  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a stopper 73 is provided on the bottom surface of the container body 20 to connect the front end of the first protrusion 71 and the front end of the second protrusion 72. Yes. The stopper 73 has a function of stopping the progress of the preservation container 10 in the back side direction when the preservation container 10 is stored in the refrigerator compartment 110.

  In addition, the 1st protrusion part 71, the 2nd protrusion part 72, and the stopper 73 can be comprised with a resin-like thin plate-shaped member.

  Next, the first lid 30 and its hole 310 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 7: is an enlarged view of the area | region B enclosed with the broken line of FIG. 6B, and is a principal part expansion perspective view of the 1st lid | cover in the freshening container regarding the refrigerator which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first lid 30 is formed with a recess 330 having a horizontally long and substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above. The concave portion 330 is divided into two in the vertical direction, and includes a first concave portion 331 on the back side and a second concave portion 332 on the near side. The second recess 332 is formed so that its depth is deeper than the depth of the first recess 331.

  The first recess 331 is provided with a ventilation hole 310 formed through the first lid 30. The hole 310 has a horizontally long and substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above. In addition, shafts 341 and 342 made up of substantially cylindrical convex portions are provided on both side walls in the lateral direction of the second concave portion 332. The first lid 30 configured as described above can be formed by injection molding or the like using a predetermined resin.

  Next, the second lid 40 will be further described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B. FIG. 8A is an external perspective view of the second lid of the freshening container for the refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the oblique direction on the front side. FIG. 8B is an external perspective view of the second lid shown in FIG. 8A as seen from an oblique direction on the back side.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the second lid 40 is configured by a plate-like member 410 having substantially the same shape as the entire recess 330 of the first lid 30. Bearing portions 421 and 422 supported by shafts 341 and 342 provided in the second recess 332 of the first lid 30 are provided on both side portions of the plate-like member 410 of the second lid 40. As described above, the shafts 341 and 342 of the first lid 30 and the bearing portions 421 and 422 of the second lid 40 constitute a uniaxial rotation support mechanism. That is, it has a hinge structure.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, a convex portion 430 that fits into the hole 310 of the first lid 30 is provided on the back surface of the second lid 40. The convex portion 430 of the second lid 40 is formed by annularly forming a wall having a predetermined thickness and a predetermined height. By fitting the convex portion 430 of the second lid 40 into the hole 310 of the first lid 30, the hole 310 of the first lid 30 can be sealed.

  At this time, the convex portion 430 is formed by an annular wall. That is, since the space portion is formed on the inner side of the wall, the convex portion 430 can have a predetermined elastic force in the longitudinal direction of the freshening container 10 (the width direction of the second lid). Thus, by giving the convex portion 430 an elastic force, the convex portion 430 can be easily fitted into the hole 310 and the convex portion 430 can be easily removed from the hole 310. Moreover, the sealing property of the hole 310 and the convex portion 430 can be improved by the elastic force. In addition, although the convex part 430 was formed so that it might become a cyclic | annular wall, it is good also as a structure which was not filled with the cyclic | annular wall and was filled with the same material as the wall inside the wall. In this case, it is preferable to chamfer the outer peripheral portion of the tip of the convex portion so as to be easily fitted into the hole 310.

  The second lid 40 described above can be formed by injection molding or the like using a predetermined resin. In addition, by providing a seal member (not shown) on the outer peripheral portion of the side wall of the convex portion 430 of the second lid 40 so that the seal member is positioned between the hole 310 and the convex portion 430, the hole 310 and The sealing property of the convex part 430 can further be improved.

  Next, how the second lid 40 is opened and closed will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A and 9B. FIG. 9A is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part of a freshening container for a refrigerator according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, showing a state in which the second lid is closed. FIG. 9B is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part of the freshening container for the refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the second lid is open. 9B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line Z-Z ′ shown in FIG. 6A.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when the second lid 40 is closed (closed state), the convex portion 430 of the second lid 40 is fitted in the hole 310 of the first lid 30.

  Thereby, since the sealing container 10 can be kept in a completely sealed state while maintaining the sealed state of the hole 310, the drying in the storing container 10 is prevented and the humidity in the storing container 10 is maintained above a certain level. be able to.

  In addition, in the closed state of the 2nd cover 40 shown to FIG. 9A, the 1st cover 30 and the 2nd cover 40 are so that the surface of the 1st cover 30 and the surface of the 2nd cover 40 may become substantially the same plane. It is structured flat.

  Next, when opening the 2nd cover 40, the pushing part 440 which is a part on the opposite direction side to the side in which the convex part 430 of the 2nd cover 40 is provided is pushed from upper direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9B, the push-in portion 440 is lowered by the uniaxial rotation support mechanism between the shaft 341 (342) of the first lid 30 and the bearing portion 421 (422) of the second lid 40, so that the second recess While being pushed into 332, the raised portion 450 (the portion on the side where the convex portion 430 is provided) which is the portion opposite to the pushed portion 440 rises and protrudes from the surface of the first lid 30.

  Thereby, the 2nd cover 40 will be in an open state. That is, the convex portion 430 of the second lid 40 is removed from the hole 310, the hole 310 of the first lid 30 is opened, and the gas inside and outside the container body 20 can pass through the hole 310.

  In this way, by opening the second lid 40, the moisture in the freshening container 10 can be discharged out of the freshening container 10 through the hole 310. Moreover, the water | moisture content which fruit and vegetables itself generate | occur | produce can also be discharged | emitted out of the preservation container 10. FIG. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fruits and vegetables from rotting due to moisture.

  Moreover, since the gas inside and outside the freshening container 10 can be passed through the hole 310 by opening the second lid 40, the increased humidity in the freshening container 10 can be reduced. In addition, when there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the preservation container, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the preservation container 10 can be reduced by passing the gas inside and outside the preservation container 10 through the hole 310. Thereby, it can suppress that dew condensation arises in the preservation container 10.

  Further, by opening the second lid 40, carbon dioxide outside the freshening container 10 can be taken into the freshening container 10 through the hole 310. Thereby, the freshness of fruit and vegetables can be maintained and long-term storage of fruit and vegetables can also be enabled.

  In addition, the freshening container 10 can be sealed by making the 2nd cover 40 into a closed state from an open state. Thereby, drying in the preservation container 10 can be prevented. As described above, when the second lid 40 is changed from the open state to the closed state, as shown in FIG. 9B, the upper surface portion of the raised portion 450 of the second lid 40 that has popped out is pushed from above, as shown in FIG. 9A. Thus, the second lid 40 can be closed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the open state of the second lid 40 is maintained by friction between the shafts 341 and 342 of the first lid 30 and the bearing portions 421 and 422 of the second lid 40. That is, as the open state maintaining means for maintaining the open state of the second lid 40, friction in the uniaxial rotation support structure is used. Note that the opening angle of the second lid in the opened state of the second lid 40 is about 30 degrees. The opening angle when the open state of the second lid 40 is maintained is preferably 90 degrees or less. Moreover, as an open state maintenance means of the 2nd cover 40, it can implement | achieve also by means other than friction. For example, the open state maintaining means can be configured by a latch structure using a latching portion such as a latch.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown to FIG. 6A and 6B, the back wall which is a back wall of the container main body 20, and the side wall of the container main body 20 are curved by the curved surface which has the predetermined | prescribed radius of curvature swelled outside. Connected structure. Thereby, when storing the preservation container 10 in the refrigerator compartment 110, the preservation container 10 can be accommodated easily. Moreover, when taking out the preservation container 10 from the refrigerator compartment 110, the preservation container 10 can be taken out easily. In addition, it is good also as a structure connected with a plane other than a curved surface. However, it is preferable to use a curved surface in order to secure the storage amount of the freshening container 10.

  About the preservation container 10 which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention comprised as mentioned above, it is accommodated in the refrigerator compartment of a refrigerator similarly to Embodiment 1 of this invention. In this case, two freshening containers 10a and 10b are prepared as the freshening containers, and the freshening containers 10a and 10b are stored in the refrigerator compartment 110 in the same manner as the first freshening container 1a and the second freshening container 1b shown in FIG. To do.

  The freshening containers 10a and 10b according to the second embodiment of the present invention have a first protruding portion 71 on the bottom surface of the container body 20 in the same manner as the first and second freshening containers 1a and 1b according to the first embodiment of the present invention. And a protrusion 7 including a second protrusion 72 and a stopper 73 is provided.

  Therefore, as described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the storing operation in the refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as the storing operation in the refrigerator according to the first embodiment of the present invention. That is, also in this embodiment, the horizontal orientation of the freshening container 10 is corrected in two stages by the first guide portions 151a and 152a and the second guide portions 153a and 154a constituting the first position determining portion 150a. , It proceeds to the back side of the second storage chamber 113. And finally, the freshening container 10 is stored in the second storage chamber 113 so as to be in a predetermined position in the horizontal direction.

  The refrigerator which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention comprised as mentioned above can acquire the effect similar to the effect of the refrigerator 100 which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention mentioned above.

  First, since the sealable freshening containers 10a and 10a are arranged in the refrigerator compartment 110, moderate freshness can be maintained for the fruits and vegetables stored in the freshening containers 10a and 10b.

  Moreover, the position of the horizontal direction in the refrigerator compartment 110 of the preservation containers 10a and 10b is determined by the 1st position determination part 150a and the 2nd position determination part 150b provided in the refrigerator compartment 110. FIG. Thereby, the user of the refrigerator 100 can store the fresh containers 10a and 10b in the refrigerator compartment 110 easily.

  Further, since the fresh containers 10a and 10b are stored in the second storage chamber 113 at the position of the user's eyes of the refrigerator 100, the user can easily pull out the fresh containers 10a and 10b from the second storage chamber 113. Or can be stored in the second storage chamber 113.

  Moreover, since the preservation containers 10a and 10b can be easily attached to and detached from the refrigerator 100, the preservation containers 10a and 10b themselves can be easily taken out from the refrigerator 100 or returned to the refrigerator 100. Therefore, since the preservation containers 10a and 10b can be used outside the refrigerator 100, convenience for the user is enhanced.

  Furthermore, in the refrigerator which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention, in addition to the effect of the refrigerator which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention, the following effects can also be acquired.

  When a sealed container is stored in the refrigerator compartment 110 of the refrigerator 100, condensation easily occurs in the sealed container. However, this problem can be solved by using the fresh containers 10a and 10b according to the present embodiment as the sealed containers stored in the refrigerator compartment 110 of the refrigerator 100. That is, by opening the respective second lids 40 using the freshening containers 10a and 10b according to the present embodiment, moisture in the freshening containers 10a and 10b can be discharged through the holes 310, and The occurrence of dew condensation in the freshening containers 10a and 10b can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the refrigerator compartment 110 of the refrigerator 100 has a structure in which cold air passes through the interior side of the refrigerator, the interior temperature of the interior side of the refrigerator is lower than that of the near side of the interior of the refrigerator. Therefore, when the sealed container is stored in the refrigerator compartment 110, dew condensation is likely to occur in the inner portion of the sealed container. However, since the 2nd lid | cover 40 for opening and closing the hole 310 is provided in the back | inner side, the condensation container 10a, 10b which concerns on this embodiment can produce the dew condensation which can generate | occur | produce in the back | inner side in the preservation containers 10a, 10b. It can be effectively suppressed.

  Further, in the freshening containers 10 a and 10 b according to the present embodiment, the pushing-in portion 440 of the second lid 40 is a front side portion of the second lid 40. Thereby, the 2nd cover 40 can be opened and closed easily by taking out until the pushing part 440 can push, without taking out the container of the preservation containers 10a and 10b from the 2nd storage chamber 113 whole.

  In addition, as long as there is a gap between the upper surface of the first lid 30 and the upper surface (the lower surface of the tray) in the second storage chamber 113, the second lid 40 is opened and closed without moving the preservation containers 10a and 10b. be able to.

  Thus, by providing the push-in portion 440 of the second lid 40 on the near side, it is not necessary to take out the entire containers of the freshening containers 10a and 10b from the refrigerator compartment 110 only to open and close the second lid 40. Accordingly, the keeping container 10 can be prevented from dropping due to excessive withdrawal of the keeping containers 10a and 10b.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the second lid 40 is provided on the back side in order to prevent the occurrence of condensation, and the push-in portion 440 is provided on the front side in order to open and close the second lid 40 easily and safely. Structure.

  Furthermore, since the handle part 240 of the preservation containers 10a and 10b has a concave structure in which a hand can be inserted from below, when pulling out the preservation containers 10a and 10b from the refrigerator compartment 110, the preservation containers 10a and 10b are manually moved from below. Can support. Therefore, it can suppress that the preservation | save container 10a, 10b falls vigorously by pulling out the preservation container 10a, 10b too much.

(Modification)
As mentioned above, although the refrigerator which concerns on this invention was demonstrated based on Embodiment 1, 2, this invention is not limited to these embodiment. Hereinafter, the modified example of the refrigerator which concerns on this invention, and the preservation container used for this is demonstrated.

  First, in the keeping containers 10, 10a, 10b and the refrigerator 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the stored items in the keeping container have been described as fruits and vegetables, but are not limited to fruits and vegetables. The stored items may be other fresh foods other than fruits and vegetables, and may be anything as long as they are damaged by moisture generated in the container. The freshening container and the refrigerator according to the present invention have the above-described effects with respect to items that are damaged by moisture.

  Further, in the refrigerator 100 according to the present embodiment, the second storage chamber 113 of the refrigerator compartment 110 is configured to store two keeping containers of the same size and the same shape, but only one of the keeping containers is stored. You may comprise so that it may accommodate. Further, in the case of a single refrigeration container, the size of the refrigeration container may be increased to be a refrigeration container having a size substantially equal to that of the second storage chamber 113.

  In addition, when a plurality of the same keeping containers are used as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that all of the plurality of position determination units corresponding to the plurality of keeping containers have the same configuration. Thereby, each freshening container can be applied to any position determination part, and the convenience for the user of a refrigerator increases.

  Moreover, it does not matter as a structure which accommodates not only the same-sized preservation container but two preservation containers of a different size. For example, the height can be the same, and the horizontal dimension of the first freshening container and the horizontal dimension of the second freshening container can be different.

  Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which accommodates three or more preservation containers. In this case, the size of the preservation container can be the same or different.

  In this way, by placing two or three or more of the preservation containers in the refrigerator compartment 110, even if the refrigerator compartment door cannot be opened sufficiently, the preservation container can be taken out, The refrigerator compartment can be used effectively. That is, since the lowermost part, which is the second storage chamber of the conventional refrigerator compartment, was a drawer type, there was a situation where the door of the refrigerator compartment could not be opened sufficiently in the left-right direction. In this case, the lowermost part could not be pulled out, and the refrigerator compartment could not be used effectively. However, this problem can be solved by using a plurality of preservation containers according to this embodiment, and the space in the refrigerator compartment can be used effectively as described above. In addition, by using a plurality of refrigeration containers, a refrigerator user can select and properly select a reefer container according to the type or amount of stored items.

  Moreover, by using different storage containers such as different horizontal dimensions, even if the size of the refrigerator compartment differs depending on the type of refrigerator, by combining the storage containers of different sizes appropriately, A combination of fresh containers suitable for the size of the refrigerator compartment can be realized. Accordingly, the space in the refrigerator compartment can be effectively utilized. In addition, by using a freshening container having a different size, it is possible to select a freshening container according to the type or amount of the stored items, and thus it is possible to adjust the ventilation state for each freshening container. In addition, by preparing a plurality of storage containers having different horizontal dimensions, the manufacturer can handle a combination of a plurality of storage containers for a plurality of refrigerator types having different width dimensions of the refrigerator compartment. It is possible to standardize the preservation container.

  In addition, when using the several preservation container from which a magnitude | size differs as mentioned above, it is necessary to provide a position determination part in the bottom face of a refrigerator compartment so that it may respond to the size of each preservation container.

  Next, in the freshening container 10 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, the hole 310 provided in the first lid 30 is a single hole, but a plurality of holes may be provided. Thereby, a hole opening area adjusting means capable of adjusting the opening area of the hole can be configured.

  For example, when a plurality of holes are used, the hole 310 shown in FIG. 7 can be divided into a plurality of holes in the horizontal direction, or a plurality of holes 310 shown in FIG. 7 are provided in the vertical direction. You can also. In this case, it is preferable to provide a plurality of second lids according to the holes.

  In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which the area of the hole 310 can be adjusted by providing a plurality of second lids for one hole 310 shown in FIG. 7 and adjusting the open / closed state of the plurality of second lids. it can. Furthermore, it may be configured such that one second lid corresponds to a plurality of holes, and a plurality of combinations thereof are provided. Also in this case, the opening area of the holes can be adjusted by adjusting the open / closed state of the plurality of second lids.

  Thus, by adjusting the opening area of the hole by the hole opening area adjusting means, the ventilation state can be adjusted according to the type of stored item or the stored amount of stored item.

  Moreover, in the freshening container 10 which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention, although the 2nd cover 40 was made into the structure performed by a uniaxial rotation support mechanism, it does not restrict to this. For example, the second lid may be configured to be opened and closed by a slide mechanism. By adopting the slide mechanism, the configuration is such that the ascending portion 450 is raised as in the present embodiment, so that the second lid can be easily opened and closed even when the gap in the upper portion of the freshening container 10 is small.

  However, it is preferable that the airtightness when the second lid is closed is high. In this regard, in this embodiment, the sealing performance is determined only by the fitting state between the convex portion 430 of the second lid 40 and the hole 310 of the first lid 30. Therefore, it is possible to maintain high sealing performance as the freshening container 10 by completely sealing the hole 310 of the first lid 30 by the convex portion 430 of the second lid 40.

  Moreover, in the freshening container 10 which concerns on this embodiment, although the opening angle of the open state of the 2nd cover 40 was 30 degree | times, it does not restrict to this. For example, the opening angle of the open state of the second lid 40 can be appropriately selected within a range of 90 degrees or less. Moreover, it can also be set as the structure which can adjust the opening angle of the open state of the 2nd cover 40 in several steps. Thus, the ventilation state can be adjusted by adjusting the opening angle of the second lid 40.

  In the present embodiment, the water supply tank is provided in the second storage chamber 113 of the refrigerator compartment 110, but the water supply tank may not be provided. In this case, if the width dimension of the 1st preservation container 1a and the 2nd preservation container 1b is suitably enlarged according to the horizontal direction dimension of the 2nd storage room 113 so that the space of the 2nd storage room 113 can be used effectively. Good.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, each store room of a refrigerator may be a direct cooling system, and may be an indirect cooling system.

  In addition, a form obtained by subjecting each embodiment to various modifications conceived by those skilled in the art, and a form realized by arbitrarily combining components and functions in each embodiment without departing from the gist of the present invention.
