Then, of the air that has passed through the condenser 32, the heated air blown out to the left side of the mounting board 37 via the first fan 40 is mainly blown to the compressor 31, The heated air blown to the left side of the mounting board 37 through the second fan 44 through the second fan 44 is blown mainly above the evaporating dish 50 through the opening 49, and the evaporating dish 50 Of the wastewater stored in the storage section 53 is evaporated.

(Regarding the Evaporating Dish) A mounting portion 28 is formed below the body 15 so as to protrude into the space portion 19 and open forward. Are set so that they can enter and exit from the front side (FIG. 9). As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the evaporating dish 50 is made of a synthetic resin having a tray shape as a whole on the premise of the height of the mounting portion 28. A main body 51 having a flat rectangular shape set to have an appropriately small width dimension, and a horizontally long dew receiving section 52 which is connected to the front edge of the main body section 51 and has the same dimension as the width dimension of the refrigerator 10. Are formed integrally, and the whole size is set to correspond to a substantially front half area of the bottom surface of the refrigerator 10. The main body 51 and the dew receiving part 52
Thereby, a storage unit 53 for storing drainage such as defrost water and dew condensation water is defined. In addition, a drain pipe 48 vertically extending downward from the bottom surface of the storage chamber 20 is provided with the opening 4.
The defrosting water and dew water generated by defrosting are discharged into the storage unit 53 through the storage unit 53.

(Main Body) Eaves 57 extending horizontally outward are integrally formed at the upper ends of the left and right side walls 54, 55 and the rear wall 56 of the main body 51.
The overall torsional rigidity and flexural rigidity are improved. A plurality of dam members extending in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction are integrally formed with the bottom plate 58 of the main body 51 in a state where the dam members project at substantially the same height as the depth dimension of the storage portion 53. Is formed. That is, three trapezoidal plate-shaped first dam members 59, 60, 61 extending in the left-right direction are arranged in a zigzag manner substantially at the center of the bottom plate 58 in the front-rear direction. It is roughly divided into two. In addition, each of the first

67 are arranged in parallel at substantially the same intervals. Thereby, the storage section 53 is divided into approximately eight sections. The ends of the weir members are not connected to each other, and the drainage in the storage unit 53 is discharged from the first weir members 59, 60, 61 or the second weir members 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67. The space flows appropriately, and is uniformly stored in the entire storage section 53.

Of the second weir members, the weir members 62, 63, 64, and 65 located at the front and rear left and front and rear centers,
As shown in FIG. 8A, a vertically formed vertical portion 68 is formed.
And an inclined portion 69 inclined downward to the right front side at an angle of about 45 degrees from the top of the vertical portion 68. That is, these second dam members 62, 63, 64, 65
As shown in FIG. 4, when the evaporating dish 50 is set on the mounting portion 28, a portion where the air from the blower 36 is directly blown toward the opening 49 formed in the base plate 25. And extends in a direction orthogonal to the air blowing direction, and the inclined portion 69 directed toward the second fan 44 is inclined in a direction away from the blower 36 as going upward. . As a result, the heated air blown from the second fan 44 is smoothly blown through, and the rising of the drainage on the inclined portion 69 by the wind pressure of the heated air is allowed. (Figure 1
0). In addition, among the second weir members, the weir members 66 and 67 located on the front and rear sides on the right side are, as shown in FIG.
9, the first weir members 59, 60, 61
As in the case of FIG.
(a)).

(Dew Receiving Unit) As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, when the evaporating dish 50 is set on the mounting unit 28, the dew receiving unit 52 is mounted on a front panel of the machine body 15. 29
It is adapted to appropriately extend forward from the outer surface of the vehicle. The front end portion of the dew receiving portion 52 is formed with an inclined wall 70 that is inclined downward rearward, and receives, for example, dew water flowing down along the front surface of the front panel 29 and guides it to the storage portion 53. (FIG. 11). In addition,
As described above, since the width of the dew receiving portion 52 is set substantially equal to the entire width of the refrigerator 10,
Is set on the mounting portion 28, the front sides of the legs 17, 17 are covered, and the left and right legs 17, 17 cannot be seen from the front side of the refrigerator 10 (FIG. 1). And the dew receiving section 52
A finger holding portion 71 for hanging a fingertip when the evaporating dish 50 is put in and out of the mounting portion 28 is formed at the center in the left and right directions.

[0017]

Next, the operation of the evaporating dish of the apparatus having the refrigeration mechanism according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. Prior to the operation of the refrigerator 10, the evaporating dish 50 of this embodiment is easily stored and set simply by pushing the evaporating dish 50 into the placing section 28 from the front side (FIG. 9). The mounting section 28 described above
The evaporating dish 50 stored in the storage unit 5 of the main body 51
3 is aligned with the opening 49 formed in the base plate 25, and the dew receiving portion 52 is located on the front side of the space 19 defined below the body 15. Accordingly, the left and right legs 17, 17 are covered by the dew receiving part 52, and the dew receiving part 52 itself is not conspicuous due to the inclined wall 70 formed on the front surface of the dew receiving part 52. Is improved.

In the refrigerator 10, the evaporating dish 5
When the cooling operation by the refrigeration mechanism 30 is started with 0 set, the refrigerant circulates through the compressor 31, the condenser 32, the cooler 33, and the compressor 31, so that the cooler 33 evaporates the refrigerant. Cooled by heat. Then, the air sent into the space from the storage room 20 by the cool air circulation device 26 becomes cool air by heat exchange with the cooled cooler 33 and is sent out to the storage room 20, and the entire storage room 20 has a predetermined temperature. Is cooled.

On the other hand, in the blower 36, the first fan 40 and the second fan
The motors 41, 45 of the fan 44 are driven to rotate the fan blades 42, 46, and the sucked air is supplied to the condenser 32.
, The condenser 32 is cooled. And
Of the air that has been appropriately heated by heat exchange with the condenser 32, the heated air blown out from the first fan 40 is blown to the compressor 31 heated by the cooling operation, and the cooling of the compressor 31 is performed. To be served. On the other hand, of the air that has been appropriately heated by heat exchange with the condenser 32, the heated air blown out of the second fan 44 blows upward through the opening 49 above the storage 53 in the evaporating dish 50. Attached.

In the refrigerator 10 of the embodiment, when the front door 21 is opened and closed, and the articles to be refrigerated are put in and out of the storage room 20, the temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the temperature inside the storage room 20 causes the front door 21 to open and close. Dew condensation occurs on the outer surfaces of the glass plate 24 at the door 21 and the rear door 22. The condensed water flows down along the glass plate 24, is collected at the bottom of the storage chamber 20, and is discharged to the storage section 53 of the evaporating dish 50 via the drain pipe 48. In addition, since the drainage by the dew condensation water hardly occurs at a time, it does not go to the entire storage unit 53,
The blowing of the heated air blown out through the second fan 44 in the blower 36 evaporates in a relatively short time.

On the other hand, if the refrigeration mechanism 30 is continuously cooled, the frost grows in a layer on the surface of the cooler 33 and the cooling capacity is reduced. If the amount exceeds a predetermined value, a defrosting operation is performed. The defrost water generated by this defrosting operation is once collected on the bottom surface of the storage chamber 20, and then discharged to the storage section 53 of the evaporating dish 50 via the drain pipe 48. Since the drainage due to the defrost water is generated in a relatively large amount by one defrosting operation, the drainage is stored in a state where the drainage reaches the entire storage unit 53, but the first weir members 59, 60, 61 and the second weir member 6
2, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67 project upward from the surface of the drainage water. Then, when the heated air blown out through the second fan 44 in the blower 36 is blown against a predetermined amount of wastewater stored in the storage unit 53,
Due to the wind pressure of the heated air, a part of the drainage rides on the inclined portion 69 of the second weir members 62, 63, 64, 65 (FIG. 10). As a result, the area of the drainage surface (the contact area with the heated air) increases, so that the evaporation efficiency is improved and the time required for the evaporation of the wastewater is reduced.

On the other hand, when the wastewater stored in the storage section 53 is to be discarded, the evaporating dish 50 is pulled out to the front side of the refrigerator 10. Then, when the evaporating dish 50 pulled out from the mounting portion 28 is lifted and transported, if the balance is lost and the evaporating dish 50 is tilted back and forth, the first weir member 59 projecting from the surface of the drainage water. , 60, 61 prevent the entire drainage from moving in the front-rear direction.
Spilling from zero is preferably prevented. When the balance is lost and the evaporating dish 50 is tilted left and right,
The second weir members 62, 63, 6 projecting from the surface of the drainage water
4, 65, 66, and 67 prevent the entire drainage from moving in the left-right direction, so that the drainage is prevented from waving and spilling out of the evaporating dish 50.

As described above, in the evaporating dish 50 according to the present embodiment, the first dam members 59, 60, 61 formed in the storage section 53.
Even if the evaporation plate 50 is erroneously tilted back and forth or right and left by the second weir members 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 and 67 when the evaporation plate 50 is transported, the storage unit 5
The movement of the entire drainage pooled in 3 is prevented, and the undulating drainage is preferably prevented from spilling. Further, in the refrigerator 10 of the embodiment, the wastewater stored in the storage portion 53 of the evaporating dish 50 is evaporated by using the blowing of the heated air blown out from the second fan 44 in the blowing device 36. Because of this, the second weir member 6 is driven by the wind pressure of the heated air.
The drainage rises on the inclined portion 69 formed at 2, 63, 64, 65, thereby increasing the contact area with the heated air and improving the evaporation efficiency. That is, the evaporation efficiency can be improved without increasing the outer size of the evaporating dish 50.

Further, in the evaporating dish 50 according to the present embodiment, when the evaporating dish 50 is set on the mounting portion 28, the dew receiving portion 52 located at the front of the refrigerator 10 extends over the entire width of the refrigerator 10. In addition, the front sides of the legs 17, 17 supporting the refrigerator 10 are preferably covered, so that the external appearance of the entire refrigerator 10 is improved to enhance the texture. In addition, since the dew receiving portion 52 appropriately extends forward from the front panel 29 of the refrigerator 10,
It is possible to suitably receive the dew condensation or the like adhering to the front surface (outer surface) of the front panel 29 and prevent the floor from getting wet with the dew condensation water. Further, when the evaporating dish 50 is pushed into the back side, the dew receiving part 52 projecting left and right hits the legs 17 and 17 and functions as a stopper, so that the evaporating dish 50 set on the mounting part 28 can be easily positioned. Done.

Further, in the refrigerator 10 of this embodiment, the condenser 3
Since the blower 36 for cooling the cooling fan 2 is composed of the first fan 40 and the second fan 44, the fan blades 4
The motors 41 and 45 for rotating the motors 2 and 46 can be reduced in size, so that cost and operating noise can be reduced. In addition, the fan blades 42 and 46 can also be made using synthetic resin molded products with miniaturization, thereby reducing costs. And the first fan 40
Can be used for cooling the compressor 31 and the air blown from the second fan 44 can be used for evaporating the wastewater stored in the evaporating dish 50, so that the cooling efficiency of the compressor 31 and the The efficiency of drainage evaporation can be improved. Further, the first fan 40 and the second fan 44
Even if one of the two fails, the cooling operation of the refrigerator 10 can be suddenly stopped because the cooling of the condenser 32 can be continuously performed by operating the other fan normally. Absent.

As shown in FIG. 12, if the inclined guide member 72 is provided above the opening 49 in the base plate 25, most of the heated air blown from the second fan 44 will be on the side of the evaporating dish 50. It is possible to further improve the evaporation efficiency of the wastewater guided to the discharge tray and stored in the storage part 53 of the evaporating dish 50.

In the above-described embodiment, the type in which the wastewater stored in the storage section 53 of the evaporating dish 50 is forcibly evaporated by using the blowing of the heated air used for cooling the condenser 32 in the refrigeration mechanism 30 is used. Refrigerator (a device with a freezing mechanism)
Was exemplified. However, the evaporating dish 50 can be suitably applied to a refrigerator (a device having a freezing mechanism) of a type that naturally evaporates without spraying heated air. In the spontaneous evaporation type device, since the heated air is not sprayed, it is not necessary to form the inclined portion 69 in the second weir members 62, 63, 62, 64.

Further, the shape, number, position and direction of the weir members formed on the bottom plate 58 of the storage section 53 are not limited to those shown in the above-described embodiment. Any other form may be used as long as it can appropriately improve the evaporation efficiency.

In this embodiment, a refrigerator is exemplified as an apparatus having a refrigeration mechanism. However, the apparatus to which the present invention is applied is not limited to this. For example, a showcase, an air conditioner, an ice maker, etc. It is targeted.

[0030]

As described above, according to the evaporating dish of the apparatus having the refrigerating mechanism of the present invention, the dew receiving portions extending to the left and right sides are formed at the front edge of the main body. When set on the mounting portion, the dew receiving portion located at the front of the device main body extends over the entire width of the main body, the front sides of the legs supporting the device are suitably covered, and the outside of the entire device is It has a beneficial effect that can improve the texture by improving the aesthetic appearance. In addition, since the dew receiving portion extends appropriately forward from the front panel of the apparatus main body, it is possible to appropriately receive dew water and the like adhering to the outer surface of the front panel and prevent the floor from getting wet with the dew water. There are also advantages that can be achieved. When the evaporating dish is pushed deeper into the receiver, the left and right dew receiving parts contact the legs and function as stoppers, so that the evaporating dish set on the receiver is easily positioned. Furthermore, the inclined wall formed on the front surface of the dew receiving portion makes the dew receiving portion itself inconspicuous, and does not hinder the improvement of the external appearance of the device.
