Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、本体の上部に冷蔵室、この冷蔵室の下部と本体の最下部とに冷凍室を設け、これらの冷凍室の間に野菜室を設けた冷蔵庫に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の冷蔵庫は、外箱と内箱の間に断熱材を発砲充填して形成される庫内を複数の温度帯で仕切って各食品の温度に適した複数の貯蔵室を設けている。
従来、上部に冷凍室、中央に冷蔵室、下部に野菜室を設けたものが主流であったが、近年、多様なレイアウトの冷蔵庫が提案されている。
【０００３】
例えば、図２５に示す従来の冷蔵庫は、中央に冷凍室２００、２５０を配置したミッドフリーザーと呼ばれる冷蔵庫である。その具体的な構造は、冷蔵庫１の最上部に開閉ドアを備えた冷蔵室１００、中央に２段に分かれて配置される引き出しドアを備えた冷凍室２００、２５０、最下部に引き出しドアを備えた野菜室３００を配置している。
【０００４】
しかし、冷蔵室１００の使い勝手は向上するものの、使用頻度が少ない冷凍室２００、２５０より下方に野菜室３００を配置しているために、しゃがみ姿勢で野菜室３００を利用しなければならず、野菜室３００の使い勝手が悪いと言える。特に野菜は鮮度がすぐ悪くなることからすれば、常に鮮度を監視しなければならない野菜室３００を冷凍食品の長期保存を行う冷凍室２００、２５０より下方に配置することは、その使用実態にそぐわないものである。
【０００５】
また、図２６に示す他の従来の冷蔵庫は、中央に野菜室３００を配置した真ん中野菜室と呼ばれる冷蔵庫である。その具体的な構造は、最下部に引き出しドアを備えた冷凍室２５０を配置し、その上部に貯氷室２０２を内部に配置した冷凍室２００を配置し、その上の冷蔵庫１中央部に野菜室３００を配置している。
【０００６】
しかし、野菜室３００の使い勝手は向上するものの、特に夏場など使用頻度が多くなる貯氷室２０２が野菜室３００より下方に配置され屈み姿勢で利用しなければならず、貯氷室２０２の使い勝手が悪いと言える。
さらに氷は、そのまま利用するため野菜室３００の下方では野菜の汚れなどが付着する可能性もあり、衛生的に問題である。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の冷蔵庫は以上のように構成されているので、図２５示す従来の冷蔵庫では、冷蔵室１００の使い勝手は向上するものの、使用頻度が少ない冷凍室２００、２５０より下方に野菜室３００を配置しているために、しゃがみ姿勢で野菜室３００を利用しなければならず、野菜室３００の使い勝手が悪いという問題点があった。
【０００８】
また、図２６に示す他の従来の冷蔵庫では、野菜室３００の使い勝手は向上するものの、特に夏場など使用頻度が多くなる貯氷室２０２が野菜室３００より下方に配置され屈み姿勢で利用しなければならず、貯氷室２０２の使い勝手が悪いという問題点があった。
さらに氷をそのまま利用するため野菜室３００の下方では野菜の汚れなどが付着する可能性もあり、衛生的に問題であった。
【０００９】
この発明は、以上のような問題点を解決するためになされたもので、冷蔵室、野菜室、冷凍室それぞれの部屋を使いやすい位置に配置し、使い勝手を向上させた冷凍冷蔵庫を提供することを目的とする。
また、従来のように野菜室の使い勝手を重視し、貯氷室が使いにくい下方に位置するのではなく貯氷室も野菜室同様に使いやすく、衛生的に配慮した冷凍冷蔵庫を提供することを目的とする。
【００１０】
また、ユーザによる食生活の違いや季節による保存食品の種類の違いなどによる必要温度帯の容量の変化に対応する冷凍冷蔵庫を提供することを目的とする。さらに、基本的に使いやすいように貯氷室、切替室、野菜室、冷蔵室を使いやすい位置に配置し、どんなタイプのユーザにも使いやすいようなレイアウトを実現した冷凍冷蔵庫を提供することを目的とする。
【００１１】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本体と、本体上部に設けられた冷蔵室と、冷蔵室の下に設けられた温度帯を切り替え可能な切替室と、冷蔵室の下に切替室と並列に設けられた氷を貯える貯氷室と、切替室及び貯氷室の下に設けられた野菜室と、野菜室の下に設けられた冷凍室と、冷蔵室と切替室及び貯氷室との間に設けられ、前面に仕切部放熱パイプが配置された第１の仕切部と、本体奥側であって第１の仕切部の下方に設けられた冷却器と、冷却器を取付後に冷却器を収納する冷却器室を区画するように取り付けられた第２の仕切部と、本体の前側より野菜室と冷凍室とを仕切るように第２の仕切部の前側に取り付けられた第３の仕切部と、を備え、本体の発泡終了後に第３の仕切部、仕切部放熱パイプを取り付けるようにした。
【００１２】
本体と、本体上部に設けられた冷蔵室と、冷蔵室の下に設けられた温度帯を切り替え可能な切替室と、冷蔵室の下に切替室と並列に設けられた氷を貯える貯氷室と、切替室及び貯氷室の下に設けられた野菜室と、野菜室下に設けられた冷凍室と、冷蔵室と切替室及び貯氷室との間に設けられた第１の仕切部と、本体奥側であって第１の仕切部の下方に本体の発泡終了後に取り付けられた冷却器と、冷却器を取付後に冷却器を収納する冷却器室を区画するように取り付けられ、冷却器室と冷凍室とを連通する風路を備えた第２の仕切部と、本体の前側より野菜室と冷凍室とを仕切るように第２の仕切部の前側に取り付けられた第３の仕切部とを備える。
【００１３】
また、第２の仕切部にファンが取り付けられている。
【００１４】
さらに、第２の仕切部に第１の仕切部を抜けて冷蔵室と連通する風路と、貯氷室と連通する風路と、切替室と連通する風路とを備える。
【００１５】
本体と、本体上部に設けられた冷蔵室と、冷蔵室の下に設けられた温度帯を切り替え可能な切替室と、冷蔵室の下に切替室と並列に設けられた氷を貯える貯氷室と、切替室及び貯氷室の下に設けられた野菜室と、野菜室の下に設けられた冷凍室と、冷蔵室と切替室及び貯氷室との間に設けられた第１の仕切部と、本体奥側であって第１の仕切部の下方に設けられた冷却器と、冷却器を収納する冷却器室を区画するとともに内部にファンと、第１の仕切部を抜けて冷蔵室と連通する風路と、貯氷室と連通する風路と、切替室と連通する風路と、冷凍室と連通する風路とが設けられた第２の仕切部と、野菜室と冷凍室との間であって第２の仕切部の前側に設けられた第３の仕切部とを備える。
【００１６】
また、第２の仕切部は、内部の風路に切替室用ダンパー及び冷蔵室用ダンパーを備えている。
【００１７】
さらに、第３の仕切部は、第２の仕切部の取付後本体の前側から挿入して取り付ける構造である。
【００１８】
【発明の実施の形態】
実施の形態１．
以下、この発明の実施の形態１を図面を参照して説明する。
図１はこの発明の実施の形態１を示す図で、冷蔵庫の正面図である。
図において、１は冷蔵庫本体であり、冷蔵庫本体１の最上部に開閉ドアを備えて配置される冷蔵室１００と、冷蔵室１００の下方に配置される引き出しドアを備えた第１の冷凍室である冷凍室２００と、冷蔵庫本体１の最下部に配置される引き出しドアを備えた第２の冷凍室である冷凍室２５０と、冷凍室２００と冷凍室２５０との間に引き出しドアを備えた野菜室３００とで構成される。
【００１９】
冷凍室２００には収納ケース２０１が設置されており食品を収納することができる。野菜室３００にも同様に収納ケース３０１が設置されており野菜等の食品を収納することができる。また、冷凍室２５０内に収納ケース２５１が設置されており食品を収納することができる。特に冷凍室２００には比較的使用頻度が高い食品、例えば弁当用の冷凍食品やアイスクリームなどを収納し、冷凍室２５０は長期保存の冷凍食品、例えば買い置きに肉や魚の素材食品を収納することで分離保存が可能である。
【００２０】
また、冷凍室２００の高さ寸法は、フリージング、短期保存用のため冷凍室２５０より小さい。フリージングは食品を薄くして行なう方が質のよい物が出来るので高さ寸法は、ストック用の冷凍室２５０より小さくて良い。逆にストック用の冷凍室２５０は高さ寸法を高くし、ストック容量を確保している。野菜室は腰を屈めずに出し入れが可能な冷蔵庫本体１の中央部に位置しており、大きな野菜類も収納しやすい使い勝手がよいものである。
【００２１】
図２はこの発明の実施の形態１を示す図で、風路の構成を示す側面断面図である。
図に示すように、冷却器３で冷却された冷気はファン装置であるファン２によって冷蔵庫本体１に循環される。冷却器３で冷却された冷気は下段の冷凍室２５０用冷凍室用送風路５を通り、送風される。また、冷却器３で冷却された冷気は上段の冷凍室２００用冷凍室送風路４を通り、上段冷凍室２００にも送風される。冷凍室送風路４を通った一部の冷気は更に上段の冷蔵室１００へと送風され冷蔵室１００を冷却する。野菜室３００は冷蔵室１００の戻り冷気を冷蔵室用帰還風路８より循環させ冷却される、そして、野菜室用帰還風路９より冷却器室３に戻される。
【００２２】
上述したように、冷凍室が上下に分離している本実施の形態においては冷凍室用の冷気送風路を上下に分離して有している。
【００２３】
実施の形態２．
以下、この発明の実施の形態２を図面を参照して説明する。
図３はこの発明の実施の形態２を示す図で、冷蔵庫の正面図である。
図において、２０２は冷凍室２００内に設置されている貯氷室である。貯氷室２０２は、市販の製氷皿や容器で氷を作り、その氷を保存するためのスペースである。自動製氷機の場合には、自動製氷機で作られた氷がためられるスペースである。
【００２４】
貯氷室２０２に保存される氷は冷凍室に収納されるものの内、比較的使用頻度が高くかつ、そのまま使用されるため冷蔵庫本体１の中央部に位置し、かつ野菜室３００の上方に位置することで使い勝手ばかりでなく、衛生面においても泥などのつきやすい野菜類を収納する野菜室３００の上方に位置することで安心し使用できるものである。
【００２５】
実施の形態３．
以下、この発明の実施の形態３を図面を参照して説明する。
図４はこの発明の実施の形態３を示す図で、冷凍冷蔵庫の正面図である。
図４（ａ）において、４００は冷蔵室１００の下部に配置される引き出しドアを備えた冷凍温度帯（−１８℃）から冷蔵、野菜、チルドの温度帯に切り替えることの出来る第１の切替室である切替室である。
【００２６】
５００は、切替室４００と最下部に配置された冷凍室２５０との間で、冷蔵庫本体１の中央部に配置される引き出しドアを備えた冷蔵、野菜、チルドなどの０℃以上の温度帯に切り替えることの出来る第２の切替室である他の切替室である。切替室４００には収納ケース４０１が設置されており、さまざまな食品の収納が可能である。同様に切替室５００にも収納ケース５０１が設置されている。
【００２７】
また、切替室５００についても切替室４００と同様に冷凍室に切替えても良い。
【００２８】
例えば、切替室４００をチルド温度帯（０℃）にし、切替室５００を野菜室にして使用すれば食品を凍らさずに長持ちさせるチルド室と野菜室が最も使いやすい位置に配置することが出来、生物思考の方には使い勝手の良い冷蔵庫となる。肉や魚も一週間程度であればチルドに収納しておいた方が、冷凍するより解凍の手間がなく便利であり、おいしい。野菜も使用頻度が高いため（キャベツやレタスなど取出し、使用後に再度収納するため野菜室の開閉頻度は他の部屋より多い）中央に位置していることで毎日の取出しはチルド室と野菜室そして冷蔵室で使いやすい。
【００２９】
また、季節によっては切替室４００を冷凍温度帯（−１８℃）に切り替え夏場などアイスクリームや氷などを使いやすい位置で、切替室５００をチルドに切り替え野菜から肉魚まで幅広く保存することで保存性も向上し使い勝手もよい冷蔵庫の配置が可能である。
【００３０】
また、切替室４００を野菜室に切替室５００を冷凍室に切替た場合は、下段の冷凍室２５０と合わせ、冷凍室の容量を大きく出来るとともに冷凍室が真ん中の冷凍志向の使いやすいレイアウトとなる。
【００３１】
さらに、図４（ｂ）に示す形態において、冷蔵室１００、切替室４００、切替室５００、冷凍室２５０のすべてを切替可能にしてもよい。すべての部屋を冷凍から野菜までの温度帯に切替可能にすることも良いが、冷蔵室１００は冷蔵とチルド、その他の部屋は冷凍から野菜といろいろな組み合わせが可能である。
【００３２】
例えば、冷蔵室１００はチルドに切替えることによってその他の部屋を冷凍に切替えて３段の冷凍室の冷蔵庫が可能である。
【００３３】
例えば、冷凍は不要の家庭においては加工食品は冷蔵室１００をチルドにして保存し、切替室４００をチルドにして肉や魚の素材を保存、切替室５００と冷凍室２５０を野菜に切替えて、使用頻度の高い野菜、例えば、サラダに使用するようなレタス、キュウリなどは使いやすい真ん中の切替室５００の野菜室に収納し、ジャガイモやタマネギなどのストック野菜を下段の冷凍室２５０を野菜に切替えた野菜室に収納することで分離保存が出来、整理性も向上する。
【００３４】
このとき貯氷コーナーについては、その部屋が冷凍温度になるかわからない、また、冷凍温度がない可能性もあるため、分離式の貯氷コーナーとし、どの部屋にも移動可能のように構成すると使いやすい。
【００３５】
実施の形態４．
以下、この発明の実施の形態４を図面を参照して説明する。
図５はこの発明の実施の形態４を示す図で、冷蔵庫の正面図である。
図５（ａ）において、６００は冷蔵室１００の下部に配置される引き出しドアを備えた貯氷室、７００は貯氷室６００に並列に配置され、引き出しドアを備えた冷凍温度帯（−１８℃）から冷蔵、野菜、チルドの温度帯に切り替えることの出来る切替室である。
【００３６】
貯氷室６００と切替室７００とには収納ケース６０１と７０１が設置されている。貯氷室６００と切替室７００とは断熱壁で天井面、側面、背面ともに完全に仕切られている。
【００３７】
貯氷室６００と切替室７００との下部には野菜室３００が、冷蔵庫本体１の最下部には冷凍室２５０がそれぞれ引き出しドアを備えて配置されている。野菜室３００と冷凍室２５０とは、それぞれの温度帯が５℃と−１８℃と異なるので、断熱壁で仕切られている。
【００３８】
例えば、切替室７００をチルドに切り替えて使用した場合は、冷蔵室１００、貯氷室６００、チルド室７００、野菜室３００が冷蔵庫本体１の中央部に位置することになり、特に冷凍させずに保存を好むチルド派のユーザに使いやすい冷蔵庫になる。
【００３９】
なぜなら、一週間程度の肉魚などの生物食品はチルド室７００に収納し、良く使う氷は独立した使いやすい貯氷室６００よりいつでも取り出しが可能である。野菜室３００は、前記の実施形態３で説明したように開閉頻度が多いので使いやすい真ん中に位置し、肉・魚・野菜・氷そして冷蔵室１００は目線の前にある使いやすい位置にあるからである。
【００４０】
また、切替室７００を冷凍室に切り替えた場合は、切替室７００へ保存する冷凍食品は比較的使用頻度の高いものや、早く使用したほうが良い食品（弁当ようの冷凍食品やアイスクリーム、いたみやすいホームフリージングした食品）を保存し、最下部の冷凍室２５０には長期保存する食品を保存することで分離することが可能となり、しいては冷凍室７００、貯氷室６００、野菜室３００、冷蔵室１００とすべての冷蔵庫の温度帯を使いやすい位置に配置することが可能になり、冷凍室の容量も増やすことができる冷凍派のユーザに使いやすい冷蔵庫になる。
【００４１】
さらに、図５（ｂ）において野菜室３００と冷凍室２５０をそれぞれ冷凍、パーシャル、チルド、冷蔵、野菜等の温度に切替可能な切替室３００と切替室２５０に構成しても良い。
【００４２】
例えば、切替室３００を野菜室に切替室２５０を冷凍室に切替えれば前述の構成と同様になるが、逆に切替室３００を冷凍室、切替室２５０を野菜室に切替えれた場合は、冷凍が真ん中にしかも切替室７００を冷凍にするより容量を多く配置することが可能となり、特に冷凍を頻繁に、かつ容量的に多く使用する家庭においては使いやすい配置が可能である。この配置はとちらかと言えば野菜室より冷凍室重視型の家庭向けのレイアウトとなる。
【００４３】
また、切替室３００と切替室２５０とを冷凍に切替えれば大容量の冷凍室が可能となり、年末年始等の冷凍食品が多い時期などの冷凍室容量不足の対応が可能となるなど、季節によっての切替が可能となる。
【００４４】
よって、購入時から約１０年使用する冷蔵庫において、季節や生活環境の変化によって冷蔵庫の温度帯の配置を自由に変更可能の冷蔵庫は常に使用者の使いやすい状態に対応できる究極の形態となる。
【００４５】
図６は、図５に示した冷蔵庫の風路の構成を示す正面断面図である。
図６（ａ）において、２はファンで冷却器３で冷却された冷気を冷蔵庫本体１に循環させる。冷却器３で冷却された冷気は貯氷室用送風路２４を通り、吹出口２４ａより貯氷室６００に供給される。同様に冷凍室用送風路５を通り、吹出し口５ａより冷凍室２５０に供給される。
【００４６】
切替室７００は、貯氷室用送風路２４を通る冷気の一部を切替室用送風路６に供給し、切替室用ダンパー６ａにより調節して切替室７００を冷却する。
【００４７】
また、切替室用送風路６を通る冷気の一部を冷蔵室用送風路７に供給し、冷蔵室用ダンパー７ａにより調節して冷蔵室１００を冷却する。その冷蔵室１００に送られた冷気を戻すための吸込み口７ｂから吸込まれた冷気を冷蔵室用帰還風路８を野菜室３００に連通させて設け、野菜室３００を冷却する。
【００４８】
野菜室３００に吹出し口９ａより冷蔵室１００より送られた冷気は野菜室３００を冷却した後に吸込み口９ｂを介して野菜室帰還風路９を通り、冷却器３に戻り口９ｃより戻される。
【００４９】
貯氷室６００に吹出された冷気は吸込み口２４ｂより貯氷室帰還風路１１を介して冷却器３に戻り口４ｃより戻される。
【００５０】
冷凍室２５０も同様に吸込み口５ｂより冷気を吸込み冷却器室３に戻される。切替室７００を冷却した冷気は、吸込み口６ｂより吸込まれ切替室用帰還風路１０を介して冷却器３に戻り口６ｃより戻される。
【００５１】
特に、冷蔵室１００の帰還風路８を野菜室３００に連通させて設けることでスペースを有効に使用することが可能となっている。それぞれに独立して帰還風路を設けると送風路に容積を必要とし、食品の収納スペースを多く取ることが出来ない。
【００５２】
図６（ｂ）は図５（ｂ）に示した冷蔵庫の風路構成を示す正面断面図である。図６（ａ）との相違点を中心に記載する。５は切替室２５０用送風路で冷却器３で冷却された冷気は切替室用送風路５を通り、切替室用ダンパー５ａにより設定温度に必要な冷気の量に調整して切替室２５０に供給され冷却される。
【００５３】
１２は切替室３００用送風路で冷却器３で冷却された冷気は切替室用送風路１２を通り、切替室ダンパー１２ａにより設定温度に必要な冷気の量に調整して切替室３００に供給され冷却される。
【００５４】
実施の形態５．
図７は、実施の形態５による冷蔵庫の風路構成図である。
上記実施の形態４では、切替室７００は、貯氷室６００を介して設けられた切替室用送風路６により送られた冷気を切替室用ダンパー６ａにより調節して切替室７００を冷却するが、図７に示すように、切替室７００の切替室用送風路１２を冷却器室３より直接送風されるように独立して設けてもよい。そのように構成することにより、切替室７００への風量が確保出来るため安定した温度制御が可能となる。
【００５５】
実施の形態６．
図８は、実施の形態６による冷蔵庫の風路構成図である。
実施の形態４との相違点を中心に記載する。貯氷室用送風路２４を通る冷気の一部が冷蔵室用送風路７に供給されるように設けた点が相違する。これにより冷蔵室用ダンパー７ａと切替室用ダンパー６ａを別の送風路に設けてあるため、冷蔵室１００へ供給される風量が切替室用ダンパ−６ａに影響されず安定した風量が供給出来るため、安定した冷蔵室１００の温度制御が可能である。
【００５６】
また同様に切替室７００へ供給される風量が冷蔵室用ダンパ−７ａに影響されず安定した風量が供給出来るため安定した切替室７００の温度制御が可能である。
【００５７】
実施の形態７．
図９は、実施の形態７による冷蔵庫の風路構成図である。
貯氷室用送風路２４、切替室用送風路６および冷蔵室用送風路７を各々独立に設けたもので、このことにより他の部屋の温度制御に影響されることなく安定した風量が供給出来るため、安定した各々の部屋の温度制御が可能である。
【００５８】
また各冷気送風路が他の部屋を介せず独立の風路であるため、各風路の連結部が存在しないため冷気漏れシール等の部品点数、コストが削減できる。
【００５９】
実施の形態８．
図１０、実施の形態８による冷蔵庫の風路構成図である。
切替室１００背面に設置された切替室用ダンパー６ａと冷蔵室用ダンパー７ａとが一体に構成されたツインダンパーにて、切替室７００と冷蔵室１００を温度制御するもので、これにより冷蔵室１００と切替室７００各々の複数の場所にダンパーを設置することが不要であり、省スペース化およびダンパーのコスト低減につながる。
【００６０】
実施の形態９．
図１１は、実施の形態９による冷蔵庫の風路構成図である。
冷蔵室１００に送られた冷気を、吸込み口７ｂから戻すための冷蔵室用帰還風路８を野菜室３００に連通させて設け、戻り冷気の一部にて野菜室３００を冷却し、残りの戻り冷気は野菜室３００に吹出さず、第２の冷蔵室用帰還風路２２を介して直接野菜室帰還風路９をとおり、冷却器３に戻り口９ｃより戻されるもので、このことにより冷蔵室１００からの冷気戻りを野菜室３００の冷えすぎを防ぐために絞る必要がないため、戻り風路の圧損を減少させることが可能となり、冷蔵室１００を多量の冷気で冷却することができ、冷却スピード等の冷却性能を向上させることができる。
【００６１】
実施の形態１０．
以下、この発明の実施の形態１０を図面を参照して説明する。
図１２は実施の形態１０による冷蔵庫の側面断面図、図１３は第２の仕切部の構造を示す斜視図、図１４は第４の仕切部の構造を示す斜視図、図１５は冷蔵庫の風路構成図である。

ファングリル５１には、貯氷室と切替室の間の熱伝導を避ける為、貯氷室と切替室の境にあたる部分にスリットを設けてある。このため、切替室がいかなる温度であっても、ファングリル５１の熱伝導による影響を受けない。
【００６５】
２４ａ、６ａ、５ａ，９ａは、それぞれファングリルに設けられた貯氷室用吹出し口、切替室用吹出し口、冷凍室用吹出し口，野菜室用吹出し口である。

【００６８】
次に、各仕切部の取付構造について説明する。
第１の仕切部４０は、内箱３１と一体成形され成型時の熱で成形断熱材４３を内箱３１と接着する事で冷気や、水の漏れがないよう取付られている。
【００６９】
第２の仕切部５０は、内箱３１に成形された凹形状に冷却器３を取付後、冷蔵庫前面より取り付け、冷却器室を区画する。第２の仕切部５０の外周は冷気、水漏れが無いようシール材が設けられている。
【００７０】
第３の仕切部６０は、冷凍室１００と野菜室３００の扉のガスケット受面を構成する前縁仕切部６１と第２の仕切部５０との間に蓋をするように取り付けられる。また、第３の仕切部６０は冷凍室１００と野菜室３００の間に冷気、水漏れが無いよう第１の仕切部４０，第２の仕切部５０，内箱３２との接合面にはシールが施されている。
【００７１】

[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional refrigerator is provided with a plurality of storage rooms suitable for the temperature of each food by partitioning an interior formed by firing and filling a heat insulating material between an outer box and an inner box with a plurality of temperature zones.
Conventionally, the mainstream is a freezer compartment at the top, a refrigerator compartment at the center, and a vegetable compartment at the bottom. Recently, various layout refrigerators have been proposed.
[0003]
For example, the conventional refrigerator shown in FIG. 25 is a refrigerator called a mid freezer in which freezing rooms 200 and 250 are arranged in the center. The specific structure includes a refrigerator compartment 100 having an open / close door at the top of the refrigerator 1, a freezer compartment 200, 250 having drawer doors arranged in two stages in the center, and a drawer door at the bottom. A vegetable room 300 is arranged.
[0004]
However, although the convenience of the refrigerator compartment 100 is improved, the vegetable room 300 must be used in a squatting position because the vegetable room 300 is disposed below the freezing rooms 200 and 250 that are less frequently used. It can be said that the convenience of the room 300 is poor. In particular, since the freshness of vegetables quickly deteriorates, it is not appropriate to arrange the vegetable room 300, which must always be monitored for freshness, below the freezing rooms 200, 250 for long-term storage of frozen foods. Is.
[0005]
Moreover, the other conventional refrigerator shown in FIG. 26 is a refrigerator called the middle vegetable room which has arrange | positioned the vegetable room 300 in the center. The specific structure is that a freezer room 250 having a drawer door is disposed at the bottom, a freezer room 200 having an ice storage room 202 disposed in the upper part thereof, and a vegetable room in the central part of the refrigerator 1 above. 300 is arranged.
[0006]
However, although the usability of the vegetable room 300 is improved, the ice storage room 202 that is frequently used particularly in summertime must be placed below the vegetable room 300 and used in a bent posture, and the ice storage room 202 is not easy to use. I can say that.
Further, since ice is used as it is, there is a possibility that vegetable stains and the like may adhere below the vegetable room 300, which is a sanitary problem.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional refrigerator is configured as described above, in the conventional refrigerator shown in FIG. 25, although the convenience of the refrigerator compartment 100 is improved, the vegetable compartment 300 is arranged below the freezer compartments 200 and 250 that are less frequently used. Therefore, the vegetable room 300 must be used in a crouching posture, and there is a problem in that the vegetable room 300 is not easy to use.
[0008]
In the other conventional refrigerator shown in FIG. 26, although the usability of the vegetable room 300 is improved, the ice storage room 202 that is frequently used especially in the summertime is arranged below the vegetable room 300 and must be used in a bent posture. In other words, there was a problem that the ice storage room 202 was not easy to use.
Further, since ice is used as it is, there is a possibility that vegetable stains and the like may adhere below the vegetable room 300, which is a sanitary problem.
[0009]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a refrigerator-freezer in which each room of a refrigerator compartment, a vegetable compartment, and a freezer compartment is arranged at an easy-to-use position and has improved usability. With the goal.
In addition, the purpose of providing a freezer refrigerator that is hygienic in consideration is to place the ice storage room as easy to use as the vegetable room, rather than being located below where the ice storage room is difficult to use. To do.
[0010]
It is another object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator-freezer that can respond to changes in the capacity of the necessary temperature range due to differences in dietary habits by users and types of stored foods depending on the season. Furthermore, the purpose is to provide a freezer / refrigerator that realizes a layout that is easy to use for any type of user by placing the ice storage room, switching room, vegetable room, and refrigeration room in an easy-to-use position for easy use.

A freezer compartment 200, a freezer compartment 250 that is a second freezer compartment provided with a drawer door disposed at the bottom of the refrigerator body 1, and a vegetable provided with a drawer door between the freezer compartment 200 and the freezer compartment 250. And chamber 300.
[0019]
A storage case 201 is installed in the freezer compartment 200 and can store food. Similarly, a storage case 301 is installed in the vegetable compartment 300 and can store food such as vegetables. A storage case 251 is installed in the freezer compartment 250 and can store food. In particular, the freezer 200 stores food that is relatively frequently used, for example, frozen food for lunch, ice cream, and the like, and the freezer 250 stores frozen food that has been stored for a long time, such as meat or fish material food for storage. Can be stored separately.
[0020]
The freezer 200 has a height smaller than that of the freezer 250 for freezing and short-term storage. The freezing can be performed by making the food thinner, so that the quality can be made smaller than that of the freezer compartment 250 for stock. On the other hand, the stock freezer compartment 250 has a high height to secure a stock capacity. The vegetable room is located in the center of the refrigerator body 1 that can be taken in and out without bending, and is easy to store large vegetables.
[0021]
FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing the structure of the air passage in the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, the cold air cooled by the cooler 3 is circulated to the refrigerator main body 1 by a fan 2 which is a fan device. The cold air cooled by the cooler 3 is blown through the freezer compartment air passage 5 for the freezer compartment 250 in the lower stage. Further, the cool air cooled by the cooler 3 passes through the freezer compartment air passage 4 for the upper freezer compartment 200 and is also sent to the upper freezer compartment 200. A part of the cold air passing through the freezer compartment air passage 4 is further blown into the upper refrigerator compartment 100 to cool the refrigerator compartment 100. The vegetable room 300 is cooled by circulating the return cold air from the refrigerating room 100 through the refrigerating room return air passage 8 and then returned to the cooler room 3 through the vegetable room return air passage 9.
[0022]
As described above, in the present embodiment in which the freezer compartment is separated into upper and lower parts, the cold air blowing passage for the freezer compartment is separated into upper and lower parts.
[0023]
Embodiment 2. FIG.
Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 3 is a front view of a refrigerator, showing Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
In the figure, reference numeral 202 denotes an ice storage room installed in the freezer room 200. The ice storage chamber 202 is a space for making ice using a commercially available ice tray or container and storing the ice. In the case of an automatic ice maker, it is a space where ice produced by an automatic ice maker is stored.
[0024]
The ice stored in the ice storage chamber 202 is stored in the freezer compartment, is relatively frequently used, and is used as it is, so that it is located at the center of the refrigerator body 1 and above the vegetable compartment 300. Therefore, it can be used with peace of mind by being located above the vegetable room 300 for storing vegetables that are easy to attach, such as mud, in terms of hygiene.
[0025]
Embodiment 3 FIG.
Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing Embodiment 3 of the present invention, and is a front view of a refrigerator-freezer.
In FIG. 4A, reference numeral 400 denotes a first switching chamber that can be switched from a refrigeration temperature zone (−18 ° C.) having a drawer door disposed at the bottom of the refrigeration chamber 100 to a temperature zone of refrigeration, vegetables, and chilled. This is a switching room.
[0026]
500 is in a temperature range of 0 ° C. or higher such as refrigeration, vegetables, chilled or the like having a drawer door disposed in the center of the refrigerator body 1 between the switching chamber 400 and the freezing chamber 250 disposed at the bottom. This is another switching chamber that is a second switching chamber that can be switched. A storage case 401 is installed in the switching chamber 400 and can store various foods. Similarly, a storage case 501 is also installed in the switching chamber 500.
[0027]
Further, the switching chamber 500 may be switched to the freezing chamber in the same manner as the switching chamber 400.
[0028]
For example, if the switching room 400 is set to a chilled temperature range (0 ° C.) and the switching room 500 is used as a vegetable room, the chilled room and the vegetable room that can last for a long time without freezing the food can be arranged in the most convenient positions. It is an easy-to-use refrigerator for biological thinking. If meat and fish are stored for about a week, storing them in chilled foods is more convenient and freezing than refrigeration. Vegetables are used frequently (take out cabbage, lettuce, etc., and store them again after use, so the vegetable room opens and closes more frequently than other rooms). Easy to use in the refrigerator.
[0029]
Depending on the season, the switching room 400 is switched to the freezing temperature range (-18 ° C), and it is preserved by switching the switching room 500 to a chilled place in a convenient location to use ice cream and ice in the summer, for a wide range of storage from vegetables to meat fish. It is possible to arrange refrigerators with improved performance and ease of use.
[0030]
Further, when the switching room 400 is switched to the vegetable room and the switching room 500 is switched to the freezer room, the freezer room can be increased in size together with the lower freezer room 250 and the freezer room has a freezer-oriented layout that is easy to use in the middle. .
[0031]
Furthermore, in the form shown in FIG. 4B, all of the refrigerating room 100, the switching room 400, the switching room 500, and the freezing room 250 may be switchable. Although it is possible to switch all the rooms to a temperature range from frozen to vegetables, the refrigerator 100 can be refrigerated and chilled, and the other rooms can be frozen to vegetables in various combinations.
[0032]
For example, the refrigerator compartment 100 can be a refrigerator having a three-stage freezer compartment by switching to another chilled state by switching to the chilled state.
[0033]
For example, in households that do not require freezing, processed foods are stored in the chilled room 100 in a chilled state, the switching room 400 is stored in a chilled state to store meat and fish materials, and the switching room 500 and the freezing room 250 are switched to vegetables. Frequently used vegetables, such as lettuce and cucumber used for salads, are stored in the vegetable room in the middle switching room 500, which is easy to use, and stock vegetables such as potatoes and onions are replaced with vegetables in the lower freezer room 250.

[0042]
For example, if the switching chamber 300 is switched to the vegetable room and the switching chamber 250 is switched to the freezing room, the configuration is the same as described above, but conversely, when the switching chamber 300 is switched to the freezing room and the switching room 250 is switched to the vegetable room, It is possible to arrange more capacity than in the case where the refrigeration is in the middle and the switching chamber 700 is refrigerated, and in particular, it is possible to use an arrangement that is easy to use in a home where refrigeration is used frequently and in a large capacity. Speaking of this arrangement, it becomes a layout for households that emphasizes freezing rooms rather than vegetable rooms.
[0043]
Moreover, if the switching room 300 and the switching room 250 are switched to freezing, a large-capacity freezing room becomes possible, and it becomes possible to cope with a shortage of freezing room capacity such as during the year-end and New Year periods when there are many frozen foods. Can be switched.
[0044]
Therefore, in a refrigerator that is used for about 10 years from the time of purchase, the refrigerator that can freely change the arrangement of the temperature zone of the refrigerator according to changes in the season and living environment is always the ultimate form that can be easily used by the user.
