inside the shell with recurrent canal 13, and this shell is located on the shell body 11a of adiabatic demarcation strip 11 integratedly.In addition, this V chamber is with recurrent canal 13 (protuberance 11b), and the inner face of the promptly interior case 3 of portion closely contacts in face of the facial backing with body of thermal insulating box 2 of its rear wall, is positioned at the right side of cooler 19.

This V chamber upper end inlet portion 13a of recurrent canal 13, (bottom surface of vegetable compartment 7) opening on adiabatic demarcation strip 11, at this moment, as shown in Figure 8, its inlet 13a is protruding upward above adiabatic demarcation strip 11, and inclination slowly descends towards the place ahead.The peristome of this inlet portion 13a is the louver shape.In addition, as shown in Figure 9, use the 13b of export department of the underpart opening of recurrent canal 13 in this V chamber, be positioned near the top of the defrosting heater 28 of top slightly of above-mentioned drainpipe 35, this defrosting heater 28 is located at the below of cooler 19.

In addition, facial on the protuberance 11c of adiabatic partition wall 11 as shown in Figure 6 in the present embodiment, along the margo dexter of assembling space portion (V chamber with the left side of recurrent canal 13), be provided with the sealed wall portion 36 that erects upward.The upper end of sealing wall portion 36 is positioned at than the inlet portion 13a high position of V chamber with recurrent canal 13, is descend towards the place ahead skewed.The right side wall bottom of above-mentioned baffle plate unit 24 is skewed and closely contacts with the upper end of above-mentioned sealed wall 36.

Below, the effect of above-mentioned structure is described.When the refrigerator body 1 of the above-mentioned structure of assembling, in the formation operation of body of thermal insulating box 2, adiabatic partition wall 11 is installed in advance earlier.Specifically, when making body of thermal insulating box 2, case 3 and outer container 4 in the assembling for example inject polyurethane stock solution etc. in the spatial portion that is formed at therebetween, make its sclerosis with finishing die while pushing foaming, the state of the adiabatic material (polyurethane foam) 5 that foams that become filling.When this foams, the inside of case 3 in advance adiabatic partition wall 11 being installed in.

So, because the blow pressure of foamed thermal insulating 5, interior case 3 is subjected to the power of side direction exapnsion in the refrigerator, the both side edges portion of adiabatic partition wall 11 and the madial wall brute force of interior case 3 are connected airtight, can obtain high leakproofness between them, not need in following process, to seal with the encapsulant of high price.In addition, at this moment, between the back of adiabatic partition wall 11 one and interior case 3 (left side of protuberance 11c) as shown in Figure 6 can guarantee to assemble the assembling space portion 34 of cooler 19 and cold air circulation mechanism 20.Meanwhile, be located at the V chamber recurrent canal 13 on the adiabatic partition wall 11 integratedly, be provided in the right side of assembling space portion 34.

Cooler 19 and the parts that constitute cold air circulation mechanism 20 are assembled into the operation in the assembling space portion 34 of interior case 3 inside of body of thermal insulating box 2, following carrying out.That is, earlier cooler 19 is assembled along interior case 3 inner faces, the assembling of this cooler 19 according to the openings of sizes of refrigerating chamber 8 and vegetable compartment 7, is carried out from refrigerating chamber 8 sides of adiabatic partition wall 11 downsides or from vegetable compartment 7 sides of upside.With the assembling while of this cooler 19, the assembling of defrosting heater 28 is also carried out in refrigerating chamber 8 sides.

Then, evaporate and cover 23 and the assembling of baffle plate 24, at this moment, in advance fan assembly 26 is installed to evaporation and covers on 23 the fan installation portion 27, simultaneously the heat insulator 31 of assembling retaining device 32 and rear portion heat insulation material 33 is embedded in the shutter 30, constitute baffle plate unit 24.Then, as shown in Figure 6, cover the assembly that baffle plate unit 24 is installed on 23, from the refrigerating chamber 6 and the embedding of vegetable compartment 7 sides of adiabatic partition wall 11 tops and assemble in evaporation.

At this moment,, in interior case 3, do not install as yet under the state of separating part 9, can easily carry out its installation exercise though the short transverse size of cover assembly that baffle plate unit 24 is installed on 23 in evaporation greatly.In addition, meanwhile, from refrigerating chamber side 8 assembling refrigerating chamber side protecgulums 25.Then, assembled conduit forms parts 22 and separating part 9 etc. in interior case 3.Like this, as shown in Figure 1 to Figure 3, cooler 19, cold air circulation mechanism 20 (being made of the fan assembly 26 of the cold air of sending this cooler 19, cool-air feed pipeline 29, retaining device 32 etc.) and V chamber can easily be assembled with recurrent canal 13 by the height place of crossing over adiabatic partition wall 11 up and down of side surface side in body of thermal insulating box 2.

When refrigerator turned round, the cold air of supplying with vegetable compartment 7, reserve (vegetables) being cooled off circulated with the bottom that recurrent canal 13 returns cooler 19 by the V chamber.At this moment, when having piled reserve among the tank 7a in the vegetable compartment 7, the reserve of smallclothes may overflow from this tank 7a and fall depth position (on the protuberance 11c of adiabatic partition wall 11) in the vegetable compartment 7.But in the present embodiment, the inlet portion 13a with recurrent canal 13 is towards the state of the place ahead decline inclination owing to the V chamber, so, can prevent that above-mentioned dropping from stopping up inlet portion 13a.

In addition, in refrigerator, phase stops kind of refrigeration cycle and connects defrosting heater 28 in due course, to heat the defrosting running of cooler 19, at this moment, because the V chamber is located near the top of defrosting heater 28 with the 13b of lower end export department of recurrent canal 13, so, even also can defrost with the thermosolization of Defrost heater 28 with frosting in the recurrent canal 13 in the V chamber.

As mentioned above, according to present embodiment, at the height and position of crossing over adiabatic partition wall 11 up and down cooler 19 and cold air circulation mechanism 20 are set, because can be in advance adiabatic partition wall 11 being installed under the state in the case 3, the component parts of assembling cooler 19 and cold air circulation mechanism 20, so, will not be divided into two parts by thermal insulation partition wall 11, after can assembling adiabatic partition wall 11 in advance, carry out the foaming operation of body of thermal insulating box 2.Therefore, the chamber up and down (vegetable compartment 7 and refrigerating chamber 8) of adiabatic partition wall 11 though between the temperature band be very different, other sealing material also needn't be set afterwards carry out the strictness sealing, can guarantee the high leakproofness between adiabatic partition wall 11 and body of thermal insulating box 2 internal faces.

In addition, 23 (on this evaporation lid 23 fan assembly 26 being installed) and baffle plate unit 24 (this baffle plate unit 24 be retaining device 32 is assembled into heat insulator 31 interior and form blocking) formation cover by evaporation in cold air circulation mechanism 20, can they be embedded the ground assembling from the top of adiabatic partition wall 11, so, increased substantially assembleability.Especially in the present embodiment, cover the assembly that baffle plate unit 24 is installed on 23 in evaporation and can once assemble and finish, so assembleability is fabulous.

In addition, needn't unload adiabatic partition wall 11, just can easily unload lower baffle plate unit 24 and evaporate and cover 23.Operations such as the maintenance of cooler 19 and cold air circulation mechanism 20, part exchanging are also easy, and maintainability improves.At this moment, particularly in the present embodiment, needn't unload separating part 9 just can be from vegetable compartment 7 loading and unloading baffle plate unit 24, so improved maintainability more.

Have again, in the present embodiment, because the V chamber is located on the adiabatic partition wall 11 integratedly with recurrent canal 13, so, and imbed recurrent canal in the insulated cabinet or the prior art that other recurrent canal forms parts is installed compares, can make the simple structure of V chamber usefulness recurrent canal.At this moment, because the V chamber is positioned at the inwall face of case 3 with recurrent canal 13, so, needn't in interior case 3, carry out complicated processing such as perforate, interior case 3 structures own also can be simple.In addition, the V chamber is the straight tube-like of extending along the vertical direction with recurrent canal 13, so its formation also is more prone to.

And, particularly in the present embodiment, the V chamber is outstanding and descend to towards the place ahead towards the top with the inlet portion 13a of recurrent canal 13, and the V chamber is configured near the top of Defrost heater 28 with the 13b of export department of recurrent canal 13, so, can prevent that reserve from stopping up the inlet portion 13a of V chamber with recurrent canal 13.In addition, special heater needn't be set and remove the V chamber with the frosting in the recurrent canal 13.

In addition, in the foregoing description, be once to be assembled in the assembling space 34, still covering the assembly that baffle plate unit 24 is installed on 23 in evaporation, also can assemble evaporation lid 23 and baffle plate unit 24 that fan assembly 26 is installed respectively, do so also and can fully improve assembleability.The present invention is not limited to the foregoing description in addition, for example, also the separating part of refrigerated chamber and vegetable compartment can be positioned at the tight top of baffle plate unit.In addition, the structure of the structure of evaporation lid and baffle plate unit and recurrent canal part etc. can be done various distortion, can suitably change without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
