  Hereinafter, the refrigerator according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the refrigerator 1 includes, in order from the top of the refrigerator body 2, a refrigerator room 3, a vegetable room 4, an ice making room 5, an upper freezer room 6, which are storage rooms for storing ingredients. A lower freezer compartment 7 is provided. The front surfaces of the chambers 3 to 7 are open. The opening of the refrigerator compartment 3 is opened and closed by a so-called double door type (rotating type) left door 3a and right door 3b. The upper and lower portions of the left end of the left door 3a are rotatably supported by a hinge 2a shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the upper and lower portions of the right door 3b are rotatably supported by a hinge 2b. In this case, the length of the right door 3b (the length from the rotation center of the hinge 2b to the open end) is longer than the length of the left door 3a.

The vegetable compartment 4, the ice making compartment 5, the upper freezer compartment 6 and the lower freezer compartment 7 are opened and closed by a pull-out door 4a, a door 5a, a door 6a and a door 7a, respectively.
The left door 3a and the right door 3b of the refrigerator compartment 3 are mainly composed of a non-metallic material that transmits radio waves. In addition, the vertical partition 13 mentioned later is mainly comprised by the nonmetallic material which permeate | transmits an electromagnetic wave.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the left door 3a of the refrigerator compartment 3 is provided with a door pocket 8a, a door pocket 9a, and a door pocket 10a in order from the top, and the right door 3b has a door pocket 8b in order from the top. A door pocket 9b and a door pocket 10b are provided. The refrigerator compartment 3 is provided with a plurality of shelves 11 made of a transparent material such as glass, and a special purpose room such as an egg room or a chilled room at the bottom. 12 is arranged.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the left door 3 a is a rotating non-metallic material for filling a gap S (see FIG. 3) with the right door 3 b when both the doors 3 a and 3 b are closed. A vertical partition 13 made of synthetic resin is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the vertical partition 13 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view of the outer shell case 13a, and has a vertically long shape as a whole. The outer shell case 13a includes a front end plate 13b that contacts the doors 3a and 3b, a left and right side plate portion and a back plate portion, and the front end plate 13b that constitutes the outer shell case 13a of the vertical partition 13. 13c. In this case, in the planar shape, the back plate portion and the front end plate 13b form a rectangular long side, and the left and right side plate portions form a short side.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the vertical partition 13 is rotatably provided on the back side of the right end portion of the left door 3 a by upper and lower hinges 14 (only the upper hinge is shown). 4 and 6, when the left door 3a is opened, the vertical partition 13 protrudes from the inner surface of the left door 3a so as to be substantially perpendicular to the left door 3a. Retained.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, guide grooves 15 having a predetermined shape in the longitudinal direction (only the upper guide grooves are shown) are formed on the upper and lower portions of the vertical partition 13. And the guide convex part 16 which can fit the said guide groove 15 is formed in the ceiling surface and bottom face of the said refrigerator compartment 3. As shown in FIG. When the left door 3a is rotated from the open state to the closing direction, the guide groove 15 is fitted with the guide convex portion 16, and the guide groove 15 has a predetermined shape as shown in FIG. Rotate.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 3, when the left door 3a is closed, the vertical partition 13 protrudes further to the right from the right end of the left door 3a (the back plate and the front end plate 13b are connected to the left door 3a). In contact with the gasket of the left door 3a, and in this state, the opening of the refrigerator compartment 3 is divided into left and right. When the right door 3b is closed in this state, the gasket at the left end contacts the outer surface of the vertical partition 13 (see FIG. 3). Even if the left door 3a is closed after the right door 3b is closed, it contacts the gasket of the right door 3b as shown in FIG. The vertical partition 13 closes the opening between the doors 3a and 3b.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a heater (electric heater) 17 for preventing dew condensation is attached to the inner surface of the front end plate 13b inside the outer shell case 13a of the vertical partition 13 in the vertical direction (vertical direction). It has been. The heater 17 is composed of, for example, a single heating wire, and the heat generation amount per unit distance (hereinafter referred to as unit heat generation amount) in the vertical direction of the heater 17 is set as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the vertical distance of the heater 17 is divided into an upper region, an intermediate region, and a lower region in the vertical direction, the heater 17 in the intermediate region is formed in a dense zigzag shape. The unit heat generation amount is relatively large, and the heater 17 in the lower region is formed in a slightly rough zigzag shape so that the unit heat generation amount is relatively medium, and the heater 17 in the upper region is made straight. By forming, the unit calorific value is relatively small.

  The heater 17 prevents condensation from occurring in the vertical partition 13 itself, and opens the end of both doors 3a and 3b (the right end for the left door 3a and the left end for the right door 3b). Prevents condensation from forming. Although not shown, a dew-proof heater is provided at the opening edge of the refrigerating chamber 3, and the left door 3a has an end other than the right end, and the right door 3b has a left end. It is intended to prevent condensation at the end other than the part.

  In addition, an interior illumination lamp (not shown) as illumination means is provided inside the refrigerator compartment 3. This room illumination lamp is provided on the ceiling and the side. Among these, the ceiling room illumination lamp is provided to illuminate a specific position in the warehouse, such as the upper side in the warehouse, and the side room illumination lamp, such as the central part or the lower part in the warehouse.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an operation panel 18 is provided on the left door 3a. The operation panel 18 is provided with a panel display 19. On the surface of the panel display 19, an operation switch group 20 (see FIG. 9) including a touch input unit is formed. As shown in FIG. 9, the operation switch group 20 includes a refrigerator temperature setting switch 20a and a heater strength setting switch 20b.

  In FIG. 9, a control device 21 mainly controls the heater 17, and this control device 21 is composed of a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a timer, and the like. The control device 21 includes, as input devices, a left door opening / closing detection means 22a, a right door opening / closing detection means 22b, the refrigerator temperature setting switch 20a, a heater strength setting switch 20b, an outside air temperature sensor 23, and a refrigerator temperature. A sensor 24 is connected. Further, the heater 17 and the panel display 19 are connected to the control device 21 as output side devices. The left door opening / closing detection means 22a is composed of, for example, an opening / closing detection switch, and detects opening and closing of the left door 3a. The right door opening / closing detection means 22b is composed of, for example, an opening / closing detection switch, and detects the opening and closing of the right door 3b.

  The control device 21 controls the heater 17 as shown in FIG. The control device 21 acquires the outside temperature detected by the outside temperature sensor 23 in a state where the refrigerator 1 is operating (step S1), and sets the energization rate for the heater 17 according to the acquired outside temperature (step S2). ). This energization rate is a so-called maximum input power when the energization rate is 100%. Since the condensation tends to occur as the outdoor temperature increases, the energization rate is also set so as to increase as the outdoor temperature increases.

  Then, based on the detection results by the left door opening / closing detection means 22a and the right door opening / closing detection means 22b, whether at least one of the doors 3a, 3b is opened and then the doors 3a, 3b are closed. It is determined whether or not (step S3). When it is determined that the doors 3a and 3b are closed, the heater 17 is energized at the above-described energization rate (step S4).

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, since the unit heat generation amount in the intermediate region of the heater 17 is relatively large, the heat generation temperature also increases in this intermediate region. Further, since the unit heat generation amount in the lower region of the heater 17 is relatively medium, the heat generation temperature in this lower region is relatively medium. Further, since the unit heat generation amount in the upper region is relatively small, the heat generation temperature in the upper region is relatively low.

  Thus, even if there is a difference in heat generation temperature, it is possible to prevent dew condensation from occurring on the predicted dew condensation locations (the vertical partition 13, the right end of the left door 3a and the left end of the right door 3b). That is, when both doors 3a and 3b are in a closed state, the refrigerator 1 cools the inside of the refrigerating room 3, but in that case, the temperature distribution in the refrigerating room 3 is divided into an upper part, an intermediate part, and a lower part. In this case, the inventor investigated that the upper part is in a relatively high temperature state, the middle part is in a relatively low temperature state, and the lower part is in a relatively medium temperature state. That is, the temperature is relatively low except for the upper part with respect to the upper part. Accordingly, the vertical partition 13, the right end of the left door 3a, and the right door 3b have a small amount of dew on the part corresponding to the upper part, and the amount of dew on the part corresponding to the middle part is larger than the upper part. The amount of dew on the corresponding part is slightly higher than the upper part (a little less than the middle part).

  In such a situation where dew is generated, even if the heat generation temperature in the upper region of the heater 17 is relatively low with respect to the upper part in the refrigerator compartment 3, the dew is sufficiently prevented. Can do. In addition, since the heat generation temperature in the intermediate region of the heater 17 is high with respect to the intermediate portion having a relatively low temperature in the refrigerator compartment 3, it is possible to sufficiently prevent dew condensation. Moreover, since the heat generation temperature of the lower part of the heater 17 is slightly higher than that of the upper part in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 3 that is slightly lower than the upper part, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the dew condensation.

  After the above-described step S4, if the temperature in the refrigerator compartment 3 reaches a preset heater disconnection temperature (determined in step S5), the heater 17 is disconnected (step S6). Thereafter, when the preset outside air temperature acquisition timing is reached (determined in step S7), the process returns to step S1 described above.

  Here, conventionally, without paying attention to the temperature distribution state of the refrigerating chamber 3 (cooling chamber), the heater is made into a dense zigzag shape vertically so that no dew condensation occurs in any part, and a unit heat generation amount that is uniformly large It was. In this configuration, as described above, considering that the temperature distribution in the refrigerator compartment 3 is a high temperature in the upper portion and a relatively low temperature state in the portion other than the upper portion, the amount of heat generated in the upper region of the heater becomes excessive. .

  In this respect, in this embodiment, since the unit heat generation amount in the upper region corresponding to the upper part in the refrigerator compartment 3 in the heater 17 is relatively small with respect to other than the upper region, the heater 17 corresponds to the upper part in the refrigerator compartment 3. It is possible to suppress the amount of electric power by the heater 17 while preventing the occurrence of condensation at the predicted occurrence of condensation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the unit heat generation amount of the lower region corresponding to the lower part in the refrigerator compartment 3 in the heater 17 is smaller than the unit heat generation amount in the intermediate region of the heater 17 and larger than the unit heat generation amount in the upper region. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the amount of electric power by the heater 17 while preventing the occurrence of condensation at the predicted condensation occurrence location corresponding to the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 3.

In addition, you may make it adjust the said electricity supply rate in relation to external temperature, external air humidity, refrigerator compartment temperature (setting temperature), etc.
11 and 12 show a second embodiment, and the means for making the unit heat generation amount different in the upper region, the intermediate region, and the lower region of the heater 17 is different from that in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the heater 17 is divided into an upper heater 17a that bears the upper region, an intermediate heater 17b that bears the intermediate region, and a lower heater 17c that bears the lower region. Each of the heaters 17a to 17c is set to have the same zigzag density. These heaters 17a to 17c are connected to the control device 21 via an input power regulator 17W shown in FIG.

  When receiving the heater energization command from the control device 21, the input power adjuster 17W sets the power input to the upper heater 17a to be relatively small and relatively increases the power input to the intermediate heater 17b. The power input to the lower heater 17c is set to be relatively medium. Thereby, the unit heat generation amount in the upper heater 17a of the heater 17 is relatively small, the unit heat generation amount in the intermediate heater 17b is relatively large, and the unit heat generation amount in the lower heater 17c is relatively medium. . This second embodiment also has the same effect as the first embodiment.

The heaters 17a to 17c may be individually adjustable in input power by a manual switch.
13 to 16 show a third embodiment. In this embodiment, the vertical partition 13 is provided with a camera device 25 as an imaging means. As shown in FIG. 15, the camera device 25 includes a lens 25b on the front surface (one surface) of an apparatus case 25a corresponding to the main body, and controls an image sensor and a communication unit, and further controls the image sensor and the communication unit. The control part etc. which are performed are provided. The refrigerator 1 includes a relay communication unit.

  When the camera device 25 receives an imaging command from an external device (smartphone, tablet terminal, personal computer, etc.) via the relay communication unit, the camera device 25 images the inside of the refrigerator compartment 3, and the captured image is transmitted to the relay communication unit. And to an external device via a wide area communication network or a short-range communication means. The camera device 25 can also take an image of the inside of the refrigerating chamber 3 by automatic activation by its own timer function. In this case, the captured image can be taken via a relay communication unit, a wide area communication network, or the like. It transmits to the external device via the distance communication means.

  Inside the vertical partition 13, a lens window 13e is formed on the back plate portion of the rear cover 13c. The camera device 25 is provided inside the vertical partition 13 so that one surface provided with the lens 25b is in contact with the inner surface of the back plate portion of the rear cover 13c, and the lens 25b extends from the lens window 13e to the outside of the vertical partition 13. I'm here. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the heater 17 is disposed around the camera device 25 by turning a part of the upper region around the back plate portion of the rear cover 13 c. In this case, the heater 17 surrounds the camera device 25 almost twice to increase the unit heat generation amount.

Also in the third embodiment, the heater 17 is controlled as shown in the flowchart of FIG.
According to the third embodiment, since the vertical partition 13 is provided with the camera device 25 capable of transmitting the captured image in the refrigerator compartment 3 to the outside, the camera device 25 is installed in the refrigerator compartment 3 in the closed state of the left door 3a. Therefore, it is possible to acquire information such as ingredients in the refrigerator compartment 3 even from a remote location.

  Further, according to the third embodiment, since the camera device 25 is provided in the vertical partition 13, the camera device 25 is easily subjected to the heat of the heater 17 for preventing condensation, that is, the camera using the heater 17 is used. It is possible to prevent fogging (condensation) from occurring in the lens 25b of the device 25.

  Further, according to the third embodiment, since a part of the upper region which is a part of the heater 17 is disposed around the camera device 25, the camera device 25 further receives the heat of the heater 17 for preventing condensation. This is more effective for preventing the lens 25b in the camera device 25 from fogging.

  Further, since the heater 17 is energized when any of the doors 3a and 3b is opened and closed, even if the lens 25b of the camera device 25 is fogged by opening and closing the doors 3a and 3b, the anti-fogging is eliminated immediately after the door is closed. .

  In this case, the heater 17 cuts off the heater 17 in step S6 if the inside of the refrigerator compartment 3 reaches a preset heater cut-off temperature (determined in step S5). This third embodiment And in 1st Embodiment, it may replace with this power disconnection, and you may make it energize intermittently at the end of predetermined time, for example.

  FIG. 17 shows a fourth embodiment, which differs from the third embodiment in the following points. In the fourth embodiment, a part of the upper region which is a part of the heater 17 is disposed on the front surface which is one surface of the device case 25a of the camera device 25 in a form avoiding the lens 25b.

  In the fourth embodiment, since a part of the heater 17 is disposed on the front surface, which is one surface where the lens 25b exists, in the camera device 25, it is possible to more effectively prevent the lens 25b from being fogged. In addition, since the heater 17 is configured to avoid the lens 25b, the heater 17 does not interfere with the imaging.

  FIG. 18 shows a fifth embodiment, which differs from the third embodiment in the following points. In the fifth embodiment, a part of the heater 17 is provided on the back side surface of the camera device 25 (the side opposite to the front surface which is the one surface). According to the fifth embodiment, the entire camera device 25 can be heated from the back side, and fogging of the lens 25b of the camera device 25 can be prevented. In this case, since it is not necessary to reach a part of the heater 17 to the camera device 25, wiring becomes easy.

  19 and 20 show a sixth embodiment, which differs from the third embodiment in the following points. In the sixth embodiment, the heater 17 is composed of an upper heater 17a serving as an upper region, an intermediate heater 17b serving as an intermediate region, a lower heater 17c serving as a lower region, and a camera device for heating the camera device 25. The heater 17k is configured separately. The camera device heater 17k also serves as a heater for preventing condensation. The camera device heater 17k is located above the upper heater 17a and corresponding to the camera device 25.

  These heaters 17a to 17c and 17k are connected to the control device 21 via an input power regulator 17Wa. When receiving the heater energization command from the control device 21, the input power adjuster 17Wa sets the power input to the upper heater 17a to be relatively small and relatively increases the power input to the intermediate heater 17b. The power input to the lower heater 17c is set to be relatively medium, and the power input to the camera device heater 17k is set to be relatively large. Thereby, the unit heat generation amount in the upper heater 17a of the heater 17 is relatively small, the unit heat generation amount in the intermediate heater 17b is relatively large, and the unit heat generation amount in the lower heater 17c is relatively medium. . The sixth embodiment also has the same effect as the first embodiment.

Further, the unit heat generation amount in the camera device heater 17k is relatively large, so that the lens 25b of the camera device 25 can be prevented from fogging.
The unit heat generation amount in the camera device heater 17k may be relatively small or medium. In addition, an operation unit for adjusting the upper heater input power, an operation unit for adjusting the intermediate heater input power, an operation unit for adjusting the lower heater input power, and an operation unit for adjusting the heater input power for the camera device are provided. Thus, the input powers of the heaters 17a to 17c and 17k may be adjustable by the operation units.

  21 to 23 show a seventh embodiment, and the following points are different from the third embodiment. The camera device 25 is provided in the vicinity of the heater 17 in the left door 3a. The camera device 25 corresponds to an area other than the upper area of the heater 17 in the left door 3a, for example, an intermediate area and is hidden by the vertical partition 13 (a position hidden by the protruding vertical partition 13 in the opened state in FIG. 22). ing. Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the heater 17 is arranged in the vertical partition 13 so as to be biased toward the camera device 25 from the center portion in the left-right direction (a reference line (center line) that bisects the left-right direction is indicated by reference numeral La). Has been established.

In the seventh embodiment, since the camera device 25 is provided in the vicinity of the heater 17 in the left door 3a, the lens 25b can be prevented from fogging.
Further, since the camera device 25 is disposed in the left door 3a at a position corresponding to an intermediate area (area where the unit heat generation amount is large) of the heater 17, an upper area (area where the unit heat generation amount is small) of the heater 17 in the left door 3a. In contrast to the case where the camera device 25 is disposed corresponding to the above, it is possible to enhance the heating effect on the camera device 25 and effectively prevent the lens 25b from being fogged. In this case, the camera device 25 may be arranged corresponding to the lower area (area in the unit heat generation amount) of the heater 17 in the left door 3a.

  In addition, since the heater 17 is disposed in the vertical partition 13 so as to be deviated from the central portion in the left-right direction toward the camera device 25, the heater 17 can be as close as possible to the camera device 25, and further the anti-fogging of the lens 25b can be prevented. . Further, since the camera device 25 is provided in the left door 3a at a position hidden by the vertical partition 13 when the door is opened, food or the like that is taken in or out when the left door 3a is opened is inadvertently disposed in the lens 25b of the camera device 25. You can avoid hitting the part.

  24 to 26 show an eighth embodiment, which is different from the seventh embodiment in that the camera device 25 is disposed on the right door 3b. In this case, since the right door 3b is slightly longer in the left-right direction than the left door 3a, the camera device 25 is positioned approximately at the center in the left-right direction of the opening of the refrigerator compartment 3. For this reason, the inside of the refrigerator compartment 3 can be imaged without deviation from the front center.

  In the heater 17, only the upper region may have a small unit heat generation amount, and the middle region and the corporation region may have a large unit heat generation amount. Moreover, you may arrange | position the camera apparatus 25 so that the outside of the refrigerator 1 may be imaged. In this case, the camera device 25 is preferably provided in the vicinity of the heater 17.
