Description

本発明は庫内容積の拡大と省エネを考慮した冷蔵庫に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator in consideration of expansion of the internal volume and energy saving.

近年、地球温暖化防止等の地球環境保護の観点から、冷蔵庫においても省エネルギー化が求められている。また、最近の社会背景として、共働き化や核家族化の傾向にあるため、週末の休みを利用して食材を纏め買いする家庭が増えていることから、冷蔵庫の大容量化ニーズは年々高まっている。   In recent years, from the viewpoint of global environmental protection such as prevention of global warming, energy saving is also demanded for refrigerators. In addition, as the recent social background tends to work together and become a nuclear family, the number of households buying foods on weekends is increasing, so the need for larger refrigerators is increasing year by year. Yes.

従来の冷蔵庫は、冷媒を循環するための圧縮機や、制御基板及び電源基板等の電気部品を有しており、これらは冷蔵庫を運転することによって自己発熱して温度上昇するものである。   A conventional refrigerator has a compressor for circulating a refrigerant, and electric parts such as a control board and a power supply board, and these are self-heated and rise in temperature when the refrigerator is operated.

例えば、図5は特許文献1に示された従来の冷蔵庫を示す断面図であり、天板,後板103からなる外箱102と合成樹脂製の内箱105と断熱材106で構成された冷蔵庫箱体101において、外箱102の天面部後方に設けた切欠き部に、天面と背面に開放した箱状をなす箱体104を設けて、制御基板等の電気部品107を収納し、鋼板製の閉塞板108で塞いだものがある。この発明によれば、天面後方部に天面と背面に開放した箱状をなす箱体104を設けることで、自己発熱の大きい電気部品の使用が可能となり、電気部品の選択範囲が広がったとしている。   For example, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional refrigerator disclosed in Patent Document 1, which is composed of an outer box 102 made of a top plate and a rear plate 103, an inner box 105 made of synthetic resin, and a heat insulating material 106. In the box body 101, a box-like box body 104 that is open on the top surface and the back surface is provided in a notch portion provided on the rear side of the top surface portion of the outer box 102, and an electrical component 107 such as a control board is accommodated therein. Some of them are closed with a closing plate 108 made of metal. According to the present invention, by providing the box 104 having a box shape open to the top surface and the back surface at the rear portion of the top surface, it becomes possible to use electric components having large self-heating, and the selection range of the electric components has been expanded. It is said.

また、図6は特許文献2に示された冷蔵庫を示す断面図、図7は箱体212の天面後方部に配置した基板部分の断面拡大図を示したものである。外箱213と、内箱214と、外箱213と内箱214の間に充填した断熱材215とを含んでなる箱体212を備えた冷蔵庫であり、箱体212の天井壁212aと背面壁212bが交差する角部の外箱213を断熱材側に後退させた後退部212cが形成されており、後退部である箱体212とその近くの天井壁212a上に制御基板220が配置され、制御基板220を覆うようにカバー225が設けられている。このとき、天井壁212aと内箱214、後退部である箱体212と内箱214、及び背面壁212bと内箱214、それぞれの間の断熱厚t1,t2、及びt3はほぼ同じ厚さに設定されているため、制御基板の発熱による庫内への熱侵入を抑制したとしている。   FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the refrigerator disclosed in Patent Document 2, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a substrate portion arranged at the rear portion of the top surface of the box 212. The refrigerator includes a box body 212 including an outer box 213, an inner box 214, and a heat insulating material 215 filled between the outer box 213 and the inner box 214, and a ceiling wall 212 a and a rear wall of the box body 212. A receding portion 212c is formed by receding the outer box 213 at the corner where 212b intersects toward the heat insulating material, and the control board 220 is arranged on the box body 212 which is the receding portion and the ceiling wall 212a in the vicinity thereof, A cover 225 is provided so as to cover the control board 220. At this time, the heat insulation thicknesses t1, t2, and t3 between the ceiling wall 212a and the inner box 214, the receding box body 212 and the inner box 214, and the back wall 212b and the inner box 214 are substantially the same. Because it is set, heat penetration into the cabinet due to heat generation of the control board is suppressed.

また、特許文献3は真空断熱材に関するものであり、繊維材料がバインダーを用いて成形された芯材と外被材からなる真空断熱材において、真空断熱材を作製した後に、金型プレス等による溝を形成したものであるが、冷蔵庫の冷媒配管の配設に合わせて溝を設けることで、冷媒配管を覆うように真空断熱材を配置できるため、真空断熱材の被覆率が向上し、消費電力量を低減する効果が得られたというものである。   Further, Patent Document 3 relates to a vacuum heat insulating material. In a vacuum heat insulating material made of a core material and a jacket material whose fiber material is formed using a binder, after the vacuum heat insulating material is manufactured, a die press or the like is used. The groove is formed, but by providing the groove according to the refrigerant pipe arrangement of the refrigerator, the vacuum heat insulating material can be arranged so as to cover the refrigerant pipe, so that the coverage of the vacuum heat insulating material is improved and consumed. The effect of reducing the amount of electric power is obtained.

特許文献4に示される真空断熱材は、無機繊維からなるシート状成形体からなる芯材をガスバリヤ性フィルムで覆って内部を減圧密封したもので、芯材部分に溝を設けて、この溝部で折り曲げを行うというもので、平坦部分以外の複数の面に亘って配置できるため、真空断熱材の被覆率が増加し、冷蔵庫等の断熱性能を向上させることができるというものである。   The vacuum heat insulating material shown in Patent Document 4 is a material in which a core material made of a sheet-like molded body made of inorganic fibers is covered with a gas barrier film and the inside is sealed under reduced pressure. A groove is provided in the core material portion. Since it is bent and can be arranged over a plurality of surfaces other than the flat part, the coverage of the vacuum heat insulating material is increased and the heat insulating performance of a refrigerator or the like can be improved.

特許文献1の冷蔵庫は、自己発熱部品の放熱性を向上させているが、外箱102の天面部後方に設けた切欠き部に、天面と背面に開放した箱状をなす箱体104を設けて、制御基板等の電気部品107を収納しているため、箱体104と内箱105の間の断熱厚が薄くなり、自己発熱部品による庫内への熱漏洩が大きくなり、断熱性能が悪化することについての配慮が不足している構造となっていた。   Although the refrigerator of patent document 1 is improving the heat dissipation of a self-heating component, the box body 104 which makes the box shape open | released to the top | upper surface and the back surface in the notch part provided in the back | upper surface part of the outer box 102 is provided. Since the electrical component 107 such as the control board is housed, the heat insulation thickness between the box body 104 and the inner box 105 is reduced, the heat leakage into the cabinet due to the self-heating component is increased, and the heat insulation performance is improved. It was a structure that lacked consideration for deterioration.

特許文献2の冷蔵庫は、天井壁212aと内箱214、後退部である箱体212と内箱214、及び背面壁212bと内箱214の断熱厚t1,t2、及びt3をほぼ同じ厚さに設定したことで、特許文献1の課題であった制御基板の発熱による庫内への熱侵入等の熱漏洩量を抑制した構造としているが、断熱厚を確保する代わりに、制御基板220とそのカバー225が天井壁212aよりも上方に突き出してしまうため、外観意匠性が損なわれるという課題があった。また、冷蔵庫全体の高さを大きくすると据付高さ等の据付性に問題が生じ、逆に低くするとその分特許文献1と同様に内容積が減少する問題があった。   In the refrigerator of Patent Document 2, the heat insulation thicknesses t1, t2, and t3 of the ceiling wall 212a and the inner box 214, the box body 212 and the inner box 214 as the retreating part, and the back wall 212b and the inner box 214 are set to substantially the same thickness. By setting, it has a structure that suppresses the amount of heat leakage such as heat intrusion into the warehouse due to heat generation of the control board, which was a problem of Patent Document 1, but instead of securing the heat insulation thickness, the control board 220 and its Since the cover 225 protrudes upward from the ceiling wall 212a, there is a problem that the appearance design is impaired. Further, when the height of the entire refrigerator is increased, there is a problem in the installation property such as the installation height. On the other hand, when the refrigerator is lowered, there is a problem that the internal volume is reduced as in the case of Patent Document 1.

特許文献3の真空断熱材は、金型プレス等による溝を形成しているため、冷蔵庫の冷媒配管等を覆うように配置できるが、溝の形成により、溝部の芯材厚みが減少するため、当該部分において断熱性能が悪化し、真空断熱材の被覆面積の割りに効果が目減りしてしまうという問題があった。また、大気圧がかかった状態の芯材に溝を金型プレス等によって加工することで、芯材の繊維材料が切断されるため、さらに断熱性能が悪化するのと、経時的な劣化が大きいという問題もあった。また、溝部と冷媒配管の周囲に空間ができてしまうため、発泡ウレタン充填時のガス溜りや、対流による冷蔵庫箱体の断熱性能を悪化させる要因の一つに上げられていた。   Since the vacuum heat insulating material of Patent Document 3 forms a groove by a die press or the like, it can be arranged so as to cover the refrigerant piping of the refrigerator, but the formation of the groove reduces the core material thickness of the groove, There was a problem in that the heat insulating performance deteriorated in the portion, and the effect diminished with respect to the coating area of the vacuum heat insulating material. Moreover, since the fiber material of the core material is cut by processing the groove in the core material in a state where atmospheric pressure is applied by a die press or the like, the heat insulation performance is further deteriorated and deterioration with time is large. There was also a problem. In addition, since a space is formed around the groove and the refrigerant pipe, it has been raised as one of the factors that deteriorate the heat accumulation performance of the refrigerator box body due to gas accumulation during foaming urethane filling or convection.

特許文献4の真空断熱材は、特許文献3と同様に芯材に溝を加工することから、芯材の厚み減少や溝部分の無機繊維が切断されること等によって断熱性能が悪化するという問題があった。   Since the vacuum heat insulating material of patent document 4 processes a groove | channel in a core material similarly to patent document 3, the heat insulation performance deteriorates by the thickness reduction of a core material, or the inorganic fiber of a groove part being cut | disconnected, etc. was there.

本発明は箱体熱漏洩量の悪化を抑制し、且つ、内容積の拡大を図った省エネ冷蔵庫を提供するものである。   The present invention provides an energy-saving refrigerator that suppresses deterioration of the amount of heat leakage from a box and increases the internal volume.

本発明は上記課題を解決するため、外箱と内箱とによって形成される空間に断熱材を配置してなる冷蔵庫において、前記外箱の一部に自己発熱部品を収納するための凹部を設け、前記凹部の断熱材側の面に真空断熱材を配置したことにより、制御基板等の自己発熱部品による庫内への熱漏洩を抑制するものである。自己発熱部品のサイズによっては、前記凹部の深さが大きくなることがあり、この場合、冷蔵庫箱体の断熱厚が薄くなり庫内への熱漏洩が増加するため、真空断熱材を配置することで断熱性能を改善することができる。   In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a refrigerator in which a heat insulating material is disposed in a space formed by an outer box and an inner box, and a recess for storing a self-heating component is provided in a part of the outer box. By disposing a vacuum heat insulating material on the surface of the concave portion on the heat insulating material side, heat leakage into the cabinet due to a self-heating component such as a control board is suppressed. Depending on the size of the self-heating component, the depth of the recess may be increased, and in this case, the heat insulation thickness of the refrigerator box becomes thin and heat leakage into the cabinet increases, so a vacuum heat insulating material should be arranged. Insulation performance can be improved.

また、外箱と内箱とによって形成される空間に断熱材を配置し、前記外箱の天面内面に接するように配置された放熱パイプと、前記外箱天面部の背面側又は背面部に制御基板や電源基板等の電気部品,圧縮機等の自己発熱部品等のいずれか又は両方を収納するための凹部を設けた冷蔵庫において、前記放熱パイプと前記凹部の内箱側投影面の一部に真空断熱材を位置させたことにより、放熱のために天面部に配置した放熱パイプによる庫内への熱漏洩を抑制すると共に、外箱の天井方向への放熱性を向上させる効果が得られるものである。この他、自己発熱部品からの庫内への熱漏洩も大幅に低減することができる。   Further, a heat insulating material is disposed in a space formed by the outer box and the inner box, and a heat radiating pipe disposed so as to be in contact with the inner surface of the outer box, and a rear side or a rear part of the outer box top surface portion. In the refrigerator provided with a recess for storing either or both of an electrical component such as a control board and a power supply board, a self-heating component such as a compressor, etc., a part of the projection surface of the heat radiation pipe and the inner box side of the recess By placing the vacuum heat insulating material on the top, it is possible to suppress the heat leakage into the cabinet by the heat radiating pipe arranged on the top surface for heat radiation, and to improve the heat radiation performance toward the ceiling of the outer box Is. In addition, heat leakage from the self-heating component into the cabinet can be greatly reduced.

また、前記凹部が不燃性を有する合成樹脂材料から成る成形品としたことにより、冷蔵庫の外箱に設けた切欠きに嵌めるだけの構造とすることができ、組み立て性を向上させることができる。また、前記自己発熱部品から発する熱を庫内方向に伝えにくくしている。   In addition, since the concave portion is a molded product made of a non-combustible synthetic resin material, it can have a structure that only fits into a notch provided in the outer box of the refrigerator, and the assemblability can be improved. Further, it is difficult to transfer heat generated from the self-heating component in the direction of the interior.

また、前記真空断熱材が前記凹部と鋼板部分に跨るように配置したものであるから、前記合成樹脂材料からなる成形品の補強の役割を果たすだけでなく、発泡ウレタン充填時に前記合成樹脂材料からなる成形品と鋼板からなる外箱との勘合部からのウレタン洩れを防止することができる。前記凹部とその近傍の外箱である鋼板部には段差が生じるため、真空断熱材はこの段差に跨って配置される立体的な形状となるため、これがウレタン流動の案内板的な役割を果たす。また、発泡ウレタン充填の際に発熱するウレタンの反応熱による前記合成樹脂部材の変形を防止できるものである。本来、前記凹部に合成樹脂材料からなる成形品を使用した目的は、放熱パイプを配置した鋼板と熱的に絶縁することと、鋼板との組み立て性が良好であること、自己発熱部品からの庫内への熱漏洩防止のため熱伝導性を低くすること、それに電気的な絶縁をするためである。ウレタン発泡時の反応熱温度は100〜130℃になる部分もあるため、場合によっては樹脂部が熱により変形する場合がある。通常、合成樹脂材料を用いる場合、凹部の裏面(断熱材側)にリブ等を設けて熱的,強度的に補強するものであるが、真空断熱材を配置することで合成樹脂材料の熱変形温度まで至らないためリブ等が不要となる。また、万一、電源基板等が何らかの原因で出火した場合でも、金属性のカバーを設けているため外部には延焼することは無く、前記凹部が不燃性を有する合成樹脂材料からなるため、燃え広がることは無い。前記凹部の裏面(断熱材側)に配置した真空断熱材についても無機繊維を芯材としているため、基本的に燃えないため、被害を最小限に抑えることができるものである。   In addition, since the vacuum heat insulating material is disposed so as to straddle the concave portion and the steel plate portion, not only serves to reinforce the molded product made of the synthetic resin material, but also from the synthetic resin material at the time of filling with urethane foam. It is possible to prevent urethane leakage from the fitting portion between the formed product and the outer box made of steel plate. Since there is a step in the steel plate portion, which is the outer box in the vicinity of the concave portion, the vacuum heat insulating material has a three-dimensional shape arranged across the step, and this serves as a guide plate for urethane flow . In addition, the synthetic resin member can be prevented from being deformed by the reaction heat of urethane that generates heat during filling with urethane foam. Originally, the purpose of using a molded product made of a synthetic resin material in the concave portion is to thermally insulate from the steel plate on which the heat radiating pipe is arranged, to have good assemblability with the steel plate, and from the self-heating parts. This is to lower the thermal conductivity and prevent electrical insulation in order to prevent heat leakage into the inside. Since the reaction heat temperature at the time of urethane foaming may be 100 to 130 ° C., the resin part may be deformed by heat in some cases. Normally, when synthetic resin material is used, ribs etc. are provided on the back surface (insulating material side) of the recess to reinforce it thermally and strongly. However, thermal deformation of the synthetic resin material can be achieved by placing a vacuum heat insulating material. Ribs are not required because the temperature is not reached. Even if the power supply board breaks out for some reason, it does not spread to the outside because it is provided with a metallic cover, and the recess is made of a non-flammable synthetic resin material. It does not spread. The vacuum heat insulating material disposed on the back surface (the heat insulating material side) of the concave portion also uses inorganic fibers as the core material, and therefore does not basically burn, so damage can be minimized.

また、前記真空断熱材が、少なくとも無機繊維からなる芯材とガスバリヤ性の外包材からなり、前記芯材の厚みを6〜15mmとしたものであるから、前記不燃性を有する合成樹脂材料からなる成形品のウレタン発泡時の熱による変形を押さえることができ、前述の通り、補強用のリブを除去でき、部品形状の簡略化が図れる。また、前記芯材の厚みが最低6mmあれば冷蔵庫の断熱性能を確保できるものである。尚、前記芯材の厚みが15mmを超えるものについても使用可能であるが、発泡ウレタン充填時のウレタンの流動空間が狭くなってしまう場合があるため好ましくない。   In addition, the vacuum heat insulating material is made of at least a core material made of inorganic fibers and a gas barrier outer packaging material, and the core material has a thickness of 6 to 15 mm, and thus made of the nonflammable synthetic resin material. The deformation due to heat at the time of urethane foaming of the molded product can be suppressed, and as described above, the reinforcing rib can be removed, and the shape of the part can be simplified. Further, if the thickness of the core material is at least 6 mm, the heat insulating performance of the refrigerator can be secured. In addition, although it can be used also about the thickness of the said core material exceeding 15 mm, since the flow space of urethane at the time of foaming urethane filling may become narrow, it is not preferable.

また、外箱と内箱とによって形成される空間に断熱材を配置し、前記外箱の天面部内面に放熱パイプと、前記外箱の天面背面側又は背面部に自己発熱部品とを配置した冷蔵庫において、
前記放熱パイプ及び前記自己発熱部品の投影面の一部に真空断熱材を配置したものであるから、前述と同様の効果が得られる。
Further, a heat insulating material is disposed in a space formed by the outer box and the inner box, and a heat radiating pipe is disposed on the inner surface of the top surface of the outer box, and a self-heating component is disposed on the rear surface or rear surface of the outer box. In the refrigerator
Since a vacuum heat insulating material is disposed on a part of the projection surface of the heat radiating pipe and the self-heating component, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

また、前記真空断熱材は、少なくとも柔軟性を有する無機繊維積層体を合成樹脂フィルムからなる内袋で覆って圧縮密封した芯材と、少なくとも熱溶着層に、ガスバリヤ膜を成膜した合成樹脂フィルムを2層以上組み合わせたラミネートフィルムを、前記熱溶着層同士を向かい合わせて端部を溶着した外包材とで構成し、前記内袋の耳部を前記外包材の耳部内に配置させ、前記外包材の内部を、前記内袋の密封を解除した後に減圧して封止したものであるから、芯材が繊維同士の結合やバインダ等による硬化層が無いため前述の立体的な形状を比較的容易につくることができる。例えば、特許文献4のように無機繊維をシート状成形体とした芯材を曲げ成形するためには、曲げの基点となる溝の加工を必要としていたが、本発明の前記真空断熱材は芯材が成形されていないので柔軟性を有しており、容易にL曲げや略Z曲げ、或いは部分的に凹部と凸部が一対となるような形状も比較的容易に成形することができる。曲げ部に溝等の加工をしないため、芯材厚みが薄くなる部分が発生しないため、断熱性能の悪化部分が無い。これらの立体形状に成形する方法及び手段としては、自動機折り曲げ機や治具等の使用,成形用型内で真空成形する等、種々あるが、特に方法や手段を限定するものでは無い。   The vacuum heat insulating material includes a core material compressed and sealed by covering at least a flexible inorganic fiber laminate with an inner bag made of a synthetic resin film, and a synthetic resin film having a gas barrier film formed on at least a heat-welded layer. A laminated film composed of two or more layers, and an outer packaging material in which the heat-welding layers are faced to each other and the end portions are welded, and the ear portion of the inner bag is disposed in the ear portion of the outer packaging material, Since the inside of the material is sealed by reducing the pressure after releasing the sealing of the inner bag, since the core material has no hardened layer due to bonding between fibers or a binder, the above three-dimensional shape is relatively It can be made easily. For example, as described in Patent Document 4, in order to bend a core material in which inorganic fibers are formed into a sheet-like molded body, it is necessary to process a groove serving as a base point of bending. However, the vacuum heat insulating material of the present invention is a core material. Since the material is not molded, it has flexibility, and can easily be molded into an L-bending, a substantially Z-bending, or a shape in which a concave portion and a convex portion are partially paired. Since a groove or the like is not processed in the bent portion, there is no portion where the core material thickness is reduced, and there is no portion where the heat insulation performance is deteriorated. There are various methods and means for forming these three-dimensional shapes, such as the use of an automatic folding machine or jig, vacuum forming in a forming mold, etc., but the method and means are not particularly limited.

尚、本発明の中で、前記自己発熱部品とは、制御基板や電源基板等の電気部品,圧縮機の他に、凝縮器,放熱パイプ等、冷蔵庫の運転時に温度上昇して高い温度になる部品を示すが、特にこれらに限定するものではない。   In the present invention, the self-heating component means that the temperature rises to a high temperature during operation of the refrigerator such as a condenser, a heat radiating pipe, etc., in addition to an electric component such as a control board and a power supply board, and a compressor. Although parts are shown, it is not limited to these.

本発明によれば、制御基板等の電気部品や放熱パイプ等の発熱する部材から庫内に侵入する熱を抑制できると共に、制御基板等の電気部品の配置によって、箱体の断熱厚が薄くなっても、庫内容積を犠牲にして断熱厚を稼がなくても断熱性能を維持可能であるから、内容積効率と省エネ性の高い冷蔵庫を提供できる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress heat entering the interior from a heat generating member such as an electric component such as a control board or a heat radiating pipe, and the heat insulation thickness of the box is reduced by the arrangement of the electric parts such as the control board. However, since the heat insulation performance can be maintained without increasing the heat insulation thickness at the expense of the internal volume, it is possible to provide a refrigerator with high internal volume efficiency and high energy efficiency.

以下、本発明の実施形態について、図1〜図4を用いて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

また、冷蔵庫の冷蔵室14,冷凍室15a,15b,野菜室16等の各室を所定の温度に冷却するために冷凍室15a,15bの背側には冷却器18が備えられており、この冷却器18と圧縮機20とを含み図示しない凝縮機,キャピラリーチューブとを接続し、冷凍サイクルを構成している。冷却器18の上方にはこの冷却器18にて冷却された冷気を冷蔵庫内に循環して所定の低温温度を保持する送風機17が配設されている。   In addition, a refrigerator 18 is provided on the back side of the freezer compartments 15a and 15b to cool the refrigerator compartment 14, the freezer compartments 15a and 15b, the vegetable compartment 16 and the like to a predetermined temperature. A refrigeration cycle is configured by connecting a condenser and a capillary tube (not shown) including the cooler 18 and the compressor 20. Above the cooler 18, a blower 17 that circulates cold air cooled by the cooler 18 in the refrigerator and maintains a predetermined low temperature is disposed.

また、冷蔵庫の冷蔵室14と冷凍室15a及び冷凍室15bと野菜室16を区画する断熱材として、それぞれ断熱仕切り21,22を配置し、発泡ポリスチレン23と真空断熱材40で構成されている。この断熱仕切り21,22については硬質ウレタンフォーム等の発泡断熱材13を充填しても良く、特に発泡ポリスチレン23と真空断熱材40に限定するものではない。   Further, as the heat insulating material for partitioning the refrigerator compartment 14, the freezer compartment 15 a, the freezer compartment 15 b, and the vegetable compartment 16 of the refrigerator, heat insulating partitions 21 and 22 are arranged, respectively, and are configured by the expanded polystyrene 23 and the vacuum heat insulating material 40. The heat insulating partitions 21 and 22 may be filled with a foam heat insulating material 13 such as rigid urethane foam, and are not particularly limited to the foamed polystyrene 23 and the vacuum heat insulating material 40.

また、前記内箱12の天面の一部に、断熱材13側に突き出したケース35aを有する庫内灯35を配置し、冷蔵庫の扉を開けたときの庫内を明るく、見えやすくしたものである。庫内灯35については、電球,蛍光灯,キセノンランプ等、特に限定するものではない。庫内灯35の配置により、ケース35aと外箱11との間の断熱材13の厚さが薄くなってしまうため、真空断熱材40を配置して断熱性能を確保している。   In addition, an interior lamp 35 having a case 35a protruding toward the heat insulating material 13 is arranged on a part of the top surface of the inner box 12, so that the interior when the refrigerator door is opened is bright and easy to see. It is. The interior lamp 35 is not particularly limited, such as a light bulb, a fluorescent lamp, or a xenon lamp. Since the thickness of the heat insulating material 13 between the case 35a and the outer box 11 becomes thin due to the arrangement of the interior lamp 35, the vacuum heat insulating material 40 is arranged to ensure the heat insulating performance.

また、箱体10の天面後方部には冷蔵庫の運転を制御するための基板や電源基板等の電気部品31を収納するための凹部30が形成されており、電気部品31を覆うカバー32が設けられている。カバー32の高さは外観意匠性と内容積確保を考慮して、外箱11の天面とほぼ同じ高さになるように配置している。特に限定するものではないが、カバー32の高さが外箱の天面よりも突き出る場合は10mm以内の範囲に収めることが望ましい。これに伴って、凹部30は断熱材13側に電気部品31を収納する空間だけ凹んだ状態で配置されるため、内容積確保の観点から、必然的に凹部30と内箱12間の断熱材13の厚さが薄くなってしまう。このため、凹部30の断熱材13側の面に真空断熱材40を配置して断熱性能を確保、強化している。実施の形態1では、真空断熱材40を前述の庫内灯35のケース35aと電気部品31に跨るように略Z形状に成形した1枚の真空断熱材とした。尚、前記カバー32は外部からのもらい火や何らかの原因で発火した場合等を考慮し鋼板製としている。   Moreover, the recessed part 30 for accommodating electrical components 31, such as a board | substrate for controlling the operation | movement of a refrigerator, and a power supply board, is formed in the top-surface rear part of the box 10, and the cover 32 which covers the electrical component 31 is formed. Is provided. The height of the cover 32 is arranged so as to be substantially the same as the top surface of the outer box 11 in consideration of appearance design and securing the internal volume. Although it does not specifically limit, when the height of the cover 32 protrudes from the top | upper surface of an outer case, it is desirable to set it in the range within 10 mm. In connection with this, since the recessed part 30 is arrange | positioned in the state which only the space which accommodates the electrical component 31 in the heat insulating material 13 side is dented, from a viewpoint of ensuring internal volume, inevitably the heat insulating material between the recessed part 30 and the inner box 12 is provided. The thickness of 13 will become thin. For this reason, the vacuum heat insulating material 40 is arrange | positioned in the surface at the side of the heat insulating material 13 of the recessed part 30, and the heat insulation performance is ensured and strengthened. In the first embodiment, the vacuum heat insulating material 40 is a single vacuum heat insulating material formed in a substantially Z shape so as to straddle the case 35a of the interior lamp 35 and the electrical component 31 described above. The cover 32 is made of a steel plate in consideration of fire from the outside or ignition for some reason.

ここで、実施の形態1における真空断熱材40の配置について図2を用いて説明する。図2は図1におけるA部の拡大断面図である。実施の形態1では図2に示すよう、外箱11の天面部内面に放熱パイプ50をアルミテープ50aで固定した箱体10を用いた。凹部30の断熱材13側の面と放熱パイプ50に跨るように真空断熱材40を略Z形状になるように曲げ成形し、柔軟性と断熱性を有する粘着部材52を介して貼り付けている。本実施の形態1では、放熱パイプ50や電気部品31を配置した凹部30等の高温部側に近い部分で断熱することで、庫内への熱漏洩をより低減しているが、特にこの配置に限定するものではない。   Here, the arrangement of the vacuum heat insulating material 40 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion A in FIG. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the box body 10 in which the heat radiating pipe 50 is fixed to the inner surface of the top surface portion of the outer box 11 with the aluminum tape 50 a is used. The vacuum heat insulating material 40 is bent and formed into a substantially Z shape so as to straddle the surface of the concave portion 30 on the heat insulating material 13 side and the heat radiating pipe 50, and is pasted through an adhesive member 52 having flexibility and heat insulating properties. . In the first embodiment, heat leakage to the interior is further reduced by heat insulation at a portion near the high temperature portion such as the concave portion 30 where the heat radiating pipe 50 and the electric component 31 are arranged. It is not limited to.

真空断熱材40の詳細は後述するが、芯材にバインダーを使用していないので柔軟性を有しており、溝等の加工をしなくても容易に折り曲げることができる。芯材がバインダーにより一定の厚さに成形されている場合、多くの場合芯材表面にバインダー濃度が高い硬化層が形成されるため、強制的に曲げた場合曲げの内側部分が座屈してしまい、芯材厚みの減少や芯材が切断状態になる等、断熱性能の悪化を招いてしまう。本実施の形態1の芯材は、柔軟性と共に大気圧に対する反発力が大きいため、曲げの内側部分に座屈が発生しないため、曲げ部における芯材厚みの減少は無い。このため断熱性能を悪化させることなく、折り曲げ形状が得られるものである。尚、本実施の形態1では曲げ用の治具を用いて2回曲げを行って略Z形状を得たが、曲げ加工の方法については特にこれに限定されるものではない。また、本実施の形態1では、真空断熱材40を曲げ成形して立体形状にしたものを1枚配置しているが、組立て性やハンドリング性を考慮した場合、真空断熱材40を2枚或いは複数枚に分割してもよい。しかしこの場合、外被材を伝わる熱(ヒートブリッジ)影響によって、断熱性能が悪化するため、芯材面積を大きくとることが重要である。   Although details of the vacuum heat insulating material 40 will be described later, since a binder is not used for the core material, the vacuum heat insulating material 40 has flexibility and can be easily folded without processing a groove or the like. When the core material is molded to a certain thickness with a binder, a hardened layer with a high binder concentration is often formed on the surface of the core material. Further, the heat insulation performance is deteriorated, for example, the thickness of the core material is reduced or the core material is cut. Since the core material of the first embodiment has a large repulsive force against the atmospheric pressure as well as flexibility, buckling does not occur in the inner part of the bend, so there is no decrease in the core material thickness at the bent part. Therefore, a bent shape can be obtained without deteriorating the heat insulation performance. In the first embodiment, bending is performed twice using a bending jig to obtain a substantially Z shape, but the bending method is not particularly limited to this. In the first embodiment, one piece of the vacuum heat insulating material 40 which is bent and formed into a three-dimensional shape is disposed. However, in consideration of assembling property and handling property, two vacuum heat insulating materials 40 or It may be divided into a plurality of sheets. However, in this case, since the heat insulation performance deteriorates due to the influence of heat (heat bridge) transmitted through the jacket material, it is important to increase the core material area.

次に、実施の形態1に用いた真空断熱材40について、図3を用いてその構成を説明する。前記真空断熱材40は、芯材41と該芯材41を圧縮状態に保持するための内包材42、前記内包材42で圧縮状態に保持した芯材41を被覆するガスバリヤ層を有する外被材43、及び吸着剤44とから構成してある。該外被材43は前記真空断熱材40の両面に配置され、同じ大きさのラミネートフィルムの稜線から一定の幅の部分を熱溶着により貼り合わせた袋状で構成されている。なお、第1の実施形態において、前記芯材41についてはバインダー等で接着や結着していない無機繊維の積層体として平均繊維径4μmのグラスウールを用いた。前記芯材41については、無機系繊維材料の積層体を使用することによりアウトガスが少なくなるため、断熱性能的に有利であるが、特にこれに限定するものではなく、例えばセラミック繊維やロックウール,グラスウール以外のガラス繊維等の無機繊維等でもよい。前記芯材41の種類によっては内包材42は不要の場合もある。外被材43のラミネート構成についてはガスバリヤ性を有し、熱溶着可能であれば特に限定するものではないが、実施の形態1では、表面層,ガスバリヤ層,熱溶着層の3層構成からなるラミネートフィルムとし、表面層は吸湿性の低い樹脂フィルムに金属蒸着層を設け、ガスバリヤ層は酸素バリヤ性の高い樹脂フィルムに金属蒸着層を設け、表面層とガスバリヤ層は金属蒸着層同士が向かい合うように貼り合わせている。熱溶着層については表面層と同様に吸湿性の低いフィルムを用いた。具体的には、表面層をアルミニウム蒸着付きの二軸延伸ポリプロピレンフィルム又はアルミニウム蒸着付きの二軸延伸ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムとし、ガスバリヤ層をアルミニウム蒸着付きの二軸延伸エチレンビニルアルコール共重合体樹脂フィルム又はアルミニウム蒸着付きの二軸延伸ポリビニルアルコール樹脂フィルムとし、熱溶着層を未延伸ポリエチレンフィルム又は未延伸ポリプロピレンフィルムとした。ガスバリヤ層として金属箔や樹脂系フィルムに無機層状化合物や樹脂系ガスバリヤコート材等のガスバリヤ膜を設けたものや、熱溶着層には例えば酸素バリヤ性の高いポリブチレンテレフタレートフィルムやポリブチレンテレフタレートと他の樹脂の共押出しフィルム等を用いても良い。表面層と熱溶着層に吸湿性の低い樹脂を配置する目的は、酸素バリヤ性の高い上記のガスバリヤ層フィルムは吸湿によりガスバリヤ性が悪化するため、表面層と熱溶着層でサンドイッチしてラミネートフィルム全体の吸湿量を抑制するものである。これにより、真空断熱材40の真空排気工程においても、外被材43が持ち込む水分量が小さいため、真空排気効率が大幅に向上し、高性能化につながっている。尚、外被材43のラミネート構成については、防湿性とガスバリヤ性及び熱溶着性を有していれば特に3層構成に限定するものではない。ここで、各層のラミネートについては、2液硬化型のウレタン系接着剤を用いてドライラミネートするのが一般的であるが、特にこの方法に限定するものではなく、共押出しや熱ラミネート等による方法或いは組合せによる方法等でも良い。   Next, the structure of the vacuum heat insulating material 40 used in Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The vacuum heat insulating material 40 includes a core material 41, an inner packaging material 42 for holding the core material 41 in a compressed state, and a jacket material having a gas barrier layer that covers the core material 41 held in a compressed state by the inner packaging material 42. 43 and the adsorbent 44. The covering material 43 is disposed on both surfaces of the vacuum heat insulating material 40, and is configured in a bag shape in which portions of a certain width are bonded together by thermal welding from the ridgeline of the same size laminate film. In the first embodiment, the core material 41 is glass wool having an average fiber diameter of 4 μm as a laminate of inorganic fibers that are not bonded or bound with a binder or the like. About the said core material 41, since outgas decreases by using the laminated body of an inorganic fiber material, it is advantageous in heat insulation performance, but it is not limited to this in particular, For example, a ceramic fiber, rock wool, Inorganic fibers such as glass fibers other than glass wool may be used. Depending on the type of the core material 41, the inner packaging material 42 may be unnecessary. The laminate structure of the covering material 43 is not particularly limited as long as it has gas barrier properties and can be thermally welded. In the first embodiment, the outer layer material 43 has a three-layer structure of a surface layer, a gas barrier layer, and a heat welded layer. Laminate film, surface layer is provided with metal vapor deposition layer on resin film with low hygroscopicity, gas barrier layer is provided with metal vapor deposition layer on resin film with high oxygen barrier property, and metal vapor deposition layer faces surface layer and gas barrier layer Are pasted together. For the heat-welded layer, a film having low hygroscopicity was used as in the surface layer. Specifically, the surface layer is a biaxially stretched polypropylene film with aluminum vapor deposition or a biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film with aluminum vapor deposition, and the gas barrier layer is a biaxially stretched ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer resin film or aluminum with aluminum vapor deposition. A biaxially stretched polyvinyl alcohol resin film with vapor deposition was used, and the heat-welded layer was an unstretched polyethylene film or an unstretched polypropylene film. A gas barrier layer such as a metal foil or a resin film provided with a gas barrier film such as an inorganic layered compound or a resin gas barrier coating material, or a heat welding layer such as a polybutylene terephthalate film or polybutylene terephthalate with high oxygen barrier A co-extruded film of the above resin may be used. The purpose of placing a resin with low hygroscopicity on the surface layer and the heat-welded layer is that the above gas barrier layer film with high oxygen barrier property deteriorates due to moisture absorption. It suppresses the entire amount of moisture absorption. Thereby, also in the vacuum evacuation process of the vacuum heat insulating material 40, since the amount of moisture brought in by the jacket material 43 is small, the vacuum evacuation efficiency is greatly improved, leading to high performance. The laminate structure of the jacket material 43 is not particularly limited to a three-layer structure as long as it has moisture resistance, gas barrier properties, and heat weldability. Here, the laminate of each layer is generally dry-laminated using a two-component curable urethane adhesive, but is not particularly limited to this method, and is a method by coextrusion or thermal lamination. Alternatively, a combination method may be used.

また、内包材42については実施の形態1では熱溶着可能なポリエチレンフィルム,吸着剤44については合成ゼオライトを用いたが、いずれもこれらの材料に限定するものではない。内包材42についてはポリプロピレンフィルム,ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム,ポリブチレンテレフタレートフィルム等、吸湿性が低く熱溶着でき、アウトガスが少ないものであれば良く、吸着剤44については水分やガスを吸着するものであれば良い。   Moreover, although the polyethylene film which can be heat-welded in Embodiment 1 and the synthetic zeolite was used for the adsorbent 44 in the first embodiment, the encapsulating material 42 is not limited to these materials. The inner packaging material 42 may be a polypropylene film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, a polybutylene terephthalate film, etc., as long as it has a low hygroscopic property and can be thermally welded and has little outgas, and the adsorbent 44 may be any material that adsorbs moisture or gas. good.

以上の構成からなる実施の形態1における真空断熱材40は芯材41の厚みを10mm、芯材41の密度を約250(kg/m3)に設定したものを使用した。芯材41は前述の通りバインダー等による繊維の結着が無いため、曲げ加工が容易であり、曲げ部に溝等の加工が無い分、芯材41の厚みの減少が無いため、断熱性能が悪化する部分も無い。この真空断熱材40の配置により、電気部品31及び放熱パイプ50による庫内への熱漏洩を低減でき、更には放熱パイプ50の放熱特性を向上できるため、天板11aの内面に真空断熱材40を配置しなかった場合の消費電力量よりも約3%の省エネ効果が得られた。 The vacuum heat insulating material 40 according to Embodiment 1 having the above-described configuration was used in which the thickness of the core material 41 was set to 10 mm and the density of the core material 41 was set to about 250 (kg / m 3 ). As described above, the core material 41 is easy to bend because there is no binding of fibers by a binder or the like, and since there is no processing of a groove or the like in the bent portion, the thickness of the core material 41 is not reduced. There is no part to get worse. By disposing the vacuum heat insulating material 40, heat leakage into the cabinet due to the electrical component 31 and the heat radiating pipe 50 can be reduced, and furthermore, the heat radiating characteristics of the heat radiating pipe 50 can be improved. An energy saving effect of about 3% was obtained compared to the amount of power consumed when no was placed.

図4に示す実施の形態2を示す冷蔵庫は、箱体10の背面上方部に冷蔵庫の運転を制御するための基板や電源基板等の電気部品31を収納するための凹部30が形成されており、電気部品31を覆うカバー32が設けられている。カバー32の高さは外観意匠性を考慮し、外箱11の天板11aの上面とほぼ同じ高さで、箱体10の正面から見えないように配置した以外は前記実施の形態1と同じであるため説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 2)
In the refrigerator shown in Embodiment 2 shown in FIG. 4, a recess 30 for storing an electrical component 31 such as a substrate for controlling the operation of the refrigerator or a power supply substrate is formed in the upper rear portion of the box 10. A cover 32 covering the electrical component 31 is provided. The height of the cover 32 is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the height of the cover 32 is substantially the same as the upper surface of the top plate 11a of the outer box 11 and is arranged so as not to be seen from the front of the box 10 in consideration of the appearance design. Therefore, the description is omitted.

実施の形態2では、凹部30を背面に配置したため、電気部品31をメンテナンスする際の作業性が良くなっている。実施の形態1と同様に、凹部30は不燃性の合成樹脂材で形成されており、断熱材13側に電気部品31を収納する空間だけ凹んだ状態で配置されるため、断熱材13の厚さが薄くなるのを補うため真空断熱材40を配置して断熱性能を確保、強化している。本実施の形態では、真空断熱材40を凹部30と外箱11の後板11bに跨るように略Z形状に成形した大きなサイズ1枚の真空断熱材とした。   In Embodiment 2, since the recessed part 30 is arrange | positioned in the back surface, the workability | operativity at the time of maintaining the electrical component 31 is improving. As in the first embodiment, the recess 30 is formed of a non-combustible synthetic resin material, and is disposed in a state where only the space for housing the electrical component 31 is recessed on the heat insulating material 13 side. In order to compensate for the reduced thickness, a vacuum heat insulating material 40 is arranged to secure and enhance the heat insulating performance. In this embodiment, the vacuum heat insulating material 40 is a single large size vacuum heat insulating material formed in a substantially Z shape so as to straddle the recess 30 and the rear plate 11b of the outer box 11.

また、外箱11の天板11aの内面に放熱パイプ50をアルミテープ50aで固定したが、庫内への熱漏洩抑制と放熱性を高めるため真空断熱材40を柔軟性と断熱性を有する粘着部材52を介して貼り付けた。尚、真空断熱材40の配置については前記同様、この配置に限定されるものではない。   Moreover, although the heat radiating pipe 50 is fixed to the inner surface of the top plate 11a of the outer box 11 with the aluminum tape 50a, the vacuum heat insulating material 40 is made of an adhesive having flexibility and heat insulating properties in order to suppress heat leakage into the cabinet and enhance heat dissipation. Affixed via member 52. The arrangement of the vacuum heat insulating material 40 is not limited to this arrangement as described above.

尚、本実施の形態2では凹部30を後板11bの上部に配置したが、これに限定するものでなく、後板11bの中間部分等に配置した冷蔵庫でもよい。また、後板11bの内面側に放熱パイプ(図示せず)を配置し、凹部30の断熱材13側の面と放熱パイプ(図示せず)に跨って真空断熱材40を配置してもよい。   In the second embodiment, the recess 30 is disposed on the upper portion of the rear plate 11b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a refrigerator disposed in the middle portion of the rear plate 11b or the like may be used. Further, a heat radiating pipe (not shown) may be disposed on the inner surface side of the rear plate 11b, and the vacuum heat insulating material 40 may be disposed across the surface of the recess 30 on the heat insulating material 13 side and the heat radiating pipe (not illustrated). .

本実施の形態においては、天板11aの内面に真空断熱材40を配置しなかった場合の消費電力量よりも約4%の省エネ効果が得られた。   In the present embodiment, an energy saving effect of about 4% is obtained compared to the amount of power consumption when the vacuum heat insulating material 40 is not disposed on the inner surface of the top plate 11a.

以上のように本発明に係る冷蔵庫は、運転時に自己発熱する部品を配置した部分から、庫内への熱漏洩を大幅に低減するもので、庫内容積の大容量化と消費電力量を低減できるので、冷蔵庫のみならず、天面,側面,背面及び底面等に配置された制御基板や電源基板等の電気部品,圧縮機,凝縮器,放熱パイプ等の発熱量の大きい部品を有する冷却機器全般に適用できる。   As described above, the refrigerator according to the present invention greatly reduces the heat leakage from the part where the self-heating parts are arranged during operation, and reduces the volume of the interior and the power consumption. Because it can, not only refrigerators, cooling equipment with large heat generation parts such as control boards and power supply boards, such as control boards and power supply boards placed on the top, side, back and bottom, compressors, condensers, heat radiation pipes, etc. Applicable in general.
