  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the air path formation body 16 which forms a cool air return air path between the vegetable room ceiling surfaces is provided in the upper left part of the vegetable room 6, and the front part 16a includes A cold air inlet 32 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cold air inlet 32 is located above the deep storage space 14 a of the vegetable compartment container 14 and ahead of the front end face of the accessory storage container 15. The cold air inlet 32 is provided diagonally to the cold air supply port 17 that supplies cold air into the vegetable compartment 6. That is, it is formed so as to be located diagonally to the cold air supply port 17 provided on the right side above the rear side of the vegetable room 6, and the cold air flows almost uniformly in the left-right direction of the vegetable room 6, and the air path from the cold air intake port 32. It is designed to be sucked into the formed body 16.

  About the refrigerator comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

  The cold air generated by the cooler 11 is supplied to the vegetable compartment 6 together with the refrigerator compartment 2 and the freezer compartment 5 by the blower 9 and flows out from the cold air supply port 17 provided in the upper part of the rear portion of the vegetable compartment 6.

  The cold air flowing out from the cold air supply port 17 above the rear of the vegetable compartment 6 passes through the rear of the accessory storage container 15 and the vegetable compartment container 14 in the vegetable compartment 6 as shown by the air passage W1 in FIG. It flows below the container 14. And cold air flows in the vegetable compartment 6 inside from the lower back of the vegetable compartment container 14 to the front. Further, the cold air flows upward from the lower part in front of the vegetable compartment container 14 inside the vegetable compartment 6. The cold air flows in this manner, thereby cooling the vegetables and plastic bottles stored in the vegetable compartment container 14.

  And the cold air | gas which flowed to the front upper front of this vegetable compartment container 14 passes through the insertion hole part 19 of the vegetable compartment container 14 front wall, and the deep storage space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 is shown by the air path W2. Flow into. Thereby, the cold air which flowed in cools further the plastic bottle P accommodated in the deep storage space 14a ahead of the vegetable compartment container 14.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the cool air passage hole 21 is provided in the partition wall portion 20 of the vegetable compartment container 14, the bottom portion of the vegetable compartment container 14 is moved forward as shown by the air passage W5 in FIGS. A portion of the cold air flowing into the vegetable compartment container 14 hits the step portion of the partition wall portion 20 of the vegetable compartment container 14 and flows from the cold air passage hole 21 into the deep storage space 14a.

  That is, a part of the cold air flowing through the bottom of the vegetable compartment container 14 collides with the partition wall portion 20 of the vegetable compartment container 14 and is divided into a gap portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section, so that the vegetable compartment container 14 is stored deeply from the cold passage hole 21. It begins to flow near the bottom of the space.

  The cold air from the cold air passage hole 21 of the partition wall portion 20 is supplied to the lower portion of the plastic bottle P or the like disposed in the deep storage space 14a, and the cold air of the air passage forming body 16 is inserted from the insertion hole portion 19 of the front wall of the vegetable compartment container 14. The lower part of the plastic bottle that cannot be sufficiently cooled by the cold air flowing to the suction port 32 can also be cooled.

  That is, the cold air that has flowed near the bottom of the deep storage space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 efficiently cools stored items such as plastic bottles stored in the deep storage space from the bottom of the bottle. Therefore, the entire PET bottle or the like disposed in the deep storage space 14a can be efficiently cooled.

  Furthermore, since a plurality of the cold air passage holes 21 are distributed throughout the left and right regions of the partition wall portion 20, the cold air can be supplied over a wide range to the deep storage space 14a in front of the vegetable compartment container 14. Therefore, even if a PET bottle or the like is stored at either the left or right position in the deep storage space 14a, it can be cooled satisfactorily.

  Then, the cold air in the air passage W5 that has cooled the lower part of the plastic bottle as described above merges with the cold air in the air passage W2, and the air passage forming body 16 disposed above the deep storage space 14a as indicated by the air passage W3. The air flows toward the cool air suction port 32, passes through the cool air suction port 32, passes through the air passage forming body 16, and returns to the cooler 11.

  Thus, since this refrigerator is made to pour cold into the deep storage space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 from near the bottom part of the deep storage space 14a, storage of the plastic bottle etc. which are accommodated in the inside is carried out. Objects can be actively cooled from the bottom. Therefore, the cooling effect of stored items such as plastic bottles can be dramatically improved.

Further, in this embodiment, the air passage forming body 16 provided on the ceiling surface of the vegetable room is above the deep storage space 14a of the vegetable room container 14 and is used to return the cold air to the front part from the front end surface of the accessory storage container 15. Since the cool air inlet 32 is provided, even when the cooling operation is stopped, the vegetables in the shallow storage space 14b of the vegetable compartment container 14 are not cooled excessively, and only the PET bottles in the deep storage space 14a are efficiently cooled. be able to.

  That is, the refrigerator temporarily stops the flow of the cold air to adjust the temperature in the vegetable room 6 and suppresses the temperature in the vegetable room 6 from being excessively lowered. As shown, the air may flow backward through the air passage forming body 16. At this time, the cold air that has flowed back flows into the deep storage space 14a from the cold air inlet 32 above the deep storage space 14a, as in the air passage W4. Only the plastic bottle P accommodated in the deep storage space 14a can be efficiently cooled.

  As described above, the refrigerator according to this embodiment can efficiently cool the plastic bottles and the like housed in the vegetable compartment container 14, but will also be described because it has the following effects.

  That is, this refrigerator cools actively by injecting cold air into the deep storage space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 in which PET bottles and the like are accommodated, but the vegetable compartment container in which vegetables are accommodated. The 14 shallow storage space 14b and the small storage container 15 in which fruits, small vegetables, and the like are stored can be cooled to such an extent that it is not overcooled at an appropriate humidity without adding cool air.

  More specifically, since the shallow storage space 14b of the vegetable compartment container 14 is in a state where the small article storage container 15 is placed on the upper surface portion thereof and closed, it is possible to prevent cold air from entering and exiting from the upper surface opening portion. . In addition, since the vegetable compartment container 14 is physically partitioned between the deep storage space 14a and the shallow storage space 14b by the partition wall portion 20 and the partition plate 22, the cold air flowing into the deep storage space 14a is shallow. It is blocked from flowing into the storage space 14b and flows directly toward the cold air inlet 32 above the deep storage space 14a. For this reason, it becomes difficult for cold air to flow into the vegetables accommodated in the shallow storage space 14b at the rear of the vegetable compartment container 14, and the entry and exit of the cold air is suppressed.

  And the vegetable compartment container 14 of such a state provides the cold air inlet 17 on the right side above the rear part of the vegetable compartment 6 and the cold air inlet 32 serving as a cold air inlet on the left side above the front part. Since the cool air in 6 flows diagonally on the bottom of the vegetable compartment container, the vegetable compartment container 14 is efficiently cooled over a wide area, and can be cooled moderately without adding cool air.

  Therefore, it is possible to perform good cold storage at an appropriate humidity while suppressing drying of vegetables in the shallow storage space 14b which is a concern due to the flow of cold air.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the humidity control film 23 is provided on the partition plate 22 that divides the vegetable compartment container 14 into a deep storage space 14a and a shallow storage space 14b. Even in this case, the humidity in the shallow storage space 14b can be maintained in a more optimal humidity range. Therefore, it is possible not only to dry the vegetables stored in the shallow storage space 14b in the vegetable compartment container 14, but also to cool and store for a long time while maintaining freshness in moderate humidity. This is the same because the humidity control film 23 is provided on the front wall of fruits and small vegetables in the small container 15 described later.

  On the other hand, in the small container 15, the gaps t <b> 1 and t <b> 2 between the opening front end 15 a and the opening rear end 15 b and the vegetable room ceiling surface are closed by the sashes 27 and 28. It can prevent flowing into and passing through the storage container 15.

And this accessory storage container 15 is the vegetable compartment container 1 cooled substantially uniformly as mentioned above.
4 Cooled from below by cool air in the shallow storage space 14b at the rear, and from above, it is cooled by cool air flowing into the cooler 11 in the air passage forming body 16 and cold radiation from the freezer compartment 5. .

  Therefore, it is possible to perform a good cold storage while maintaining an appropriate humidity while suppressing drying of fruits, small vegetables, and the like in the small container 15 that is concerned by the cold air flowing through the vegetable compartment 6 flowing in.

  The accessory storage container 15 is provided with sashes 27 and 28 for closing the gaps t1 and t2 between the opening front end 15a and the opening rear end 15b and the vegetable room ceiling surface. Consideration is taken so that the movement of is not obstructed.

  That is, the gap t1 on the opening front end 15a side is closed by the vertical relationship between the lower end of the fin portion 27b of the sash 27 and the upper surface of the opening front end 15a of the accessory storage container 15, and the gap t2 on the opening rear end 15b side is closed with the seal portion 28b of the sash 28. Since it closes by the back-and-forth contact with the rear surface of the opening rear end 15b, when the small container 15 is slid back and forth, the opening front end 15a contacts the sash 27 and the opening rear end 15b contacts the sash 28. To prevent resistance. Therefore, the small article storage container 15 can be slid back and forth with a light force, and can be improved without impairing usability.

  In addition, since the rear sash 28 provided on the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment is arranged to face the back of the rear end 15b of the accessory storage container 15, the accessory storage container 15 is accommodated in the vegetable compartment 6. Then, the seal portion 28b of the sash 28 is pressed against the flange rear surface of the rear opening end 15b of the small container 15 so that the gap t2 between the vegetable room ceiling surface and the rear opening end 15b of the small container 15 is not spaced in the front-rear direction. Closed form.

  Therefore, the opening rear end 15b of the accessory storage container 15 is positioned in the vicinity of the cold air supply port 17 above the rear of the vegetable compartment 6 as in the present embodiment, and the cold air from the cold air supply port 17 is opened to the accessory storage container 15. Even if it is easy to enter from the rear end 15b, it is possible to reliably prevent the cold air from entering the small article storage container 15, and the cold air enters the small article storage container 15 and circulates to the cooler 11. Drying of small vegetables can be reliably prevented.

  As described above, since the cold air supply port 17 can be left open above the rear part of the vegetable compartment 6, there is no need to provide a guide member or the like for guiding the cold air to the vicinity of the bottom of the vegetable compartment 6, thereby reducing the cost. Can be achieved.

  Further, since the rear sash 28 is fitted with the mounting portion 28a in the same direction as the pushing direction of the small article storage container 15 with respect to the rear engagement part 30 provided on the vegetable room ceiling surface, the small article storage container. As described above, the pressing force applied to the sash 28 by inserting 15 is such that the mounting portion 28a is fitted into the forward projecting portion of the rear engagement portion 30, and the sash 28 remains in the vegetable compartment even when used for a long time. It can prevent falling off from the rear engagement portion 30 on the ceiling surface.

  Further, since the seal portion 28b of the sash 28 is configured to have substantially the same height as the mounting portion 28a fitted to the rear engagement portion 30 of the vegetable room ceiling surface, the opening of the accessory storage container 15 The seal portion 28b pressed on the rear surface of the flange of the rear end 15b is shaped so as to be compressed and deformed substantially on the same line toward the mounting portion 28a, and a good sealing property can be secured over a long period of time.

That is, when the sash seal portion hangs downward from the attachment portion with the above configuration, the seal portion is pushed by the accessory storage container and remains inclined and deformed with respect to the attachment portion as time passes. Although a gap may be formed between the rear end and the rear surface, according to the configuration of this embodiment, the seal portion 28b is kept in press contact with deformation being suppressed, thereby ensuring good sealing performance. be able to.

  Therefore, fruits, small vegetables, and the like in the small container 15 can be reliably stored over a long period of time and stored in a fresh state while maintaining an appropriate humidity, thereby improving reliability. .

  The front sash 27 that closes the gap t1 between the front opening front end 15a of the accessory storage container 15 and the vegetable room ceiling surface has a lower end of the seal portion 28b that does not enter below the upper end of the opening of the accessory storage container 15. Therefore, when sliding the small container 15 back and forth, the fruit or small vegetable stored in the small container 15 can be prevented from hitting the lower edge of the front sash 27 or the probability thereof can be greatly reduced. .

  Therefore, damage to stored items such as fruits and small vegetables can be reduced. Moreover, the frequency that the accessory storage container 15 just placed on the upper part of the vegetable compartment container 14 hinders the back-and-forth movement due to the contact resistance between the sash 27 and the storage object can be reduced. For example, when the vegetable compartment container 14 is pulled out, the accessory storage container 15 remains in the refrigerator main body 1 due to the contact resistance between the sash 27 and the fruit, accessory vegetables, etc., and a separate drawing operation must be performed. It is possible to reduce the occurrence of trouble such as disappearance, and to make the refrigerator easy to use.

  In addition, since the vegetable compartment container 14 and the accessory storage container 15 of this refrigerator are formed of a transparent material, it becomes deeper than a container made of a conventional non-transparent material and creates a profound feeling. It looks good and can enhance the quality and give a sense of quality. And when it pulls out from the refrigerator main body 1, the vegetables etc. which are accommodated in the back part of the vegetable compartment container 14 and the accessory storage container 15 can be visually recognized from the side surface, and the vegetable compartment container 14 which becomes a deep storage space especially. The lower vegetables that are stored in the back part of the top and bottom of the top and bottom can be visually recognized without picking up the top vegetables and the like, and the usability is improved.

  Further, the rear wall of the vegetable compartment container 14 and the accessory storage container 15, particularly the rear wall surface of the vegetable compartment container 14, the dew condensation occurs because the cold air supplied from the cold air supply port 17 at the rear of the vegetable compartment flows along the outer surface of the wall thereafter. As a result, it becomes noticeable, and there is a risk of deteriorating the high-class feeling due to the transparency.

  However, in this embodiment, since the fine wrinkles 25 are provided on the rear wall on the vegetable compartment container 14 side, the condensation can be made inconspicuous, and the high-class feeling due to the transparency can be maintained well. it can.

  Similarly, condensation also occurs on the bottom surface of the vegetable compartment container 14 due to the cold air flowing, and the condensed water produced on the rear wall and the like flows down. The condensation water flows on the bottom surface in the vegetable compartment container 14. It is possible to prevent a sense of luxury from being lost because it enters the gap below the arranged bottom plate 26 and disappears.

  Particularly in this embodiment, since the bottom plate 26 is formed of a stainless steel plate, not only the dew condensation water can be seen, but also the appearance of the bottom of the vegetable compartment container 14 can be greatly improved, and the container can be made transparent. The luxury can be further improved.

  As mentioned above, although the refrigerator concerning this invention was demonstrated using the said embodiment, this invention is not limited to this.

For example, although the vegetable compartment container 14 illustrated what divided the deep storage space 14a and the shallow storage space 14b by raising the partition wall part 20 with a substantially U-shaped cross section on the bottom surface, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the deep storage space 14a and the shallow storage space 14b may be separated by simply making the bottoms different in level (providing the stepped portion 33), and the deep storage space 14a. As long as the storage space 14b and the shallow storage space 14b are separated, any configuration may be used.

  Moreover, although the cold air passage hole 21 for flowing cold air into the deep storage space 14a is provided on the wall surface of the partition wall portion 20 on the deep storage space 14a side, this is provided on the upper surface wall of the partition wall portion 20 as shown in FIG. The shallow storage space 14b side may be shielded by the partition plate 22, and the cool air may flow to the deep storage space 14a side. With this configuration, the cold air passage hole 21 can be easily molded, and the vegetable compartment container 14 can be easily manufactured.

  Furthermore, although the said cold air passage hole 21 illustrated providing in the level | step-difference part 33 etc. which are formed in the division wall part 20 or a level difference, this is on the lower outer surface of the storage space 14a where the cold air which flows through the lower part in the vegetable compartment 6 is deep. As long as it is a part which collides, it may be other than the part which divides the deep storage space 14a and the shallow storage space 14b. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, a step 34 may be provided in the lower front part of the deep storage space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14, and the cool air passage hole 21 may be provided in the step 34, or as shown in FIG. A step portion 35 may be provided on the inner surface of the heat insulating door 8 located in front of the deep storage space 14 a of the vegetable compartment container 14, and a cold air passage hole 21 may be provided in a portion facing the step portion 35, and the deep storage space 14 a Any portion may be used as long as the lower portion of the vegetable compartment container 14 intersects with the cold air flowing in the lower portion of the vegetable compartment 6 along the outer surface.
