Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a refrigerator / refrigerator in a truck luggage compartment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 2, a freezing / refrigerator is mounted at the front of a luggage compartment of a van type truck to transport cargo in a frozen or refrigerated state. In such a vehicle, a refrigerator has conventionally been suspended from a ceiling. For this reason, the effective height in the warehouse was reduced, and the cargo volume was reduced. In addition, when the room was partitioned into a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment, small doors were attached to each compartment, making it difficult to inspect the inside and put things in and out. Further, since opening and closing of the door was performed only by hand, not only the work was not easy, but there was also a risk of pinching the hand. In the case where the upper opening door is provided so that objects can be taken in and out, the upper opening door is small, so that it is not easy to move the middle partition that separates the freezing room and the refrigerator compartment. Since the supply of cool air to the refrigerator compartment was performed by a fan provided in the middle partition, electric wiring is required for the middle partition. This made it difficult to move the partition. When loading or unloading luggage into or out of the freezer compartment or cold storage compartment, the side door of the vehicle retracts inside the luggage compartment, so the opening angle of the door is small. Getting in and out was not easy. In addition, since the door frame is of a split type and has a rivet mounting structure, the sealing at this portion is incomplete, so that it is easy for rain to leak from these frame portions.

[0003]

[0007] Avoiding the type of hanging from the ceiling of the refrigerator, instead of placing it along the front wall, and integrating the freezing room and refrigerator compartment to increase the load capacity or In order to make the load capacity as large as possible, the freezer compartment mounted on the vehicle and the side door for loading and unloading cargo from the refrigerator compartment should be installed on the outermost side of the truck luggage compartment. The door frame has an integral welded structure so that it can be attached to the refrigerator / refrigerator body from the side. It is an object of the present invention to supply cold air from a refrigerator to both a freezer and a refrigerator at the same time, and to provide a refrigerator / refrigerator capable of solving the above problems.

[0004]

A refrigerator is vertically installed on the front wall of a van-type truck luggage compartment, and supply of cold air to the freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment separated from the freezer compartment is provided by one of the vertically placed refrigerator compartments. It can be supplied by a refrigerator. In the refrigerator / refrigerator provided at the front of the van-type truck luggage compartment, the door frame of the side door that can be opened and closed from the side of the truck has an integrated welding structure that can be separated from the refrigerator / refrigerator body, and the refrigerator / fridge is placed in the luggage compartment. Then, the door frame was mounted on a truck bed. Further, in the refrigerator / refrigerator provided at the front of the luggage compartment of the van-type truck, the upper opening door which opens and closes on the van-type truck luggage compartment side is constituted by a large single door, and the single door is provided with a gas spring, Both the freezing section and the refrigeration section can be opened and closed simultaneously.

FIG. 2 shows a van type vehicle V provided with a refrigerator / refrigerator according to the present invention. The refrigerator 1 is placed on the floor along the front wall of the van-type vehicle, and is mounted vertically from there.

A refrigerator comprising a freezer compartment 2 and a refrigerator compartment 3 according to the present invention is mounted behind the refrigerator 1 (on the side of the refrigerator compartment). The freezer compartment 2 and the refrigerating compartment 3 are separated by a horizontally movable partition 4 at the middle, so that the volumes of both compartments can be changed as required. Reference numeral 5 denotes a luggage compartment opening / closing lid that can be opened upward in the luggage compartment of the van type vehicle. 6a and 6
b is a side door which can be opened and closed by an operator in the direction of the arrow on the side of the vehicle. Reference numeral 7 denotes a rear door of the vehicle, from which an operator can enter or leave, or can load or unload luggage.

FIG. 3 is a layout view of the refrigerator, wherein (a) is a plan view and (b) is a front view. In FIG. 3 (a), the partition 4 moves right and left along the guide plate 11 by a width w (FIG. 3 (b)), and the volumes of the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment can be changed as necessary. Alternatively, the middle partition 4 can be pulled upward.

In the example shown in the figure, three cold air outlets 8 are provided on the front side of the refrigerator 1 on the freezer compartment 2 side, and one cool air outlet 9 is provided on the refrigerator compartment 3 side.
Is provided. Reference numeral 10 denotes a cold air inlet provided at a lower portion. FIG. 1 shows a refrigerator / refrigerator (hereinafter referred to as a refrigerator) R.
FIG. The outer plate of the refrigerator R is veneered. As a result, dew condensation on the outer surface is prevented, and general cargo can be protected. The opening / closing lid 5 that opens and closes up and down in the luggage compartment is located at the top of the refrigerator R and is made up of a single large door, and can be opened upward with a handle 5a provided at the end. At this time, the operation force can be reduced by the gas spring 12, and the gas spring 12 can be released lightly.

Next, the side doors 6a and 6b have a door handle 13 (FIG. 4) provided on the outdoor side, and can be operated by one-touch operation. When the door is closed, the operation of the handle 13 is unnecessary.
The middle partition 4 has a structure that can be easily attached and detached in the vertical direction, and can be moved to the left and right.

[0010] Further, the refrigerator can be changed in size according to the size of the vehicle by, for example, a urethane foam assembly panel system, and if it is made to have an antibacterial panel specification, it is preferable from the viewpoint of hygiene.

Next, the side doors 6a and 6b are body-integrated doors, which can be retrofitted from the outside after the refrigerator R is mounted in the vehicle, and have a structure with good watertightness. The side doors 6a and 6b are connected to a door frame 15 by hinges 14 so as to be openable and closable.

The side doors 6a and 6b have a heat insulating structure, and a gasket 16 is mounted on the peripheral surface. As shown in FIG. 5, the door frame 15 on the side has a structure that can be separated from the refrigerator body 17. Then, after the main body 17 is mounted in the storage, the door frame 15 having a welded integral structure can be integrally connected by bolts. Further, the door frame 15 has a structure in which it is connected to the frame body 18 on the truck carrier side with bolts or rivets,
The outermost side of the handle 13 can be configured to be flush with the outermost side of the packing box.
