More specifically, the present invention relates to a technique for circulating cool air so that the temperature of each storage room can be individually controlled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In many cases, electric refrigerators have several storage rooms such as a refrigerator room, a vegetable storage room and a freezer room set at different temperature zones. An example thereof will be described with reference to FIG. 19. In an electric refrigerator in recent years, a refrigeration room 100 which is most frequently used from an ergonomic point of view is placed at the top, and a specific low-temperature room 20 such as a chilled room is placed below the refrigerator.
0, a vegetable room 300, and a freezing room 400.

The cool air is generated in a heat exchanger (evaporator) 1 connected to a compressor C, and the cool air is supplied to each of the storage rooms 100 to 400 via a duct 3 by a blower 2. The housing of the refrigerator main body R is composed of an inner box 4 and an outer box 5 assembled with a heat insulating material interposed therebetween. 9 are provided, and the heat exchanger 1 and the blower 2 are arranged in the duct 3.

Since the duct 3 is provided on the rear side of the refrigerator main body R, the refrigerator compartment 100 and the specific low-temperature compartment 20 are provided.
Cold air is supplied from the back side to 0 and the like, and is returned to the suction side of the heat exchanger 1 via a predetermined cool air return duct.

The cool air supplied to the refrigerator compartment 100 is guided to the vegetable compartment 300 via the bypass pipe 6 and then returned to the suction side of the heat exchanger 1. When the vegetable room 300 is placed under the refrigerator room 100, a ventilation hole is provided in a partition wall between the refrigerator room 100 and the vegetable room 300 so that cold air is supplied from the refrigerator room 100 to the vegetable room 300. I have.

However, the above-mentioned conventional cool air circulation system has the following problems. First,
Looking at the vegetable room 300, since cold air is supplied from the upstream cold room 100, its temperature is affected by the temperature of the cold room 100, so that not only a fine temperature control cannot be performed but also the cold room unique to the cold room. Odor is vegetable room 30
It is brought to 0.

In recent years, it has been proposed to divide the vegetable compartment 300 into a high-temperature vegetable compartment and a low-temperature vegetable compartment in order to enable proper storage according to the type of vegetables.
It is difficult to produce high and low temperatures with the above-mentioned conventional cool air circulation system, and considerable technology is required to achieve this.

Further, the above-mentioned conventional cool air circulation system (back air supply system for supplying cool air from the back side of the storage room) has another problem as follows. That is, regarding the refrigerator compartment 100, in many cases, the shelves are packed with foodstuffs, and this becomes an obstacle to the cooling air blow, and the refrigerator compartment 1
00 is hardly cooled.

In addition, the refrigerator compartment 100 is kept substantially sealed by the door D. However, heat always enters from the gasket portion of the refrigerator compartment D, and the door D of the refrigerator compartment 100 is frequently opened and closed. In particular, heat flows in and out on the front side of the refrigerator compartment 100. Therefore, the refrigerator compartment 10
0, temperature unevenness occurred on the back side and the front side.

Further, the refrigerator compartment 100 requires the largest amount of cool air among the storage compartments, but the heat exchanger 1 is disposed below the duct 3 due to the relationship with the compressor C, and reaches the refrigerator compartment 100. Since the length of the duct path is long, the cooling air loss between them is large.

The air can flow from the front side toward the rear of the depth, thereby eliminating temperature unevenness in the refrigerator compartment. Further, since the blower and the heat exchanger are arranged at the upper part on the rear side of the refrigerator compartment, the duct route to the refrigerator compartment is correspondingly shortened, so that the loss of cool air can be minimized.

When a specific low-temperature room (for example, a chilled room) is assigned to one of the storage rooms, a part of the cool air sent from the blower is supplied to the specific low-temperature room via a dedicated duct. Is preferred. In this case, a dedicated duct may be used as a mixing duct to serve both as a vegetable room and a specific low-temperature room, or a vegetable room dedicated duct and a specific low-temperature room dedicated duct may be separately provided. Either embodiment is included in the present invention.

When the vegetable compartment is divided into a low-temperature vegetable compartment and a high-temperature vegetable compartment, a dedicated duct is provided for each compartment. According to this, the temperature management of the low temperature vegetable room and the high temperature vegetable room can be finely controlled.

In the present invention, there are several ways to route the dedicated duct. However, when the dedicated duct is formed on the back surface of the duct cover with a heat insulating material, the duct is guided to the vegetable room or the specific low-temperature room through the inside of the rear duct portion. it can.

When the dedicated duct is arranged at the corner of the inner box forming the storage room, the inner box can be used as a part of the dedicated duct, and the cost can be reduced. Note that the dedicated duct may be arranged along a side surface in the storage room.

It is led down through. As a result, a dedicated duct can be provided without impairing the internal volume, and the duct area can be increased. Alternatively, the dedicated duct may be guided downward through the front of the heat exchanger, whereby the heat of the heat exchanger can be transferred to the dedicated duct.

A part of the cool air sent from the blower is guided to a vegetable room or a specific low-temperature room by a dedicated duct, and the rest is guided to a cool air outlet through the upper surface duct portion. A first cool air guide plate for uniformizing cool air blown out from the cool air outlet.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve efficient cooling air circulation, a part of the cool air generated by the heat exchanger is blown between the heat exchanger and a suction port of the blower. A second cold air guide plate is provided for guiding to one end side (exclusive duct side).

According to the present invention, the vegetable compartment is arranged at the lower part of the refrigerator compartment, and the cool air in the vegetable compartment is returned to the rear duct portion through the refrigerator compartment, but the odor in the vegetable compartment does not transfer to the refrigerator compartment. For this purpose, deodorizing means is provided on the cold air passage from the vegetable compartment to the refrigerator compartment.
