Description

  The present invention relates to a damper mounting structure that suppresses an impact when closing a door of a storage unit, and more particularly, to a technique that can reduce the influence of the damper and widen the opening of the storage unit to effectively put in and out stored items. .

  Conventionally, when the door of the storage unit is closed, an impact force and an impact sound are generated by the door, so that there is a problem that it is annoying and affects the durability of the storage unit.

  A method for solving such a problem is disclosed in Patent Document 1. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the storage unit 12 of Patent Document 1 includes a storage unit main body 1 and a door 2, and the storage unit main body 1 has a box shape including a top plate 1a, a side plate 1b, and a bottom plate 1c. . Here, the frontage width T of the storage unit main body 1 and the frontage height H between the top plate 1 a and the intermediate shelf 11.

  The door 2 is connected to the storage unit main body 1 through two sets of hinges 9a and 9b. The damper mounting structure 5 includes a latch body 6 that is integrally provided with a damper 3 that is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 1a of the storage unit main body 1 and a damper receiving projection 4 that is integrally provided on the door 2 side. Part 7.

  The upper surface portion of the housing 6a of the latch body 6 is fixed to the bottom surface portion of the housing 3a (height H2) of the damper 3, and the upper surface portion of the housing 3a of the damper 3 is a lower surface of the top plate 1a of the storage unit body 1 by a fixed boss 10. Fixed to. The entire latch body 6 protrudes from the lower surface of the top plate 1a at a height H1.

The damper 3 is formed in a rod shape, and when the door 2 is opened, the tip of the damper 3 is in a position that is inward of the front of the opening of the storage unit main body 1 as indicated by a virtual line. When closed, the damper 2 is pushed in the direction of the arrow Q by the damper projection 4 on the door 2 side and retracts to the position indicated by the solid line. The retraction of the damper 3 can suppress the impact of the door 2 when the door 2 is closed. However, since the damper 3 is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 1a of the storage unit main body 1, for example, when storing box-shaped items. Since the height H between the top plate 1a and the intermediate shelf 11 is substantially reduced by the latch body 6, the effective height H3 = H−H1. Therefore, there is a problem that the storage volume is reduced by (H1 / Hx100)%.

In order to solve this problem, as shown in FIG. 5, there has been devised a method in which the damper 3 is attached to the hinge 9a via the housing 3b. The height of the housing 3b is the same as the height H2 of the housing 3a.
JP 2005-180050 A

  However, even in this method, the height H2 of the housing 3b that holds the damper 3 is added to the height T1 of the hinge 9a. Therefore, when storing a box-shaped article, the width T between the side plates 1b and 1b is effective. The frontage width T3 = T−T2 and T2 = T1 + H2. For this reason, as compared with the case of only the hinge 9a, there is still a problem that the delivered volume is reduced by {H2 / (T−T1) × 100}%.

Therefore, the same effect as that of the invention of claim 1 can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the following description, the same parts as those shown in FIGS.

<Configuration of damper mounting structure>
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the damper mounting structure 20 of the present invention has a configuration in which a damper 3 that suppresses the impact of the door 2 is attached to the storage unit body 1 in the storage unit 12 including the storage unit body 1 and the door 2. It is.

  The storage unit main body 1 has a box shape formed of a top plate 1a, a side plate 1b, and a bottom plate 1c, and an adjuster 15 for adjusting the installation height of the storage unit 12 is provided below the bottom plate 1c. Further, a single intermediate shelf 11 is provided at a substantially central portion of the storage unit body 1 in the height direction, and the storage unit body 1 is formed with an opening width T and an opening height H between the top plate 1 a and the intermediate shelf 11. . Here, the intermediate shelf 11 is not fixed, and the vertical position can be adjusted by moving a support for the intermediate shelf 11 through a plurality of mounting holes (not shown) provided in the side plate 1b.

  Two sets of hinges 9a and 9b for opening and closing the door 2 are provided above and below one side plate 1b, and the door 2 is connected to the storage unit main body 1 through the hinges 9a and 9b. Note that the two sets of hinges 9a and 9b incorporate an elastic body such as a spring and have a force that always pulls the door 2 in the closing direction.

  The damper 3 provided on the side plate 1b is held by the housing 3b and is provided in the vicinity of the upper hinge 9a in a region surrounded by the upper hinge 9a and the top plate 1a. The protrusion height H2 of the damper 3 from the side plate 1b including the housing 3b is formed so as not to exceed the protrusion height T1 of the upper hinge 9a (H2 ≦ T1).

  The damper 3 is formed in a rod shape, and the tip of the damper 3 is located slightly ahead of the front surface of the opening of the storage unit main body 1 when the door 2 is opened, and is pushed back by the door 2 when the door 2 is closed. Thus, the impact of the door 2 is absorbed.

The material of the damper 3 is not particularly limited as long as it closes the door 2 and attenuates the impact. For example, the front end portion is formed of an elastic material such as rubber, and the rear end portion absorbs shock and fluid. A material with resistance, air resistance, etc. is placed.
If the impact of the door 2 is not so great, a damper pad may be omitted on the door 2 side. Preferably, a damper pad (not shown) is provided in a region on the door 2 where the damper 3 abuts. Is provided.

<Operation of damper mounting structure>
As described above, since the relationship between the height T1 of the hinge 9a and the height H2 of the housing 3b holding the damper 3 is H2 ≦ T1, the housing 3b does not protrude to the inside of the storage unit body 1 from the hinge 9a. For this reason, the effective frontage width T of the frontage width T between the side plates 1b in the case of storing a box-shaped article is T4 = T−T1, which is the same as the state of the hinge 9a alone. For this reason, the storage volume is the same as before the damper 3 is attached.

  For this reason, since the dead space by the damper 3 can be narrowed, the frontage can be kept wide without being influenced by the damper 3, so that the stored items can be taken in and out effectively.

  Since the damper 3 is not disposed between the hinge 9a and the hinge 9b, the intermediate shelf 11 can be provided at an arbitrary position between the hinge 9a and the hinge 9b, so that the convenience in attaching the intermediate shelf is increased.

  Further, the two sets of hinges 9a and 9b incorporate an elastic body such as a spring and have a force for always pulling the door 2 in the closing direction, and the damper 3 is disposed on the hinge 9a side. As a result, the stroke required for the damper 3 can be shortened, and the time for holding the damper effect with a constant force can be increased from when the damper 3 contacts the door until the door is completely closed. The impact sound can be reduced without stopping instantaneously.

  For this reason, the durability of the damper is also improved. Further, since the stroke can be afforded as much as the effective stroke of the damper 3 can be shortened, fine adjustment at the time of mounting is unnecessary and workability is improved.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described based on drawing, all said Example shows an example of this invention, and it cannot be overemphasized that this invention should not be limited to these.

  For example, the damper 3 may be provided in a region between the lower hinge 9b and the bottom plate 1c. Further, two sets of upper and lower dampers 3 may be provided simultaneously. The damper 3 may be provided near the lower part of the upper hinge 9a or near the upper part of the lower hinge 9b.

It is a perspective view which shows the state of the damper attachment structure in embodiment of this invention. It is an AA arrow line view of FIG. 1 in embodiment of this invention. It is a partial section view side view which shows the state of the conventional damper attachment structure. It is a perspective view which shows the attachment state of the conventional damper attachment structure. It is a front view which shows the other conventional attachment state of the damper 3 and the housing 3b.
