【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、冷凍・冷蔵庫の貯蔵室内を任意の広さ、部屋数に仕切形成するのに好適な仕切装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
今日、冷凍冷蔵庫は、冷蔵室、野菜室、冷凍室等と貯蔵品に適した温度に設定された複数の貯蔵室を備えるものが主流となっている。これら冷却保存される貯蔵品において、近年は、手軽に調理が可能な冷凍商品、例えばお弁当等のおかず類、うどんやそばなどの麺類など多種多様な冷凍食品が流通しその需要が伸びている。このためこれら冷凍食品が冷凍冷蔵庫（以下、冷蔵庫と略記する）に収容される割合も増えている。
【０００３】
この場合に、冷蔵庫の貯蔵室例えば冷凍室などは、例えば冷蔵庫本体に対して引き出し式の容器で構成され、その容器内部に品物が適宜収容されるものとされている。また仕切板を設けて小物品の収容部を形成できるような構成も採用されている。（例えば特許文献１）。

【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ここで消費者は購入した冷凍食品を冷凍室にある容器内で空いている適当な箇所に置き入れるようになるが、収容数が増えてきたら、縦に積み重ねて整理して入れるなどしている。
【０００６】
しかし、食品はほぼ規格された大きさ（例えば縦、横２０数ｃｍ程度）のものが多いとは言え、容器は内部をあまり仕切る仕様とはなっていないので、そのだだっ広い１つの大きな室に縦積みに収容するものだと、出し入れの際のショックで崩れたりして安定なストックができなかったり、縦に積み重ねているので、下にある品物の確認がしずらく、必要な品の取り出しがしにくいという問題があった。また縦積みにより、間に位置する品には冷気が当たりが悪くなり、均一な冷却がなされないというような問題があった。
【０００７】
本発明は上記問題に鑑み成されたもので、貯蔵室内にスライド自在に仕切板を設置可能とし、これの任意な設定位置にて無段階に室の大きさを変えた仕切形成を可能とし、こうして収容品の大きさに対応させた室に品物を縦に（立て掛けて）整理して収容することによって必要な物の出し入れが容易でかつ、安定したストック、均一に冷却可能となるように図った貯蔵室を提供することを目的とするものである。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、冷蔵庫の本体に形成した貯蔵室に設けられる貯蔵物収納のための収容ケースと、該収容ケースの内底面の略中央部域に形成した所定幅の凹溝と、前記凹溝と嵌合する取付足を両側下端に有し、該取付足を介して前記凹溝に着脱自在にかつ摺動可能に装着される仕切板を備え、該仕切板にて任意な位置で収容ケース内を仕切り形成可能としたものである。
【０００９】
また、冷蔵庫の本体に形成した貯蔵室に設けられる収容ケースと、該収容ケースの内底面の略中央部域に形成した所定幅の凹溝と、前記凹溝と嵌合する取付足を両側下端に有し、該取付足を介して前記凹溝に着脱自在にかつ摺動可能に装着される仕切板と、前記仕切板に直交状態に組み付いて収容ケース内に内装固定され仕切板を仕切位置に固定保持させるための補助取付板を備え、該仕切板にて任意な位置で収容ケース内を仕切り形成可能としたものである。
【００１０】
また、前記凹溝の対向する淵縁は内向きに傾斜した壁面としたものである。
【００１１】
また、前記凹溝の淵縁と摺接する前記仕切板の取付足の先端を丸い形状にしたものである。
【００１２】
また、前記補助取付板に前記仕切板と上方から嵌合する複数の嵌合溝を設け、補助取付板が仕切板と前記嵌合溝にて選択的に嵌合しかつ嵌合状態のまま仕切板に対し移動可能に組み付く構造とし、仕切板で仕切った２室を前記補助取付板が任意の位置でさらに補足的に仕切るようにしたものである。
【００１３】
また、前記補助取付板の両端上部に支持部を張り出し形成すると共に、この補助取付板の前記支持部の付設されている両側端縁を上方より嵌合させる複数の差込溝を有した止め板を収容ケースの対向内側壁に設け、前記補助取付板の前記差込溝への選択的嵌合と該嵌合時の前記支持部の差込溝の上縁部への載置にて、前記補助取付板が収容ケース内に取り付け固定されるものである。
【００１４】
また、仕切板は、収容ケースの仕切方向の内幅と略同等の長さとしたものである。
【００１５】
また仕切板は、収容ケースの仕切方向の内幅より短く、仕切板の位置から外れた領域に全幅仕切られていな細長い室を残すように仕切るような長さとしたものである。
【００１６】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づき説明する。
【００１７】
１は冷蔵庫本体にして、仕切壁によって上から例えば冷蔵室２、野菜室３、チルド室４、冷凍室５と区割形成された複数の貯蔵室を有している。冷蔵室２はその前面開口部に備えた二枚の観音式扉６ａ、６ａで開閉される構造のものとなっている。６ｂ，６ｂはその把手部である。また野菜室３、チルド室４Ａ、冷凍室４Ｂは、引き出し構造とされ、その正面壁７，８，９に把手７ｂ、８ｂ、９ｂを有している。
【００１８】
図２は、上記冷凍室５内に分離可能に配された収容ケース１０を示し、合成樹脂にて形成され、奥行き（縦）の長さより横幅（冷蔵庫本体幅）の方が大きい箱形のケースとなっている。該収容ケース１０は把手１０ｂで冷凍室５内で前後に引き出されるような大きさのものとなっている。ここで収容ケース１０の内底面１１ｂの中央部域には、収容ケース１０の横幅方向に所定幅ｄの凹溝１２が形成されている。
【００１９】
１３は、前記凹溝１２に着脱自在に取り付けられる仕切板で、合成樹脂より形成され、また図４に示すように、収容ケース１０の奥行き寸法と略同等の長さｌを有すると共に、下端部に前記凹溝１２と嵌合する水平な取付足１４ａ，１４ｂを両側に有している。
【００２０】
仕切板１３の取付足１４ａ，１４ｂが前記凹溝１２に嵌め込まれて、仕切板１３は前記収容ケース１０内に立設保持されると共に、凹溝１２に沿いスライド自在に装着される。これにより仕切り板１３は、スライドさせその停止保持させた任意の位置にて、収容ケース１０内を自在な広さで左右２室１５Ａ、１５Ｂに仕切り形成することができる。仕切板１３は凹溝１２内のどの位置でも調整して取り付け可能なので、無段階に仕切形成できる。
【００２１】
なお、仕切板１３の高さｈは、収容ケース１０の高さ以下で適宜に設定可能であるが、収容ケース１０の上部開口に、その開口部を蓋するように平底状の収容ラック等がセットされるものでは、その収容ラックの邪魔にならないなような高さとされる。
【００２２】
また、仕切板１３としてその長さｌが上述のように、収容ケース１０の仕切方向の内幅、この場合収容ケース１２の奥行き寸法と略同等の長さのものばかりではなく、これより短い、例えば図６に示すように、凹溝１２の手前側には伸びるが奥側には伸びていない長さｍの仕切板１３ｂを使用することも可能である。この長さｍの仕切板１３ｂの場合は、仕切板１３ｂにより左右２室に収納ケース１０内を部分的に仕切れると共に、奥方には全幅ｗ仕切の無い細長な収容室１６を存在させるような仕切方ができるので、ここに長い物を入れるという使い方が行える。
【００２３】
ここで、凹溝１２の相対向する淵縁を垂直な壁面ではなく、図７（ｂ）に示すように内側に下がるように傾むく鈍角θのテーパー状の淵縁１２ｋ、１２ｋに形成する。このように凹溝１２の淵縁が図７（ａ）に示すような角張った淵縁１２ｊではなく、角を滑らかにした淵縁１２ｋ、１２ｋであれば、淵にゴミが溜まりにくくなる。また角にゴミつまりが無い凹溝１２であれば、仕切板１３のスライドにも支障が無い。一方この凹溝１２の淵縁１２ｋ，１２ｋと摺接する相手部材である仕切板１３の取付足１４ａ，１４ｂの先端を図８に示すように、上下で角をＲ状に面取りし丸い先端縁１７にする。このように角が丸くなった取付足１４ａ，１４ｂの先端縁１７であれば、テーパー状の凹溝の淵縁１２ｋ，１２ｋとの摺動抵抗も減少し、仕切り板１３をスムーズに移動することができるようになる。
【００２４】
前記仕切板１３の取付足１４ａ，１４ｂは、収容ケース１０の内底面１１ｂと面一となるように凹溝１２の深さと合致する厚みを有し、かつ足長さは、仕切板が倒れないように安定に保持できるような長さとされ、両側とも同一長さの取付足か或いは他方は長い足１４ａで、一方は短い取付足１４ｂでもあってもよい。
【００２５】
この場合、実施例のように長短長さが違う取付足１４ａ，１４ｂの仕切り板１３では、図９に示すように、短い取付足１４ｂを収容ケース１０の側壁１０ｃ側に向くように凹溝１２にセットすることで、仕切板１３の不使用時に仕切板１３を隅に寄せ、収容ケース１０内容積を余り減らすことなく収容ケース１０自体に仕舞い込ませておくことができるので、その収納場所を考慮したり、紛失を心配したりしなくても済むようになる。
【００２６】
さらに、適宜な位置で仕切った前記仕切板１３を、前後に動いたりしないよう確実に固定保持できるように該仕切板１３と直交して組み付けられる、図１０から図１２に示すような形状の、長さが収容ケースの横幅とほぼ等しい補助取付板１８が設けられている。この補助取付板１８には、下縁より上方に向って等間隔に複数個の嵌合溝１９が切り込み形成されている。従って、仕切板１３を凹溝１２中を移動しその停止した仕切り位置によって、補助取付板１８の該当する嵌合溝１９を上方より嵌め込んで仕切板１３とクロス状に組み付けることにより、仕切板１３は凹溝１２方向（ケース横幅方向）の動きを規制され、設定した位置に保持固定されるようになる。
【００２７】
さらに、この仕切板１３に組み付いた前記補助取付板１８が収容ケース１０に固定されるように、ケース１０の短手方向の側壁１０ｃ、１０ｃ内面には、図１３から図１５に示すような形状の止め板２０、２０が相対して添設されている。この止め板２０，２０には、上下方向に走る多数の差込固定溝２１が等間隔に形成され、一方補助取付板１８の両側の上方部には左右に張り出した支持部２２，２２を設ける。前記補助取付板１８の両側端部を、前記差込固定溝２１に上方から選択的に嵌合すると、補助取付板１８の支持部２２、２２は、差込固定溝２１の上縁に載置する。これにより補助取付板１８は収容ケース１０に内装固定される。
【００２８】
こうして補助取付板１８が仕切板１３とクロスして組み付きその固定作用をする時は、該補助取付板１８により、仕切板１３で左右に仕切った部屋１５Ａ、１５Ｂをさらに前後２室に補足的に仕切れるようになる。
【００２９】
また補助取付板１８はその嵌合溝１９により仕切板１３と嵌合状態のままその上部を移動し組み付く構造により、仕切板１３との嵌合位置に応じ任意な位置で更に自在に部屋の広さを変更し、前後に補足的に仕切れるようにもなる。またその嵌合位置の調整により、小物を入れるに適した小さい部屋を形成することも可能で、多様な仕切とすることもできる。
【００３０】
そしてこのときは、補助取付板１８の両側端縁が仕切板１３との嵌合位置に見合った位置の該当する止め板２０，２０の差込固定溝２１，２１と嵌り込み、収容ース１０内に固定保持される。
【００３１】
以上の構成の仕切装置となっており、仕切をするときは、仕切板１３をその取付足１４ａ，１４ｂでもって、仕切りたい所望の位置で収容ケース１０の凹溝１２に嵌め込みその底面１１ｂに取り付ける。そして仕切板１３には、補助取付板１８をその嵌合溝１９にてクロス状に組み付かせ、かつ補助取付板１８の両側端縁を端部２２，２２を止め板２０の差込固定溝２１に上方から嵌めれば、仕切板１３が固定保持される。
【００３２】
これにより、左右に形成された２室１５Ａ、１５Ｂのそれぞれに冷凍食品２５などを上下に積み重ねるのではなく、図１６に示すように縦に立て掛けて入れて収容する。これにより、食品等が積み重ねられていないので、所望とするものの取り出しが容易に行えると共に、冷気がどの品物にも満遍なく当たり均一に冷却され良好に冷却保存できるようになる。
【００３３】
仕切板１３による仕切は、その凹溝１２に対する取付位置で無段階に位置調整できるので、品物の大きさに合わせた広さの部屋に迅速かつ的確に仕切対応でき、使用勝手も良い。また角をテーパー状にし、淵縁１２ｋが角張ってない凹溝１２にしたので、ゴミが溜まりにくく、また溜まってもその排除が容易で清潔性を維持できる。そして仕切板１３の取付足１４ａ，１４ｂの先端１７が丸く、凹溝１２の角との摩擦抵抗も少ないので、スライド調整による仕切作業も簡単に行えるようになる。
【００３４】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、収容ケース内を仕切り板で収容する品物の大きさに合わせた部屋に随意に仕切り形成することができ、これにより仕切った各部屋に品物を立てかけて収納することできるので、その出し入れが容易になり、また収容物全てを一様に良好に冷却保存できる。
【００３５】
また、仕切板はその下部両側の取付足が、収納ケースの内底面に設けた凹溝に滑合自在に嵌合することで着脱することができ、仕切位置の変更もスライド操作で簡単に行うことができる。
【００３６】
また仕切板を凹溝に、より確実に保持固定することが、仕切板に直交状態で組み付く補助取付板によって行うことができると共に、その補助取付板でさらに仕切ることや、その組付位置の調整により、小物を入れられるような小さい部屋をも得ることができる等、多彩な仕切をすることができる。
【００３７】
また前記補助取付板は収納ケースの側壁内面に設けた止め板にて固定することができ、また止め板に有させた複数の差込固定溝に適宜補助取付板の両側端縁を嵌めれば、該補助取付板の両端部の突出した支持部が差込溝の上縁に載って保持されると共に、仕切位置も自在にしっかりと形成することができる。
【００３８】
また凹溝の淵をテーパー状の淵にし、そして仕切板のこの淵と擦れ合う取付足の先端を丸くしたので、ゴミたまりが無くなり清潔さが維持でき、かつ摺動抵抗が少なくなって仕切の変更作業も容易に行うことができる。
【００３９】
また、仕切板が収納ケースの内幅より短いものを使用すれば、仕切から外れた箇所に全幅仕切が無く、長い物を入れられるような部屋をも得られるようになり、使い勝手性が良くなる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a partitioning device suitable for partitioning a storage room of a refrigerator / refrigerator into an arbitrary size and number of rooms.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Today, the mainstream of freezer refrigerators includes a refrigerator room, a vegetable room, a freezer room and the like and a plurality of storage rooms set at a temperature suitable for storage items. In recent years, a variety of frozen foods that can be easily cooked, such as side dishes such as lunch boxes and noodles such as udon and soba, have been distributed and the demand for these stored frozen and stored products has been increasing. . For this reason, the proportion of these frozen foods stored in a refrigerator-freezer (hereinafter abbreviated as a refrigerator) is also increasing.
[0003]
In this case, the storage room of the refrigerator, for example, the freezing room, is constituted by a drawer-type container, for example, with respect to the refrigerator main body, and the goods are appropriately accommodated in the container. In addition, a configuration is also adopted in which a partition plate is provided to form a storage section for small articles. (For example, Patent Document 1).
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-8-170873
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Here, consumers will place purchased frozen foods in suitable free places in containers in the freezer, but as the number of containers increases, they stack them vertically and organize them. .
[0006]
However, although many foods are almost of a standard size (for example, about 20 cm in height and width), the container is not designed to partition the inside, so it is necessary to store it in one large room. If it is stored in a stack, it will collapse due to the shock at the time of putting in and out, making it impossible to obtain a stable stock, or because it is stacked vertically, it is difficult to check the items underneath, and you can take out the necessary items There was a problem that it was difficult to do. In addition, due to the vertical stacking, there is a problem in that the cold air does not hit the articles located therebetween, and uniform cooling is not performed.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and enables a partition plate to be slidably installed in a storage chamber, and allows a partition to be formed by changing the size of the chamber in an arbitrary set position without any step. By arranging items vertically in a room corresponding to the size of the items to be stored, the necessary items can be easily taken in and out, stable stock and uniform cooling can be achieved. The purpose of this is to provide a storage room.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage case provided in a storage room formed in a main body of a refrigerator, and a storage case having a predetermined width formed in a substantially central region of an inner bottom surface of the storage case. A concave groove, a mounting plate fitted at the lower end on both sides with the concave groove, and a partition plate that is detachably and slidably mounted on the concave groove via the mounting leg; Thus, a partition can be formed inside the storage case at an arbitrary position.

An auxiliary mounting plate for fixing and holding the position is provided, so that the partitioning plate can partition and form the inside of the storage case at an arbitrary position.
[0010]
The opposite edge of the concave groove is formed as a wall surface inclined inward.
[0011]
Further, the tip of the mounting foot of the partition plate that is in sliding contact with the edge of the concave groove is formed in a round shape.
[0012]
Further, the auxiliary mounting plate is provided with a plurality of fitting grooves to be fitted to the partition plate from above, and the auxiliary mounting plate is selectively fitted to the partition plate and the fitting groove and partitioned in the fitted state. The auxiliary mounting plate is configured so as to be movably assembled to the plate, and the auxiliary mounting plate further partitions the two chambers separated by the partition plate at an arbitrary position.
[0013]
A stopper plate having a plurality of insertion grooves into which support portions are formed at upper ends of both ends of the auxiliary mounting plate so as to be fitted from above to both side edges of the auxiliary mounting plate provided with the support portions. Is provided on the opposed inner side wall of the storage case, and the auxiliary mounting plate is selectively fitted into the insertion groove and placed on the upper edge of the insertion groove of the support portion at the time of the fitting. The auxiliary mounting plate is mounted and fixed in the storage case.
[0014]
The partition plate has a length substantially equal to the inner width of the storage case in the partition direction.
[0015]
Further, the partition plate is shorter than the inner width of the storage case in the partition direction, and has such a length as to leave an elongated chamber which is not fully partitioned in a region deviating from the position of the partition plate.
[0016]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0017]
Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator main body, which has a plurality of storage rooms divided from a top, for example, a refrigerator room 2, a vegetable room 3, a chilled room 4, and a freezer room 5 by a partition wall. The refrigerating compartment 2 has a structure that can be opened and closed by two double doors 6a provided on the front opening thereof. 6b, 6b are handle portions thereof. The vegetable compartment 3, the chilled compartment 4A, and the freezing compartment 4B have a drawer structure, and have handles 7b, 8b, 9b on the front walls 7, 8, 9 thereof.
[0018]
FIG. 2 shows a storage case 10 which is separably arranged in the freezer compartment 5 and is formed of a synthetic resin, and is a box-shaped case having a width (refrigerator body width) larger than a depth (length) length. It has become. The storage case 10 has a size such that it can be pulled back and forth in the freezer compartment 5 with the handle 10b. Here, a concave groove 12 having a predetermined width d is formed in the center area of the inner bottom surface 11b of the storage case 10 in the width direction of the storage case 10.
[0019]
Reference numeral 13 denotes a partition plate which is detachably attached to the concave groove 12 and is formed of synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. And horizontal mounting feet 14a and 14b fitted on the concave grooves 12 on both sides.
[0020]
The mounting feet 14a and 14b of the partition plate 13 are fitted into the concave groove 12, and the partition plate 13 is erected and held in the storage case 10 and slidably mounted along the concave groove 12. Accordingly, the partition plate 13 can be formed into two compartments 15A and 15B in the housing case 10 at an arbitrary position where the partition plate 13 is slid and stopped and held. Since the partition plate 13 can be adjusted and attached at any position in the concave groove 12, the partition can be formed steplessly.
[0021]
The height h of the partition plate 13 can be appropriately set to be equal to or less than the height of the storage case 10, but a flat-bottom storage rack or the like is provided at the upper opening of the storage case 10 so as to cover the opening. When set, the height is set so as not to interfere with the storage rack.
[0022]
In addition, as described above, the length l of the partition plate 13 is not only the inner width in the partition direction of the storage case 10, in this case, the length substantially equal to the depth dimension of the storage case 12, but also shorter. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is also possible to use a partition plate 13b having a length m that extends toward the front of the concave groove 12 but does not extend toward the back. In the case of the partition plate 13b having a length of m, the partition plate 13b can partially partition the inside of the storage case 10 into two chambers on the left and right sides, and a narrow storage chamber 16 without a full width w partition exists in the back. Because it can be divided, you can use it to put a long thing here.
[0023]
Here, the opposing edges of the concave groove 12 are formed not as vertical wall surfaces but as tapered edges 12k, 12k with an obtuse angle θ that incline downward as shown in FIG. 7B. As described above, if the edge of the concave groove 12 is not the angular edge 12j as shown in FIG. 7A but the edges 12k, 12k with smooth edges, dust hardly accumulates on the edge. Further, if the concave groove 12 has no dust at the corner, there is no problem in sliding the partition plate 13. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the tips of the mounting feet 14a, 14b of the partition plate 13, which is the mating member, which comes into sliding contact with the edges 12k, 12k of the concave groove 12, are chamfered in an up-and-down R-shape, and a rounded tip edge 17 is formed. To With the tip edges 17 of the mounting feet 14a, 14b having rounded corners as described above, the sliding resistance with the edges 12k, 12k of the tapered groove is reduced, and the partition plate 13 can be moved smoothly. Will be able to
[0024]
The mounting feet 14a and 14b of the partition plate 13 have a thickness that matches the depth of the concave groove 12 so as to be flush with the inner bottom surface 11b of the storage case 10, and the length of the feet is such that the partition plate does not fall. The length may be such that it can be stably held, and the mounting feet may be the same length on both sides, or the other may be the long foot 14a and one may be the short mounting foot 14b.
[0025]
In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, in the partition plate 13 of the mounting feet 14a and 14b having different lengths as in the embodiment, the concave grooves 12 are formed so that the short mounting feet 14b face the side wall 10c of the housing case 10. When the partition plate 13 is not used, the partition plate 13 can be moved to the corner when not in use, and can be inserted into the storage case 10 without significantly reducing the internal volume of the storage case 10. You don't have to worry about worrying about loss.
[0026]
Further, the partition plate 13 partitioned at an appropriate position is assembled orthogonally to the partition plate 13 so as to be securely fixed and held so as not to move back and forth, having a shape as shown in FIGS. An auxiliary mounting plate 18 having a length substantially equal to the width of the storage case is provided. The auxiliary mounting plate 18 is formed with a plurality of fitting grooves 19 cut at equal intervals upward from the lower edge. Accordingly, by moving the partition plate 13 in the concave groove 12 and fitting the corresponding fitting groove 19 of the auxiliary mounting plate 18 from above at the partition position where the partition plate 13 is stopped, the partition plate 13 is assembled with the partition plate 13 in a cross shape. The movement of the groove 13 in the direction of the concave groove 12 (width direction of the case) is restricted, and the groove 13 is held and fixed at a set position.
