Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator, a refrigerator component, a refrigerator door, a refrigerator door handle, and a refrigerator component manufacturing method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, refrigerators having an improved design effect have been increasing. In general, a PCM steel plate is used for a metal outer box that constitutes the outer shell of a heat insulating box of a refrigerator, and a laminated steel plate on which a colored film is laminated is used for a metal outer plate of a door. ing. Further, the resin part is formed by injection molding or in-molding colored resin.

In addition, there is also a method of decorating a resin molded part by transfer using a transfer roller as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2524412.

[0004]

However, the PCM
Since the steel sheet is a steel sheet whose surface is color-painted, the cost is high, and it is difficult to add depth (gloss) to the color due to the coating, and it is difficult to change the color during manufacturing.
Since M steel plates are switched, there is a drawback in that color orders and color switching cannot be flexibly dealt with during manufacturing. Further, when a flat plate-shaped PCM steel plate is processed into a predetermined shape, a coating film may be cracked depending on the processed shape, so that there is a drawback that the shape that can be processed is limited.

A laminated steel sheet is a steel sheet on which a film with a colored pattern containing vinyl chloride is laminated. Since it contains vinyl chloride, there is an environmental problem, the cost is high, and the color switching during manufacturing is a laminate. Since the steel plates are switched, there is a drawback that it is not possible to flexibly respond to color orders and color changes at the time of manufacturing. When processing a flat laminated steel sheet into a predetermined shape, there is a risk that the laminated layer (resin) may be whitened or the laminated layer may be wrinkled depending on the processed shape. There was a drawback.

In addition, since resin parts obtained by injection-molding colored resin use colored resin, the cost of the resin material is high, patterning is not possible, and unintended silver strips, flow marks, etc. occur on the surface. As a result, the yield is poor, and there is a drawback in that color orders and color switching cannot be flexibly dealt with during manufacturing.

In addition, the in-mold molded resin parts have the drawbacks that the cost is high, the range in which decoration (decoration) is possible is relatively narrow, and color orders and color switching cannot be flexibly dealt with during manufacturing.

In the door of the conventional refrigerator, laminated steel plates are used for the outer plates that form the front and left and right sides of the door, and resin parts are used for the portion that covers the cut surface of the outer plate and the handle (handle) of the door. Although it is used, there is a drawback in that the outer surface plate portion of the door and the resin material portion cannot have the same color pattern because the way of coloring is different depending on the constituent material.

Further, since a laminated steel plate is used for the outer surface plate of the conventional refrigerator door and a PCM steel plate is used for the metal outer box forming the outer shell of the heat insulating box, the outer surface plate of the door and the outer surface of the refrigerator are not used. It had the drawback that the color depth (gloss) was different for the box.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. It allows patterning, is excellent in design, can be decorated at a low cost, has few restrictions on the shape of the surface to be decorated, and can order colors or switch colors during manufacturing. , The manufacturing lead time can be shortened, the environmental load is small, and the surface can be decorated with the same color pattern regardless of the material and parts of the refrigerator, refrigerator parts, refrigerator doors and refrigerator door handles. And a method of manufacturing a refrigerator part.
