  An arcuate bulging portion 34 that protrudes upward is provided at the front end of the hand insertion opening 32 of the handle portion 25. Further, a recess 35 that is recessed rearward is formed on the rear wall surface of the hand insertion opening 32.

  On the other hand, the decorative cover 23 covering the leg portion 21 and the handle member 22 is provided with a tool 36 for adjusting the height of the leg portion 21 as described above.

  Hereinafter, this tool mounting configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the decorative cover 23 is provided with a tool attachment portion 37 on the back surface thereof. The tool 36 is detachably attached to the tool attachment portion 37.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the tool attachment portion 37 includes a first rib 37 a for fitting and fixing one end of the tool 36, and a second rib 37 b for fitting and fixing the other end, and the handle members 22 of the decorative cover 23 are connected to each other. The tool 36 can be mounted in the left-right space between them.

  The tool mounting portion 37 is a part of the tool 36, and in this example, the rear side of the wrench portion 36a in which the width in the front-rear direction of the tool 36 increases, as shown in FIG. It is configured to be mounted so as to overlap the bottom surface.

  The decorative cover 23 is integrally formed with a cover 38 at the rear edge of the portion where the tool 36 is mounted, and the wrench 36a protruding from the rear end of the decorative cover 23 toward the main body, that is, the tool 36 The portion that overlaps the refrigerator body 1 is covered.

  In this example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the cover portion 38 is provided not only in the overlapping portion but over almost the entire length of the tool 36, but this is at least a portion of the tool 36 overlapping the refrigerator body 1. It is only necessary to provide a cover.

  Further, the tool 36 has a configuration in which the wrench portion 36a and the handle portion 36b are bent in a substantially square shape, and the tool 36 is mounted on the decorative cover 23 in the opposite direction to the normal state (upper and lower surfaces). A reverse-preventing portion 39 is provided for preventing the reverse attachment).

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, when the tool 36 is set in a normal state, the reverse attachment preventing portion 39 abuts on the upper surface of the tool 36, and when the upper and lower surfaces are set in the opposite direction, the reverse attachment preventing portion 39 is provided. The tip of the tool 36 is positioned below the upper surface of the tool 36 so that the tool 36 cannot be locked by the first rib 37a and the second rib 37b. It may be a configuration.

  Next, the operation and effect of the refrigerator configured as described above will be described.

The refrigerator of the present embodiment is provided with a decorative cover 23 on the front bottom of the refrigerator main body 1 and covers the leg portion 21 together with the handle portion 25. The decorative cover 23 is provided with a tool attachment portion 37 on the back surface thereof. A tool 36 for adjusting the height of the leg portion 21 is attached to the tool attachment portion 37.

  Therefore, even if the refrigerator body 1 is large and heavy, the height of the leg portion 21 can be easily adjusted using the tool 36.

  Further, the tool 36 after adjusting the height of the leg portion 21 can be stored by being attached to the back surface of the decorative cover 23, and can be prevented from being lost.

  Further, when the refrigerator main body 1 is moved to another place and reinstalled, the makeup cover 23 is removed and the tool 36 is taken out, so that the height of the leg portion 21 can be easily adjusted.

  The removal of the decorative cover 23 is an operation that must be performed when the height of the leg 21 is adjusted. Therefore, the removal of the decorative cover 23 makes it possible to recognize the presence of the tool 36 and use it without searching for the tool 36. .

  In addition, the work for taking out the tool 36 is an indispensable work to be performed when the height is adjusted, and there is no trouble of separately performing an operation for taking out the tool.

  Therefore, workability at the time of re-installation is significantly improved.

  Here, in order to improve the workability of adjusting the height of the leg portion 21, if the tool 36 is mounted on the decorative cover 23, the width in the front-rear direction of the decorative cover 23 increases, There is a problem that the front end tends to protrude forward from the front of the vegetable compartment door 13 of the refrigerator body 1.

  That is, when the tool 36 is attached to the decorative cover 23, when the tool 36 attached to the decorative cover 23 has a large width in the front-rear direction, the wrench portion 36a has a large width in the front-rear direction in this example. The front-rear direction dimension of the decorative cover 23 is increased by the width in the front-rear direction of the portion 36a. As a result, the front end of the decorative cover 23 tends to protrude from the front of the vegetable compartment door 13 of the refrigerator body 1.

  However, in the present embodiment, the tool mounting portion 37 provided on the decorative cover 23 is mounted in a state where the rear portion of the wrench portion 36a of the tool 36 protrudes toward the refrigerator main body 1 and overlaps the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 1. Since the configuration is possible, the width in the front-rear direction of the decorative cover 23 can be shortened by the overlapping amount.

  Therefore, it can be installed so that the front end of the decorative cover 23 is positioned rearward so that the front end of the decorative cover 23 does not protrude from the front of the vegetable compartment door 13 of the refrigerator body 1, and has high aesthetics and safety. It can be a refrigerator.

  The decorative cover 23 is provided with a cover portion 38 that covers the wrench portion 36a that overlaps the refrigerator main body 1 of the tool 36, so that condensation may occur on the bottom of the refrigerator main body 1 and fall. Also, it is possible to prevent the condensed water from adhering to the tool 36.

  Therefore, corrosion of the tool 36 often formed of metal can be prevented and stored in a good state for a long time.

Further, since the tool 36 is bent in a substantially square shape, even if the height of the leg portion 21 is low, the handle portion 36b does not come into contact with the floor and does not interfere with the adjustment work. The height of the portion 21 can be easily adjusted.

  In this case, since the tool 36 is bent in a substantially square shape, when the tool 36 is mounted in a state opposite to the normal state, a part of the tool 36, for example, a part of the wrench portion 36a in this case, is placed on the floor surface side. There is a risk of jumping out and touching the floor and damaging the floor.

  However, in the present embodiment, since the decorative cover 23 is provided with the reverse attachment preventing portion 39 that prevents the tool 36 from being attached in the reverse direction together with the tool attachment portion 37, the reverse attachment of the tool 36 can be prevented. .

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent such an adverse effect that a part of the wrench portion 36a of the tool 36 protrudes downward to come into contact with the floor surface and damage the floor surface.

  Further, since the tool attachment portion 37 provided on the decorative cover 23 is located between the left and right handle members 22 provided on the refrigerator main body 1, the left and right space generated between the handle members 22 of the decorative cover 23. Even a tool with a relatively long dimension can be mounted and stored without difficulty. At the same time, the width dimension in the front-rear direction of the decorative cover 23 can be shortened. Thereby, the enlargement of the decorative cover can be prevented and the front end of the decorative cover 23 can be more reliably prevented from protruding from the front surface of the vegetable compartment door 13.

  Further, since the handle member 22 has a configuration in which the bulging portion 34 is provided at the end of the handle portion 25 on the hand insertion opening side, the handle portion 25 is thickened by the bulging portion 34 and the strength is improved. Even a heavy refrigerator main body can withstand the load. And the width dimension of the front-back direction of the decorative cover 23 can be shortened by making the length dimension of the front-back direction of the handle part 25 shorter than the conventional one.

  Therefore, the front-rear dimension of the decorative cover 23 is made smaller by reducing the length of the handle part 25 in the front-rear direction so that the front end of the decorative cover 23 is located rearward, and from the front of the vegetable compartment door 13 of the refrigerator body 1. It can be prevented from protruding.

  Further, since the bulging portion 34 also serves as a hand catching portion, it is possible to prevent the finger of the hand from slipping and inadvertently coming off the handle portion 25, and to improve safety during transportation. Can do.

  Further, since the handle member 22 is provided with a recess 35 recessed in the rearward direction on the rear wall surface of the hand insertion opening 32, the rear side wall surface of the hand insertion opening 32 is provided by the amount of the recess 35 provided. And the position of the hand insertion opening 32 formed between the bulging portion 34 of the handle portion 25 can be shifted to the rear side.

  Therefore, the front-rear direction dimension of the handle member 22 can be shortened by the amount of shifting the position of the hand insertion opening 32 to the rear side. Thereby, the size in the front-rear direction of the decorative cover 23 can also be reduced so that the front end of the decorative cover 23 is positioned rearward, so that it does not protrude from the front of the vegetable compartment door 13 of the refrigerator body 1.

  And the beauty of the front bottom part of the refrigerator main body 1 and safety | security can be made favorable by making the front end of the decorative cover 23 not protrude from the front surface of the vegetable compartment door 13 as mentioned above.

  Furthermore, the refrigerator of this Embodiment also has the following effects.

  That is, the grip member 22 attached to the front bottom portion of the refrigerator main body 1 is provided with a pipe fixing claw 28 in the pipe fixing portion 27, and the front of the heat radiating pipe 20 laid on the bottom portion of the refrigerator main body 1 by the pipe fixing claw 28. The end part is fixed.

  Therefore, the front end portion of the heat radiating pipe 20 is accurately fixed at a predetermined position without being displaced even if there is a fluctuation in the foaming pressure of the foam heat insulating material or vibration during assembly transportation. Thereby, it can be set as the refrigerator with the stable energy-saving and dew-proof effect by canceling the dispersion | variation in the energy-saving property and dew-proof effect which arise when the front-end part of the thermal radiation pipe 20 shifts to an up-down direction. Further, when fixing the front end portion of the heat radiating pipe 20, it is not necessary to attach a tape or the like, so that it is possible to fix the pipe inexpensively without causing an increase in the number of parts or an increase in the number of steps.

  Here, in order to stabilize the energy saving and the dewproofing effect without variation, the pipe fixing claw 28 is provided on the pipe fixing portion 27 of the handle member 22 to fix the front end portion of the heat radiating pipe 20. The front end portion of the heat radiating pipe 20 is located near the bottom surface of the vegetable compartment 10 by the height dimension h of the pipe fixing claw 28 that enters the inside of the box 3. Therefore, the heat influence to the vegetable compartment 10 by the heat radiating pipe 20 increases, and the bad effect that the frequency of cooling operation increases and energy-saving property falls is produced.

  However, in the present embodiment, the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body, which fixes the front end portion of the heat radiating pipe 20, is lowered one step to provide the main body step portion 24. The dimension between the bottom of the vegetable compartment 10, that is, the heat insulation distance becomes large. Therefore, the heat influence to the vegetable compartment 10 by the heat radiating pipe 20 can be reduced, and energy-saving property can be improved.

  That is, by adopting the configuration of the present embodiment, it is possible not only to stabilize the energy saving performance and the dew prevention effect, but also to improve the energy saving performance itself.

  Further, the handle member 22 of the present embodiment has the main body fixing portion 26 having a step similar to the bottom shape of the refrigerator main body, and the front screw fixing portion 30 close to the opening of the vegetable compartment 10 is fixed by the screw 31. Therefore, it can be firmly attached and fixed to the bottom of the refrigerator body 1.

  That is, since the handle member 22 has a stepped shape, the screw fixing portion 30 on the front side close to the opening of the vegetable compartment 10 is further raised and thickened. It can be firmly attached and fixed to the bottom of the main body 1.

  As a result, a handle that can withstand the weight of the refrigerator main body 1 that has increased in weight can be used, and the front end position of the heat radiating pipe 20 can be firmly and accurately fixed to a predetermined position. Thereby, energy-saving property and dew-proof effect can be further stabilized.

  In addition, since the reinforcing rib 27a is integrally formed on the lower surface of the pipe fixing portion 27 provided with the pipe fixing claw 28 of the handle member 22, the pipe fixing portion 27 tends to be lowered and the strength tends to be weakened. The strength of itself can also be increased, and the fixing of the heat radiating pipe 20 by the pipe fixing claw 28 can be made more robust, so that energy saving and stabilization of the dew-proof effect can be further enhanced.
