Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、観音開き状の一対のドアを有するセンターフリータイプの冷蔵庫に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、例えば業務用の横型冷蔵庫の一つとして、図１０および図１１に示すようなセンターフリータイプの冷蔵庫が知られている。これは、冷蔵室４０の前面開口部に観音開き状の一対のドア４１・４２を開閉揺動自在に設ける一方、前面開口部においてドア４１・４２の揺動先端側を受け止めるための支柱を省略したものである。この種の冷蔵庫における冷蔵室４０内には、室内スペースを有効に活用するため、食材などを載置するための網棚４３が必要に応じて配置される。この場合、冷蔵室４０内の後面およびその近傍の側面に後部棚柱４４を、冷蔵室４０内の前面およびその近傍の側面に前部棚柱４５・４６をそれぞれ備え、これらの棚柱に着脱自在に棚受け具４７を掛止装着して、これらの棚受け具４７により網棚４３を受け止めて支持している。
【０００３】
このようなセンターフリータイプの冷蔵庫は、冷蔵室４０の前面開口部に支柱がないために冷蔵室４０の前面開口部を広く使え、精肉・鮮魚などの大きな食材や料理済みの食材を冷蔵室４０内へ容易に出し入れできるといった利点がある。その反面、前面開口部の幅が広くなった分だけ前部棚柱４５・４６間の距離も大きくなり、これらの前部棚柱４５・４６によって前側部分を支持される網棚４３の横幅寸法も大きくならざるを得ないことから、網棚４３上に載置された食材の重量によって網棚４３の前部が撓むおそれが生じる。このため、従来、網棚４３の枠を形成するパイプのうち、前側のパイプを太くして網棚４３の剛性を高めることを行っていた。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、上述のような横幅寸法の大きな専用の網棚４３を使用したセンタフリータイプの冷蔵庫では、センターフリータイプに比べて間口の狭い通常タイプの冷蔵庫と網棚を共通使用できないという問題がある。また、比較的背の高い食材や容器などの場合、冷蔵室４０内に網棚４３を配置したままでは収容することができない。このため、例えば瓶のように横方向のスペースをあまり取らない縦長のものを収める場合でも網棚４３を取り外す必要があるが、その場合、残りのスペースには、網棚があれば複数段に載置できる食材などであっても網棚がないために１段にしか収容できないことから、その上方のスペースが無駄になってしまう。
【０００５】
本発明の目的は、観音開き状のドアを有するセンターフリータイプの冷蔵庫において、センターフリータイプでない通常タイプの冷蔵庫との間で棚を共通使用でき、かつ比較的背の高い縦長の食材などとそうでない食材などとを効率よく収容できるようにすることにある。本発明の他の目的は、観音開き状のドアの隣に別のドアを設けたセンターフリータイプの冷蔵庫において、当該別のドアの揺動先端側を受け止める支柱を利用して、センターフリーでない通常タイプの冷蔵庫との間で棚を共通使用でき、かつ比較的背の高い縦長の食材などとそうでない食材などとを効率よく収容できるようにすることにある。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明に係る冷蔵庫は、例えば図１に示すごとく冷蔵室７の前面開口部８で開閉揺動する観音開き状の一対のドア９・１０を有する。そして、各ドア９・１０の揺動軸近傍における冷蔵室内面側に前部棚柱２３・２４をそれぞれ設けている。前部棚柱２３・２４には、複数の掛止穴２５を上下方向に所定間隔をあけて設けている。これらの掛止穴２５には、棚受け具２６が着脱自在に取り付けられるようになっている。両前部棚柱２３・２４の掛止穴２５に取り付けた棚受け具２６間には、冷蔵室７内に設けられる棚１４の前部を受け止めて支持する棚支持具２２を架け渡している。一端側が前部棚柱２３・２４の掛止穴２５に着脱自在に掛止装着され、かつ他端側が棚支持具２２上に取り付けられる固定具３０を有し、この固定具３０と棚受け具２６とによって棚支持具２２の長手方向の両端部を挟持するようになっている。棚支持具２２は、鉄鋼板、ステンレス鋼板などで形成することができる。ここでの冷蔵庫は、観音開き状の第１ドア９・１０とは別の第２ドア（図示例では片開き式ドア）１１を設けたものも含み、また冷凍庫および保温庫などを含んでいる。棚１４には網棚やトレイ状のもの、更には板状のものなどが含まれる。
【０００７】
固定具３０に、棚支持具２２の上面にビス止めされる当接片３２と、当接片３２から立設して、前部棚柱２３・２４の掛止穴２５に嵌め込むことで前部棚柱２３・２４に掛止装着される掛止片３３とを備えているものとすることができる。棚受け具２６は、短冊状の板材をフ字状に折り曲げるとともに、この上下両端部をそれぞれ上下に折り曲げることで構成してあり、棚受け具２６のフ字状部分を弾性変形させて、前部棚柱２３・２４の上下方向の掛止穴２５に上下両端部をそれぞれ嵌め込むことで、棚受け具２６が前部棚柱２３・２４に掛止装着されるものとすることができる。棚受け具２６の上面には、棚１４が棚受け具２６から外れるのを防ぐためのピン２７を立設してあるものとすることができる。
【０００８】
冷蔵室７の前面開口部８に、観音開き状の第１ドア９・１０とは別に第２ドア１１を設け、冷蔵室７の前側に、第２ドア１１の揺動先端側を受け止める支柱１２を設けた場合には、支柱１２の後面に、前部棚柱２３・２４のうちの一方の棚柱２３を配置することができる。第２ドア１１は、第１ドア９・１０の一方の揺動軸側、または第１ドア９・１０の両方の揺動軸側にそれぞれ設けることができる。
【０００９】
【作用および発明の効果】
本発明の冷蔵庫によれば、棚支持具２２が棚１４の前部を受け止めて支持することで、前部棚柱２３・２４間の横幅寸法が大きくても、棚１４上に載置された食材の重量によって棚１４の前部が撓むことが防止され、この結果、前側の剛性を高めた専用の棚を用いなくても済む。しかも、前部棚柱２３・２４間の横幅寸法よりも横幅寸法の短い通常のドアのみを有する通常タイプの冷蔵庫の棚などであっても、かかる棚の前部を棚支持具２２で受け止めて支持でき、この結果、観音開き状の第１ドア９・１０を有するセンターフリータイプの冷蔵庫と、通常タイプの冷蔵庫とで棚を共通使用できる。この場合、センターフリータイプの冷蔵庫用と、通常タイプの冷蔵庫用との棚を区別して管理する必要がなく、棚の管理の手間が軽減される。また、例えば食材を収めた縦長の容器３５を収容する場合には、図８に示すごとく横幅寸法の小さい棚１６の前部を棚支持具２２で受け止めて支持することで、縦長の容器３５を棚１６の横側（図８中では右側）に収めながら、背の低い食材を棚１６を使って２段に載置でき、冷蔵室内に比較的背の高い縦長の食材などとそうでない食材などとを効率よく収容できる。
【００１０】
観音開き状の第１ドア９・１０とは別の第２ドア１１の揺動先端側を受け止める支柱１２の後面に、一方の前部棚柱２３が配置されているときには、前部棚柱２３が支柱１２によって隠れ、これが外側から見えず外観上の体裁がよい。棚支持具２２が、従来から使用されている前部棚柱２３・２４の棚受け具２６で受け止められて支持されていると、棚支持具２２を受け止めて支持する構成を新たに設計する必要がないうえ、従来からあるセンターフリータイプの冷蔵庫に、本発明の棚支持具２２をそのまま適用できる。前部棚柱２３・２４および後部棚柱２０の掛止穴２５に棚受け具２６を着脱自在に掛止装着したときには、棚１４の高さ調節を容易に行える。そのうえで棚受け具２６と固定具３０とによって棚支持具２２の長手方向の両端部が挟持されると、棚支持具２２が棚柱２３・２４から外れることがなく、棚支持具２２と棚柱２３・２４との係合状態を確実に維持できる。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１ないし図７は本発明に係る冷蔵庫の一実施例を示しており、図２に示すごとく冷蔵庫本体１と機械室２とを備え、冷蔵庫本体１の底部に脚３を配置してある。機械室２には、冷凍機やコントローラ（いずれも図示せず）、さらにはコントロール用の操作盤４などを配置してあり、機械室２の前面パネル５には冷凍機の放熱用の空気吸い込み口６を配置してある。
【００１２】
冷蔵庫本体１は、ステンレス板材製の角形の内箱および外箱からなる２重壁を有し、内箱と外箱との間に断熱材（例えば発泡樹脂）を充填してある。冷蔵庫本体１内の冷蔵室７の前面開口部８には、観音開き状の一対の第１ドア９・１０と、通常の第２ドア１１とをそれぞれ開閉揺動自在に設けてあり、さらに前面開口部８の左右中間部には第１ドア９・１０の一方のドア９の揺動軸側に、片開き式の第２ドア１１の揺動先端側を受け止める支柱１２を設けてある。
【００１３】
冷蔵室７内には、図１に示すごとく、比較的横幅寸法の小さい第１網棚１３と、これよりも横幅寸法の大きい横長形状の第２網棚１４とが後述する棚支持構造１５で水平姿勢に支持される。第１網棚１３は第２ドア１１側（図１中では左側）に配置され、第２網棚１４は第１ドア９・１０側（図１中では右側）に配置される。棚支持構造１５は、両網棚１３・１４をそれぞれ高さ調節可能にしてあり、第１網棚１３の前後をそれぞれ支持する後部棚柱１７および前部棚柱１８と、第２網棚１４の後部を支持する後部棚柱２０と、第２網棚１４の前部を支持する棚支持具２２とからなる。
【００１４】
つまり図１中の冷蔵室７内の左側部分において、２本の後部棚柱１７が、冷蔵室７の後面にビス止め固定され、２本の前部棚柱１８が、冷蔵室７の前面と支柱１２の後面とにそれぞれビス止めにより固定される。一方、図１中の冷蔵室７内の右側部分において、４本の後部棚柱２０が、冷蔵室７の後面とその近傍の側面とにそれぞれビス止め固定され、棚支持具２２を架け渡すための前部棚柱２３・２４が、各第１ドア９・１０の揺動軸近傍における支柱１２の後面と冷蔵室７の側面とにそれぞれビス止めにより固定されている。
【００１５】
これらの棚柱１７・１８・２０・２３・２４はいずれも同じ構成であり、図５に示すごとくステンレス板材を断面ハット状に形成した枠体からなり、この突壁に、複数個の四角形の掛止穴２５を上下方向に所定間隔をあけて設けてある（図７参照）。また、各棚柱には、図６に示すごとく短冊状のステンレス板材をフ字状に折り曲げるとともに、この上下両端部をそれぞれ上下に折り曲げた棚受け具２６を装着してある。つまり、棚受け具２６は、フ字状部分を弾性変形させて、棚柱の上下方向に隣合う２個の掛止穴２５に上下両端部を嵌め込むことで棚柱に着脱自在に掛止装着されて、かかる棚受け具２６の上面で網棚１３・１４の所定部分を受け止める。棚受け具２６の上面には、網棚１４が棚受け具２６から外れるのを防ぐためのピン２７を立設してある。
【００１６】
棚支持具２２は、図４に示すごとくステンレス板材の前後両端部を下方に折り曲げて、断面コ字状に形成してあり、棚支持具２２の左右両端部には、前部棚柱２３・２４に取り付けられた棚受け具２６のピン２７が嵌合する嵌合穴２８と、固定具３０をビス止めするためのビス穴２９とをそれぞれ設けてある。各固定具３０は、棚支持具２２の上面にビス止めされる当接片３２と、当接片３２から立設して、前部棚柱２３・２４の掛止穴２５に嵌め込むことで前部棚柱２３・２４に掛止装着される掛止片３３とを備えており、当接片３２にはビス挿通穴３１を設けてある。そして、棚支持具２２は、棚受け具２６と固定具３０とで挟み込まれることにより、前部棚柱２３・２４にしっかりと固定される。
【００１７】
本実施例の作用を説明すると、まず各棚柱１７・１８・２０・２３・２４の掛止穴２５の中から所望高さの掛止穴２５を選択し、かかる掛止穴２５に各棚柱の棚受け具２６を掛止装着する。さらに冷蔵室７内の右側部分における左右の前部棚柱２３・２４の棚受け具２６間に棚支持具２２を架け渡した状態で、固定具３０の掛止片３３を前部棚柱２３・２４の掛止穴２５に嵌め込んで前部棚柱２３・２４に掛止装着し、さらに棚支持具２２に固定具３０をビス止めして、棚支持具２２を前部棚柱２３・２４に固定する。
【００１８】
次いで、網棚１３を前後の棚柱１７・１８の各棚受け具２６の上面に載置し、網棚１４を後部棚柱２０の各棚受け具２６の上面と、棚支持具２２の上面とに載置する。この状態で網棚１３・１４によって冷蔵室７内が上下２段に区画される。そして、ドア１１を開いて網棚１３上あるいは冷蔵室７の底部に食材を載置し、また観音開き状の第１ドア９・１０を開いて網棚１４上あるいは冷蔵室７の底部に食材を載置する。網棚１３・１４の高さを変更する場合には、各棚柱の棚受け具２６を掛止装着する掛止穴２５を変更し、これに合わせて固定具３０の掛止片３３を嵌め込む前部棚柱２３・２４の掛止穴２５を変更する。
【００１９】
一方、例えば背の高い容器３５を、観音開き状の第１ドア９・１０側の冷蔵室７内に収容する場合には、図８に示すごとく横長の網棚１４に代えて横幅寸法の小さい網棚１６を、後部棚柱２０の各棚受け具２６の上面と、棚支持具２２の上面とに亘って載置する。この状態で、背の高い容器３５が、網棚１６の横側（図８中では右側）の冷蔵室７の底部に載置され、背の低い食材が、網棚１６上あるいは図８中の左側の冷蔵室７の底部に載置される。また冷蔵室７内の横幅全体にわたる網棚を使用する必要がなく、通常タイプの冷蔵庫に使用されている網棚を使用することができ、この結果センターフリータイプの冷蔵庫と、通常タイプの冷蔵庫との間で網棚を共通使用できる。
【００２０】
図９は本発明に係る冷蔵庫の他の実施例を示しており、この場合の冷蔵庫本体１は、上記実施例のそれよりも横幅寸法が小さく、ドアとして観音開き状の一対のドア９・１０のみを備える。この冷蔵庫は、前部棚柱２３・２４を、各ドア９・１０の揺動軸近傍における冷蔵室の前面両端付近にそれぞれビス止めにより固定される。
【００２１】
網棚１３・１４は上下方向にそれぞれ複数段設けてもよい。棚柱１７・１８・２０・２３・２４の掛止穴２５の形状は棚受け具２６を掛止装着できる形状であればよく、また棚受け具２６の形状は、網棚１３・１４および棚支持具２２を受け止めて支持できる形状であればよく、これらは他の任意の形状を採用することができる。後部棚柱１７・２０は、冷蔵室７の後面あるいは側面の任意の位置および任意の本数を選択できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a center-free type refrigerator having a pair of double doors.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, a center-free type refrigerator as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is known as one of commercial horizontal refrigerators. This is because a pair of double doors 41 and 42 are provided at the front opening of the refrigerating chamber 40 so as to be freely openable and swayable, while the support for receiving the swinging tip side of the doors 41 and 42 at the front opening is omitted. Is. In the refrigerator compartment 40 of this type of refrigerator, a net shelf 43 for placing foods and the like is arranged as necessary in order to effectively use the indoor space. In this case, the rear shelf column 44 is provided on the rear surface in the refrigerator compartment 40 and the side surface in the vicinity thereof, and the front shelf columns 45 and 46 are provided on the front surface in the refrigerator compartment 40 and the side surfaces in the vicinity thereof. The shelf holders 47 are freely hooked and attached, and the shelf racks 47 receive and support the net shelf 43.
[0003]
Such a center-free type refrigerator has no support in the front opening of the refrigerator compartment 40, so the front opening of the refrigerator compartment 40 can be used widely, and large ingredients such as meat and fresh fish and cooked ingredients can be used in the refrigerator compartment 40. There is an advantage that it can be easily put in and out. On the other hand, the distance between the front shelf columns 45 and 46 increases as the width of the front opening increases, and the width dimension of the net shelf 43 supported by the front shelf columns 45 and 46 also on the front side is also increased. Since it must be large, the front part of the net shelf 43 may bend due to the weight of the food placed on the net shelf 43. For this reason, conventionally, among the pipes forming the frame of the net shelf 43, the front pipe has been thickened to increase the rigidity of the net shelf 43.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the center-free type refrigerator using the dedicated net shelf 43 having a large lateral width as described above, there is a problem that the normal type refrigerator and the net shelf, which have a narrower opening than the center free type, cannot be used in common. In addition, in the case of a relatively tall food or container, it cannot be accommodated with the net shelf 43 placed in the refrigerator compartment 40. For this reason, it is necessary to remove the net shelves 43 even when storing vertically long items such as bottles that do not take much space in the horizontal direction. In that case, if there are net shelves in the remaining space, they are placed in multiple stages. Even foods that can be made can be accommodated only in one stage because there is no net shelf, so the space above it is wasted.
[0005]
The object of the present invention is that a center-free type refrigerator having a double door can be used in common with a normal type refrigerator that is not a center-free type, and is not so long as a relatively tall vertical food. It is to enable efficient accommodation of food and the like. Another object of the present invention is a center-free type refrigerator in which another door is provided next to a double door, and a normal type that is not center-free by using a support column that receives the swinging tip side of the other door. A shelf can be used in common with other refrigerators, and a relatively tall tall food and other food can be efficiently accommodated.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The refrigerator according to the present invention has, for example, a pair of double doors 9 and 10 that opens and closes at the front opening 8 of the refrigerator compartment 7 as shown in FIG. And the front shelf pillars 23 and 24 are each provided in the refrigerator compartment surface side in the vicinity of the rocking | fluctuation axis | shaft of each door 9 * 10 . The front shelf columns 23 and 24 are provided with a plurality of retaining holes 25 at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. A shelf holder 26 is detachably attached to these retaining holes 25. Between the shelf holders 26 attached to the retaining holes 25 of both front shelf columns 23 and 24 , a shelf support member 22 that bridges and supports the front part of the shelf 14 provided in the refrigerator compartment 7 is bridged. . One end side has a fixture 30 that is detachably latched and attached to the latch holes 25 of the front shelf columns 23 and 24, and the other end side is attached to the shelf support tool 22. The fixture 30 and the shelf holder 26, the both ends of the shelf support 22 in the longitudinal direction are clamped. The shelf support 22 can be formed of a steel plate, a stainless steel plate, or the like. The refrigerator here includes one provided with a second door (a single-open door in the illustrated example) 11 different from the first doors 9 and 10 having a double door opening, and also includes a freezer and a heat storage. The shelves 14 include net shelves, trays, and plates.
[0007]
An abutment piece 32 that is screwed to the upper surface of the shelf support 22 and a standing piece 32 on the fixture 30, and is fitted in the retaining holes 25 of the front shelf columns 23 and 24. It can be provided with the latching piece 33 latched and mounted to the partial shelf pillars 23 and 24. The shelf holder 26 is formed by bending a strip-shaped plate material into a U-shape and bending the upper and lower end portions thereof up and down, and elastically deforming the U-shaped portion of the shelf holder 26 to By fitting both upper and lower ends into the vertical retaining holes 25 of the partial shelf columns 23 and 24, the shelf holder 26 can be latched and attached to the front shelf columns 23 and 24. On the upper surface of the shelf holder 26, pins 27 for preventing the shelf 14 from being detached from the shelf holder 26 can be provided upright.
[0008]
A second door 11 is provided in the front opening 8 of the refrigerating chamber 7 in addition to the first doors 9 and 10 having the double doors, and a column 12 for receiving the swinging front end side of the second door 11 is provided on the front side of the refrigerating chamber 7. When provided, one shelf column 23 of the front shelf columns 23 and 24 can be disposed on the rear surface of the support column 12. The second door 11 can be provided on one swing shaft side of the first door 9 or 10 or on both swing shaft sides of the first door 9 or 10.
[0009]
[Operation and effect of the invention]
According to the refrigerator of the present invention, the shelf support 22 receives and supports the front portion of the shelf 14, so that it is placed on the shelf 14 even if the width between the front shelf columns 23 and 24 is large. The front part of the shelf 14 is prevented from bending due to the weight of the food material, and as a result, it is not necessary to use a dedicated shelf with increased front rigidity. Moreover, even if it is a shelf of a normal type refrigerator having only a normal door whose width is shorter than the width between the front shelf columns 23 and 24, the front of the shelf is received by the shelf support 22. As a result, the center-free refrigerator having the double doors 1 and 9 and the normal refrigerator can be used in common. In this case, it is not necessary to distinguish and manage the shelves for the center free type refrigerator and the normal type refrigerator, and the labor for managing the shelves is reduced. Further, for example, when storing a vertically long container 35 containing foodstuffs, the front of the shelf 16 having a small width is received and supported by the shelf support 22 as shown in FIG. While being stored on the side of the shelf 16 (right side in FIG. 8), a short food can be placed in two stages using the shelf 16, and a relatively tall and long food in the refrigerated room and a food that is not so. Can be accommodated efficiently.
[0010]
When one front shelf column 23 is arranged on the rear surface of the column 12 that receives the swinging tip side of the second door 11 different from the first doors 9 and 10 having the double doors, the front shelf column 23 is It is hidden by the pillars 12 and cannot be seen from the outside. When the shelf support 22 is received and supported by the shelf supports 26 of the front shelf columns 23 and 24 that are conventionally used, it is necessary to newly design a configuration for receiving and supporting the shelf support 22 In addition, the shelf support 22 of the present invention can be applied to a conventional center-free type refrigerator as it is. When the shelf holders 26 are detachably attached to the retaining holes 25 of the front shelf pillars 23 and 24 and the rear shelf pillar 20, the height of the shelf 14 can be easily adjusted. In addition, when both ends in the longitudinal direction of the shelf support 22 are sandwiched between the shelf support 26 and the fixture 30, the shelf support 22 is not detached from the shelf columns 23 and 24, and the shelf support 22 and the shelf columns are not removed. It is possible to reliably maintain the engaged state with 23 and 24.
[0011]
