Description

この発明は、冷蔵庫に関する。特に、冷蔵室等の貯蔵室における食品収納棚の使い勝手向上技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator. In particular, it relates to a technique for improving the usability of food storage shelves in a storage room such as a refrigerator room.

一般に、冷蔵庫における食品を載せる食品収納棚を有する冷蔵室において、特に、最上段奥スペースに入れた食品収納棚上の食品を容易に取り出すことができるように改善することが強く要求されている。   In general, in a refrigerator compartment having a food storage shelf on which food is placed in a refrigerator, there is a strong demand for improvement so that the food on the food storage shelf placed in the uppermost back space can be easily taken out.

そこで、庫内に回転自在の棚を設け、この棚を回転させることにより、奥の物品を手前に移動できるようにして、物品の出し入れの利便を図っている。さらに、回転自在の棚を着脱自在にして、回転自在の棚が不要な場合には、それを取り外して上下に広い空間を作ったり、庫内を清掃しやすくする冷蔵庫が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, a rotatable shelf is provided in the cabinet, and by rotating the shelf, the article in the back can be moved to the front for convenience of putting in and out the article. Furthermore, a refrigerator has been proposed in which a rotatable shelf is detachable, and when the rotatable shelf is unnecessary, a wide space is created by removing it and the interior is easily cleaned (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

特開平4−124580号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-124580

しかしながら、上記特許文献1の冷蔵庫は、庫内の奥スペースの食品等の取り出しを容易にする効果を有するものの、回転させるために棚の平面視での形状が円形であり、棚のコーナー部の無効スペースが大きくなるという課題があった。   However, although the refrigerator of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has an effect of facilitating the removal of foods and the like in the inner space of the warehouse, the shape of the shelf in a plan view is circular to rotate, and the corner portion of the shelf There is a problem that the invalid space becomes large.

また、円形の棚に沿って庫内壁面も平面視で略円弧上の形状としているため、貯蔵室(冷蔵室等)の間口が狭くなり、見栄えや使い勝手を損ねている。また、貯蔵室背面コーナー部も狭くなるため、庫内全体の狭少感を招くとともに、実際の有効貯蔵容積が減少するという課題があった。   In addition, since the inner wall surface of the warehouse along the circular shelf has a substantially arcuate shape in plan view, the frontage of the storage room (refrigerator room, etc.) is narrowed, which impairs appearance and usability. In addition, since the rear corner portion of the storage room is also narrowed, there is a problem that the entire interior of the warehouse is reduced and the actual effective storage volume is reduced.

この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、回転動作にて奥スペースの食品等の取り出しを容易にする回転棚装置を有する冷蔵庫において、無効スペースを最小限に留め、且つ、見栄えや取外し清掃性が向上し、動作時の安全性を向上させた冷蔵庫を提供する。   This invention was made to solve the above problems, and in a refrigerator having a rotating shelf device that facilitates the removal of food or the like in the back space by rotating operation, the invalid space is minimized, And the refrigerator which improved the safety | security at the time of operation | movement which improved appearance and removal and improved operation | movement is provided.

回転棚装置10以外の冷蔵庫100(図8〜図10参照)の構成は、一般的な構成であるので、詳細な説明は割愛する。冷蔵庫は、鋼板製の外箱と樹脂製の内箱とこれらの間に充填された発泡断熱材とで形成された断熱箱体を複数の室に仕切り、それぞれの室の開口部を開閉自在に閉塞する扉体を有する。   Since the configuration of the refrigerator 100 (see FIGS. 8 to 10) other than the rotating shelf device 10 is a general configuration, a detailed description thereof is omitted. The refrigerator partitions a heat insulating box formed of a steel plate outer box, a resin inner box, and a foam heat insulating material filled between them into a plurality of chambers, and the opening of each chamber can be freely opened and closed. It has a door that closes.

冷蔵庫100の断熱箱体は、例えば、上から順に冷蔵室101(後述する)、製氷室及び切替室、野菜室、冷凍室に仕切られている。これらの室を、貯蔵室と呼ぶことにする。そして、これらの室は、その開口部を開閉自在に閉塞する冷蔵室扉体(後述する)、製氷室扉体、切替室扉体、野菜室扉体、冷凍室扉体を有する。   The heat insulation box of the refrigerator 100 is partitioned into, for example, a refrigerating room 101 (described later), an ice making room, a switching room, a vegetable room, and a freezing room in order from the top. These rooms will be called storage rooms. And these chambers have a refrigerator compartment door body (described later), an ice making compartment door body, a switching compartment door body, a vegetable compartment door body, and a freezer compartment door body that closes the opening in an openable and closable manner.

断熱箱体を複数の室に仕切る仕切部材には、冷蔵室101と製氷室及び切替室とを仕切る第1の仕切部材、製氷室と切替室とを仕切る第2の仕切部材、製氷室及び切替室と野菜室とを仕切る第3の仕切部材、野菜室と冷凍室とを仕切る第4の仕切部材がある。   The partition member that partitions the heat insulation box into a plurality of chambers includes a first partition member that partitions the refrigeration chamber 101 from the ice making chamber and the switching chamber, a second partition member that partitions the ice making chamber and the switching chamber, an ice making chamber, and switching There is a third partition member that partitions the room and the vegetable compartment, and a fourth partition member that partitions the vegetable compartment and the freezer compartment.

先ず、回転棚装置10の基本構成について、図2乃至図7を参照しながら説明する。図2乃至図7は実施の形態1を示す図で、図2は回転棚装置10の原位置における概念平面図、図3は回転棚装置10の原位置における概念斜視図、図4は回転棚装置10の前進位置における概念斜視図、図5は回転棚装置10の前進回転位置における概念斜視図、図6は回転棚装置10の前進回転位置における概念斜視図、図7は回転棚装置10の原位置回転位置における概念斜視図である。   First, the basic configuration of the rotating shelf device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7 are diagrams showing the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a conceptual plan view at the original position of the rotating shelf device 10, FIG. 3 is a conceptual perspective view at the original position of the rotating shelf device 10, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a conceptual perspective view of the rotary shelf device 10 at the forward rotational position, FIG. 6 is a conceptual perspective view of the rotary shelf device 10 at the forward rotational position, and FIG. It is a conceptual perspective view in an original position rotation position.

図における一対のレール20(前後方向に支持棚12を案内するガイド)は、冷蔵庫内の貯蔵室の両側壁面(内箱の両側壁面)に設けられ、支持棚12を前後方向に摺動自在に支持している。支持棚12上には回転トレイ11が設けられ、支持棚12と回転トレイ11は互いに回転自由な一箇所の支点により連結されている(この点については、後述する)。回転トレイ11は、支持棚12に回転自由な支点により支持されていて、回転トレイ11の四隅は回転支点を中心とした円弧形状により切り欠きを有することで回動できる形状となっている。   A pair of rails 20 (guides for guiding the support shelf 12 in the front-rear direction) in the figure are provided on both side walls of the storage chamber in the refrigerator (both side wall surfaces of the inner box) so that the support shelf 12 can slide in the front-rear direction. I support it. A rotation tray 11 is provided on the support shelf 12, and the support shelf 12 and the rotation tray 11 are connected to each other by one fulcrum that can freely rotate (this will be described later). The rotating tray 11 is supported on a support shelf 12 by a freely rotatable fulcrum, and the four corners of the rotating tray 11 have a shape that can be rotated by having a notch with an arc shape centering on the rotating fulcrum.

図2、図3に示す原位置において、回転棚装置10は、回転トレイ11が回転することなく冷蔵庫内の貯蔵室(例えば、冷蔵室)に収納されている。そして、レール20に沿って前後方向にスライド可能な支持棚12は、貯蔵室の最奥部に位置する。このときユーザは、必要に応じて支持棚12をレール20に沿って前後にスライドさせることができる。図2、図3では、食品30が回転トレイ11の右最奥部に置かれている状態を示している。   In the original position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotating shelf device 10 is stored in a storage room (for example, a refrigerator room) in the refrigerator without the rotating tray 11 rotating. And the support shelf 12 which can slide along the rail 20 in the front-back direction is located in the innermost part of a store room. At this time, the user can slide the support shelf 12 back and forth along the rail 20 as necessary. 2 and 3 show a state in which the food 30 is placed in the rightmost innermost portion of the rotating tray 11.

例えば、図4に示すように、回転トレイ11をレール20に沿って手前に引き出すことにより、回転トレイ11上の手前もしくは中央付近への食品(図示せず)の出し入れは、容易に行うことができる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 4, food (not shown) can be easily put in and out of the front or near the center of the rotary tray 11 by pulling the rotary tray 11 forward along the rail 20. it can.

しかし、例えば、回転トレイ11の右最奥部に置かれている食品30は、図4に示すように回転トレイ11をレール20に沿って手前に引き出しても、容易に取り出すことは困難である。回転トレイ11の右最奥部に置かれている食品30の手前側に他の食品がある場合は、特に難しい。   However, for example, the food 30 placed in the rightmost innermost part of the rotating tray 11 is difficult to easily take out even if the rotating tray 11 is pulled forward along the rail 20 as shown in FIG. . This is particularly difficult when there is another food on the front side of the food 30 placed in the rightmost innermost part of the rotating tray 11.

本実施の形態の回転棚装置10は、回転トレイ11が、支持棚12に回転自由な支点により支持されていて、回転トレイ11の四隅は回転支点を中心とした円弧形状により切り欠きを有することで回動できる形状となっている。そのため、例えば、回転トレイ11の右最奥部に置かれている食品30を取り出す場合は、先ず最奥部にある回転トレイ11を手前に引き出す(図4の状態)。次に、図5に示すように、回転トレイ11をいずれかの方向に回転させる(時計方向でも反時計方向でもよい、図5では時計方向の場合を示している)。   In the rotating shelf device 10 of the present embodiment, the rotating tray 11 is supported on the support shelf 12 by a freely rotating fulcrum, and the four corners of the rotating tray 11 have a notch with a circular arc shape around the rotating fulcrum. It has a shape that can be rotated. Therefore, for example, when taking out the food 30 placed in the rightmost innermost part of the rotating tray 11, the rotating tray 11 in the innermost part is first pulled out (the state of FIG. 4). Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the rotating tray 11 is rotated in either direction (which may be clockwise or counterclockwise, FIG. 5 shows a clockwise direction).

図2、図3に示す原位置から180°回転させた状態を、図6に示す。最奥部にある回転トレイ11を手前に引き出した状態(図4)で、回転トレイ11上に置かれた食品の前後位置関係を反転させることができる。   FIG. 6 shows a state rotated 180 ° from the original position shown in FIGS. The front-rear positional relationship of the food placed on the rotating tray 11 can be reversed in a state where the rotating tray 11 at the innermost part is pulled forward (FIG. 4).

特に、図2、図3に示す原位置で回転トレイ11の右最奥部に置かれていた食品30が、回転トレイ11の最前列に位置する。そのため、ユーザは容易に食品30を取り出すことができる。   In particular, the food 30 placed in the rightmost innermost part of the rotating tray 11 at the original position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is positioned in the frontmost row of the rotating tray 11. Therefore, the user can take out the food 30 easily.

さらには、その状態(食品30が回転トレイ11の最前列に位置する)で図7に示すように、支持棚12を後方に移動させて貯蔵室の最奥部に収めることもできる。賞味期限が迫りがちな冷蔵庫最奥部スペースに収納された食品等を冷蔵庫内の手前スペースに配置替えした状態で冷蔵保管することも可能であり、ユーザの利便性に加えて食品の賞味期限切れによるロス低減にも効果を奏することができる。   Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7 in that state (the food 30 is located in the foremost row of the rotating tray 11), the support shelf 12 can be moved rearward and stored in the innermost part of the storage chamber. It is also possible to store refrigerated foods stored in the deepest part of the refrigerator where the expiration date tends to approach in the front space of the refrigerator. In addition to user convenience, the expiration date of the food It can also be effective in reducing loss.

ここまでは、回転トレイ11の右最奥部に置かれている食品30を取り出すケースについて説明したが、その反対に、例えば、回転トレイ11の右最奥部に収納スペースがあり、そこに食品等を収納する場合も、同様の手順で行うことができる。   Up to this point, the case of taking out the food 30 placed in the rightmost innermost part of the rotating tray 11 has been described. On the other hand, for example, there is a storage space in the innermost right part of the rotating tray 11, and the food is there. The same procedure can be used when storing the like.

尚、冷蔵庫の最上部に位置する貯蔵室に複数の棚がある場合、最上段の棚に本実施の形態の回転棚装置10を用いると、最上段の棚における奥の食品の取り出し性が改善されるので、特に有効である。   In addition, when there are a plurality of shelves in the storage room located at the uppermost part of the refrigerator, the use of the rotating shelf device 10 of the present embodiment for the uppermost shelf improves the take-out property of the food in the back of the uppermost shelf. This is particularly effective.

回転棚装置10の支持棚12が手前に引き出され、且つ回転トレイ11が原位置より90°前後回転して、回転トレイ11の直線部(長手方向)が略前後方向を向く状態のときに、開いている冷蔵庫100の扉を誤って閉じると、冷蔵庫100の扉に設けられるポケット(後述する)に収納されているビン容器等に回転トレイ11が干渉してビン容器等が破損する場合がある。   When the support shelf 12 of the rotating shelf device 10 is pulled out to the front, and the rotating tray 11 is rotated about 90 ° from the original position, and the linear portion (longitudinal direction) of the rotating tray 11 is substantially in the front-rear direction, If the door of the opened refrigerator 100 is closed by mistake, the rotating tray 11 may interfere with a bin container or the like stored in a pocket (to be described later) provided on the door of the refrigerator 100 and the bin container or the like may be damaged. .

本実施の形態の冷蔵庫100は、そのような場合に、扉に設けられるポケットを、回転トレイ11に当接させることにより、扉のポケットに収納されているビン容器等の破損を防止する。   In such a case, the refrigerator 100 according to the present embodiment prevents a bottle container or the like housed in the door pocket from being damaged by bringing a pocket provided in the door into contact with the rotating tray 11.

図8乃至図11は実施の形態1を示す図で、図8は冷蔵庫100の部分縦断面図、図9は扉が閉じた状態の冷蔵庫100の横断面図、図10は扉が開き且つ回転トレイ11が約90°回転した状態の冷蔵庫100の横断面図、図11はレール20を冷蔵室101側から見た側面図である。   8 to 11 are diagrams showing the first embodiment, FIG. 8 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of the refrigerator 100, FIG. 9 is a transverse sectional view of the refrigerator 100 in a state where the door is closed, and FIG. A cross-sectional view of the refrigerator 100 with the tray 11 rotated by about 90 °, FIG. 11 is a side view of the rail 20 viewed from the refrigerator compartment 101 side.

By satisfying the above conditions (1) and (2), the door (left) 50a and the door (right) 50b are opened (about 90 °) and the rotating tray 11 is rotated about 90 ° from the original position (see FIG. 10), when the door (left) 50a or the door (right) 50b is closed, the pocket (left) 60a or the pocket (right) 60b comes into contact with the end portion of the rotating tray 11 cut out in an arc shape.

図9の扉(左)50a及び扉(右)50bが閉じた状態から、扉(左)50a及び扉(右)50bが解放され、続いて支持棚12がレール20上を前方に移動し、それに伴い回転トレイ11の回転トレイ軸11a(図1)も前方に移動して、回転トレイ11が冷蔵室101の背面に干渉することなく回転できる状態となる。尚、レール20には支持棚12と当接し、前方への移動量を規制するストッパー20aが設けられ、回転棚装置10が前方へ脱落しないよう構成されている(図11参照)。   From the state in which the door (left) 50a and the door (right) 50b in FIG. 9 are closed, the door (left) 50a and the door (right) 50b are released, and then the support shelf 12 moves forward on the rail 20, Accordingly, the rotating tray shaft 11 a (FIG. 1) of the rotating tray 11 also moves forward, and the rotating tray 11 can rotate without interfering with the back surface of the refrigerator compartment 101. The rail 20 is provided with a stopper 20a that abuts the support shelf 12 and regulates the amount of forward movement, so that the rotating shelf device 10 does not fall forward (see FIG. 11).

支持棚12が前方へ移動し、回転トレイ11が回転可能となり図10の状態となる。しかし、図10の状態では、図示の如く、回転トレイ11が原位置(図2、図3)から約90°回転し、扉(左)50a及び扉(右)50b閉鎖時に、回転トレイ11がポケット(左)60a及びポケット(右)60b自体もしくはポケット(左)60a及びポケット(右)60b内のビン容器等に干渉する。   The support shelf 12 moves forward, and the rotating tray 11 can be rotated to be in the state shown in FIG. However, in the state of FIG. 10, as shown in the figure, the rotating tray 11 rotates about 90 ° from the original position (FIGS. 2 and 3), and when the door (left) 50a and the door (right) 50b are closed, This interferes with the pocket (left) 60a and the pocket (right) 60b itself or the bottle container in the pocket (left) 60a and the pocket (right) 60b.

しかし、本実施の形態の冷蔵庫100は、図8に示すように、回転トレイ11とポケット(左)60a及びポケット(右)60bは、高さ方向でラップする位置関係となっている。そのため、仮に、使用者がポケット(左)60aもしくはポケット(右)60bが干渉する位置に回転トレイ11を止めた状態から(原位置から約90°回転した状態)、誤って扉(扉(左)50aもしくは扉(右)50b)を閉じたとしても、ポケット(左)60aもしくはポケット(右)60bが回転トレイ11の円弧状に切欠いた端部に当接する。そのため、ポケット(左)60a、ポケット(右)60b及び回転トレイ11の物品が直接衝撃を受けることがない。従って、物品(食品)落下の危険度と低減でき、また、例えば、ポケット(左)60a及びポケット(右)60bには多くビン容器等が収納されるが、ビン容器の破損も回避できる。   However, in the refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the rotating tray 11, the pocket (left) 60a, and the pocket (right) 60b are in a positional relationship of being wrapped in the height direction. Therefore, from the state where the user stops the rotating tray 11 at a position where the pocket (left) 60a or the pocket (right) 60b interferes (a state rotated about 90 ° from the original position), the door (door (left ) Even if 50a or the door (right) 50b) is closed, the pocket (left) 60a or the pocket (right) 60b comes into contact with the end of the rotating tray 11 that is cut out in an arc shape. Therefore, the articles in the pocket (left) 60a, the pocket (right) 60b, and the rotating tray 11 are not directly impacted. Accordingly, the risk of dropping the article (food) can be reduced, and for example, many bottle containers and the like are stored in the pocket (left) 60a and the pocket (right) 60b, but breakage of the bottle container can also be avoided.

以上のように、本実施の形態の回転棚装置10は、食品等を載置する回転トレイ11と、回転トレイ11を回転自在に支持する支持棚12と、回転トレイ11と支持棚12とを嵌合する固定リング13と、貯蔵室左右側面に設置され、支持棚12が摺動する一対のレール20とを備え、回転トレイ11を回動させる回転中心が支持棚12の略中央に形成されるとともに、回転トレイ11がその回転支点を中心とする円弧形状によって回転トレイ11の4隅を切り欠いた略四角形状であるので、コーナー部の無効スペースを最小限に留めることができるという効果を奏する。   As described above, the rotating shelf device 10 according to the present embodiment includes the rotating tray 11 on which food or the like is placed, the supporting shelf 12 that rotatably supports the rotating tray 11, the rotating tray 11 and the supporting shelf 12. A fixing ring 13 to be fitted and a pair of rails 20 that are installed on the left and right side surfaces of the storage chamber and on which the support shelf 12 slides, and a rotation center for rotating the rotation tray 11 is formed at a substantially center of the support shelf 12. In addition, since the rotating tray 11 has a substantially quadrangular shape in which the four corners of the rotating tray 11 are cut out by an arc shape centered on the rotation fulcrum, the effect of minimizing the invalid space in the corner portion can be achieved. Play.

The positional relationship is such that the flange at the end notched in the arc shape of the rotating tray 11 is within the flange height range. Thereby, when the rotating tray 11 is rotated, the rotating tray shaft 11a moves forward, so that when the door (door (left) 50a and door (right) 50b) is closed, the pocket (pocket (left) 60a and The rotating tray 11 passes through a locus that interferes with the pocket (right) 60b) itself or a bottle container in the pocket. However, even if the user accidentally closes the door from the state where the rotating tray 11 is stopped at the pocket interference position, the flange and the rotating tray of the pocket (pocket (left) 60a and pocket (right) 60b) 11, the flanges at the ends of the arcuate notch are in contact with each other, so that the articles in the pockets (pocket (left) 60 a and pocket (right) 60 b) and the rotating tray 11 are not directly impacted. Therefore, the risk of dropping articles can be reduced, and, for example, many bottles and the like are stored in the pockets (pocket (left) 60a and pocket (right) 60b). Play.
