Description

本発明は、照明装置を庫内に設置した冷蔵庫に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which a lighting device is installed in a cabinet.

近年、冷蔵庫内照明装置として、従来の白熱灯や電球に変わり、発熱性が低い、赤外波長がでない、低電圧駆動できる等の理由で半導体発行素子を用いるものが提案されている。   In recent years, as a lighting device in a refrigerator, a device using a semiconductor issuance element has been proposed for reasons such as low heat generation, no infrared wavelength, low voltage driving, etc., instead of conventional incandescent lamps and light bulbs.

従来の発光ダイオードを照明装置として利用した冷蔵庫としては、複数の発光ダイオードを正方形に配置し、庫内天面に設置して庫内照射しているものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   As a refrigerator using a conventional light-emitting diode as a lighting device, there is a refrigerator in which a plurality of light-emitting diodes are arranged in a square shape and installed on the top surface of the interior to irradiate the interior (for example, see Patent Document 1).

図9は特許文献1に記載された従来の製氷機の照明装置の斜視図であり、図10は図9の照明装置を製氷機の庫内天面に設置した概念図を示すものである。   FIG. 9 is a perspective view of an illumination device for a conventional ice making machine described in Patent Document 1, and FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram in which the illumination device of FIG. 9 is installed on the top surface of the ice making machine.

図9の照明装置30において、実装基板1は平板状で、一面または両面に回路パターン(図示せず)が形成され、熱伝導性の良好なエポキシ樹脂系の基板や絶縁金属基板を使用する。白色LED2は砲弾状に形成され、GaN系の青色LEDからの青色光を用いて蛍光材を励起して白色光を得る構造で、電流を通電する2本の通電端子3が導出される。   In the illuminating device 30 of FIG. 9, the mounting substrate 1 has a flat plate shape, a circuit pattern (not shown) is formed on one surface or both surfaces, and an epoxy resin substrate or an insulating metal substrate with good thermal conductivity is used. The white LED 2 is formed in a bullet shape, and has a structure in which white light is obtained by exciting a fluorescent material using blue light from a GaN-based blue LED.

断熱板4は、ウレタン等の樹脂により平板状に形成され、複数の挿通孔が並設されて、実装基板1と発光ダイオード2との間に設けられる。ここで、発光ダイオード2は通電端子3が断熱板4の挿通孔に挿通され、実装基板1の回路パターンに半田付けされて実装され、複数個が実装基板1に並設される。尚、発光ダイオード2の発熱量が少ない場合には、断熱板4は廃止しても構わない。   The heat insulating plate 4 is formed in a flat plate shape using a resin such as urethane, and is provided between the mounting substrate 1 and the light emitting diode 2 with a plurality of insertion holes arranged in parallel. Here, the light-emitting diode 2 is mounted with the energization terminal 3 inserted through the insertion hole of the heat insulating plate 4 and soldered to the circuit pattern of the mounting substrate 1, and a plurality of the light-emitting diodes 2 are arranged in parallel on the mounting substrate 1. In addition, when the emitted-heat amount of the light emitting diode 2 is small, you may abolish the heat insulation board 4. FIG.

図10において、照明装置30は、製氷機31の庫内の天面32に配置されている。   In FIG. 10, the lighting device 30 is disposed on the top surface 32 in the refrigerator of the ice making machine 31.

以上のように構成された発光ダイオードを照明装置として利用した冷蔵庫について、以下その動作を説明する。   The operation of the refrigerator using the light emitting diode configured as described above as a lighting device will be described below.

まず、冷蔵庫の扉が閉まっている時には、発光ダイオード2への通電は行なわず、庫内は照射されていない。扉が開けられると、機械式スイッチやホールIC等の電子式スイッチで開扉状態と判断され、発光ダイオード2に順方向電流が流れて、白色光が発光されて庫内が照射される。
特開2001−82869号公報
First, when the refrigerator door is closed, the light emitting diode 2 is not energized and the interior is not illuminated. When the door is opened, an electronic switch such as a mechanical switch or a Hall IC determines that the door is open, a forward current flows through the light emitting diode 2, white light is emitted, and the interior is irradiated.
JP 2001-82869 A

しかしながら、上記従来の構成では、照明装置が冷蔵庫の庫内天井面に配置されると、冷蔵庫内に庫内を分割する収納棚がある場合、収納棚の下側の保存物の視認性は、収納棚そのものや収納棚上に置かれた保存物により影が発生することにより悪化する。これは、一般家庭用冷蔵庫のように、複数の収納棚を有する場合においては、収納棚が下段になるほど顕著となる。   However, in the above conventional configuration, when the lighting device is arranged on the ceiling surface in the refrigerator, when there is a storage shelf that divides the interior of the refrigerator in the refrigerator, the visibility of the stored items below the storage shelf is: It is aggravated by shadows caused by the storage shelves themselves or the stored items placed on the storage shelves.

冷蔵庫の断熱箱体101は複数の断熱区画に区分されており最上部断熱区画の扉を回転式、それ以外の断熱区画の扉を引き出し式とする構成をとってある。すなわち、最上部から回転式扉を有する冷蔵室102、その下部に、左右方向に並べて設けた引き出し式の扉を有する製氷室103および特定冷却室104、その下部に引き出し式の扉を有する野菜室105、さらに、その下部に引き出し式の冷凍室106を配置している。そして、冷蔵室102の回転式の扉構成においては、図1に示す1枚扉の片開き式扉107と図2に示す2枚扉の観音開き式扉108とがある。   The heat insulating box 101 of the refrigerator is divided into a plurality of heat insulating compartments, and has a configuration in which the door of the uppermost heat insulating compartment is of a rotary type and the doors of other heat insulating compartments are of a drawer type. That is, the refrigerator compartment 102 having a rotary door from the top, the ice making chamber 103 and the specific cooling chamber 104 having a drawer type door arranged side by side in the left and right direction, and the vegetable room having a drawer type door in the lower part. 105, and a drawer-type freezer compartment 106 is disposed at the lower part thereof. The revolving door structure of the refrigerator compartment 102 includes a single door single door 107 shown in FIG. 1 and a double door double door 108 shown in FIG.

以下、観音開き式扉の冷蔵庫について説明する。扉は、上から冷蔵室の観音開き式扉108、製氷室の引き出し式扉109、特定冷却室の引き出し式扉110、野菜室の引き出し式扉111、冷凍室の引き出し式扉112である。   Hereinafter, the refrigerator with the double doors will be described. From the top, the doors are a double door 108 in the refrigerator compartment, a drawer door 109 in the ice making room, a drawer door 110 in the specific cooling room, a drawer door 111 in the vegetable compartment, and a drawer door 112 in the freezer compartment.

冷蔵室の回転式扉108には複数の収納ポケット108aが扉内箱内板を設置し収納スペースとして設けられており、室内には上下に複数の棚102aが設けられて、最下段には引き出し式の貯蔵ケース114と、卵収納容器115と、製氷用の水を貯水する給水タンク116が設けてある。   The revolving door 108 of the refrigerator compartment is provided with a plurality of storage pockets 108a as a storage space with the inner plate of the door inside, and a plurality of shelves 102a are provided in the room up and down, with the drawer at the bottom. A storage case 114, an egg storage container 115, and a water supply tank 116 for storing ice-making water are provided.

可視光線領域内の波長を発光する発光ダイオードを備えた照明装置140は、冷蔵室102庫内の前面から見て、棚102aの先端部より前方で扉内板117の先端部より後方である区間Dの間に位置する左側壁面と右側壁面にそれぞれ棚102aに跨って縦方向に配設されている。   The illumination device 140 including a light emitting diode that emits a wavelength in the visible light region is a section that is forward of the front end of the shelf 102a and rearward of the front end of the door inner plate 117 when viewed from the front in the refrigerator compartment 102. The left wall surface and the right wall surface positioned between D are respectively disposed in the vertical direction across the shelf 102a.

冷蔵室102は、冷蔵保存のために凍らない温度を下限に冷蔵温度帯に設定されており、通常1〜5℃で設定されている。また、最下段の収納スペース113eのうち、貯蔵ケース114は、同様に冷蔵温度帯として、日常状頻度の高い小物を収容して使うユーティリティケースとしてもよいし、肉類、魚介類などの保鮮性向上のため冷蔵温度よりもやや低めの温度、たとえば−3〜1℃の範囲としてもよい。一方、卵収納容器115や給水タンク116は、卵や水の凍結を避ける必要があるために冷蔵温度帯に維持される。   The refrigerator compartment 102 is set to a refrigerated temperature zone with a temperature that does not freeze for refrigerated storage as a lower limit, and is usually set at 1 to 5 ° C. Further, in the lowermost storage space 113e, the storage case 114 may be a utility case that accommodates and uses small items that are frequently used in daily life, as well as improving the freshness of meat, seafood, etc. Therefore, the temperature may be slightly lower than the refrigeration temperature, for example, in the range of −3 to 1 ° C. On the other hand, the egg storage container 115 and the water supply tank 116 are maintained in a refrigerated temperature zone because it is necessary to avoid freezing of eggs and water.

製氷室103は独立した扉を有する氷貯蔵室であり、給水タンク116より供給される水を凍らせて、製氷し、離氷する自動製氷装置(図示せず)を室内上部に備えて、氷を自動的に生成、貯蔵するものである。氷を貯蔵するために冷凍温度帯であるが、氷の昇華や氷同士のくっつきを促進しない程度なら、通常の冷凍温度帯よりも比較的高い冷凍温度設定も可能である。   The ice making room 103 is an ice storage room having an independent door. The ice making room 103 is equipped with an automatic ice making device (not shown) for freezing, ice-making and de-icing the water supplied from the water supply tank 116 at the top of the room. Is automatically generated and stored. Although it is a freezing temperature zone for storing ice, it can be set at a relatively higher freezing temperature than the normal freezing temperature zone as long as it does not promote ice sublimation or ice sticking.

特定冷却室104は、温度的に冷凍温度帯,冷蔵温度帯,冷凍と冷蔵の中間温度帯のいずれに設定してもよく、冷凍と冷蔵の中間温度帯としてはチルド(例えば−1〜1℃)やパーシャルフリージング(例えば−3℃〜−1℃)等の温度帯のほか、例えば−12〜−6℃の冷凍ではあるが短期貯蔵向きに温度を高めた弱冷凍の温度帯をも含めることができる。また、高湿状態や乾燥状態、解凍、急冷、調理等の特定の機能を有する室とすることも可能であり、多機能でマルチユースの利便性の高い室として利用できる。   The specific cooling chamber 104 may be set to any of a freezing temperature zone, a refrigeration temperature zone, and an intermediate temperature zone between refrigeration and refrigeration in terms of temperature, and a chilled (for example, −1 to 1 ° C.) as an intermediate temperature zone between refrigeration and refrigeration. ) And partial freezing (for example, −3 ° C. to −1 ° C.), etc., but also include a temperature range of refrigeration at −12 to −6 ° C. but weakly frozen for short-term storage. Can do. Moreover, it can also be set as the room | chamber which has specific functions, such as a high-humidity state, a dry state, thawing | decompression, rapid cooling, and cooking, and can be utilized as a highly functional and multi-use convenient room.

代表的な例としては、使用者の設定により温度帯設定を切り替え可能とした温度切替室であり、冷凍温度帯,冷蔵温度帯,冷凍と冷蔵の中間温度帯に設定できる。冷凍と冷蔵の中間温度帯としてはチルド(例えば−1〜1℃)やパーシャルフリージング(例えば−3℃〜−1℃)等の温度帯のほか、例えば−12〜−6℃の冷凍ではあるが短期貯蔵向きに温度を高めた弱冷凍の温度帯をも含めて、温度帯の切り替えを用途に応じて任意に切り替えることができる。   A typical example is a temperature switching room in which the temperature zone setting can be switched by the user's setting, and can be set to a freezing temperature zone, a refrigeration temperature zone, or an intermediate temperature zone between freezing and refrigeration. As an intermediate temperature zone between freezing and refrigeration, in addition to a temperature zone such as chilled (for example, -1 to 1 ° C) and partial freezing (for example, -3 ° C to -1 ° C), for example, -12 to -6 ° C is frozen. The temperature zone can be switched arbitrarily depending on the application, including the temperature range of weak refrigeration with the temperature increased for short-term storage.

野菜室105は、冷蔵室102と同等もしくは若干高い温度設定の2℃〜7℃とすることが多い。低温にするほど葉野菜等の蒸散や呼吸作用を抑えて、鮮度を長期間維持することが可能である。   The vegetable room 105 is often set to a temperature setting of 2 ° C. to 7 ° C., which is equal to or slightly higher than that of the refrigerator room 102. The lower the temperature, the less transpiration and respiration of leafy vegetables, and the freshness can be maintained for a long time.

冷凍室106は、冷凍保存のために冷凍温度帯に設定されており、通常−22〜−18℃で設定されているが、冷凍保存状態の向上のために、たとえば−30や−25℃の低温で設定されることもある。   The freezer compartment 106 is set in a freezing temperature zone for frozen storage, and is normally set at −22 to −18 ° C., but in order to improve the frozen storage state, for example, −30 or −25 ° C. Sometimes set at low temperatures.

次に、照明装置140について詳細に説明する。   Next, the illumination device 140 will be described in detail.

実装基板141は平板状の縦長形状で、一面または両面に回路パターン(図示せず)が形成され、熱伝導性の良好なエポキシ樹脂系の基板や絶縁金属基板を使用される。発光ダイオード142は砲弾状に形成され、GaN系の青色LEDからの青色光を用いて蛍光材を励起して白色光を得る構造である。ここで、発光ダイオード142は実装基板141の回路パターンに半田付けされて実装され、縦方向に複数個が実装基板141に並設される。   The mounting substrate 141 has a flat and vertically long shape, a circuit pattern (not shown) is formed on one surface or both surfaces, and an epoxy resin-based substrate or an insulating metal substrate having good thermal conductivity is used. The light emitting diode 142 is formed in a bullet shape and has a structure in which white light is obtained by exciting the fluorescent material using blue light from a GaN-based blue LED. Here, the light emitting diodes 142 are soldered and mounted on the circuit pattern of the mounting substrate 141, and a plurality of the light emitting diodes 142 are arranged on the mounting substrate 141 in the vertical direction.

縦方向に複数個の発光ダイオードが実装された実装基板141は、支持部材143のスペーサー144と爪145によって保持されている。支持部材143は、実装基板141を保持している辺より、他の辺が長い略台形であり、支持部材143の周りに設けた段部146と、冷蔵室の内箱147の両側壁面の支持部材143の段部146と相対するべく設けた段部148に実装基板141を支持した辺が手前になるべく断熱壁内側より組み込み発泡断熱材130より固定されている。これにより、各段部146、148により支持部材143の位置決めが容易であり、製造において支持部材を容易に組み込むことができる。尚、支持部材143を冷蔵室内箱147に組み込む際、発泡断熱材130注入時の発泡断熱材130の漏れ防止として周囲をテープで仮止めするとなお確実に組み込むことができる。   The mounting substrate 141 on which a plurality of light emitting diodes are mounted in the vertical direction is held by the spacer 144 and the claw 145 of the support member 143. The support member 143 has a substantially trapezoidal shape in which the other side is longer than the side holding the mounting substrate 141, and supports the stepped portions 146 provided around the support member 143 and both side walls of the inner box 147 of the refrigerator compartment. The side supporting the mounting substrate 141 is fixed to the stepped portion 148 provided to face the stepped portion 146 of the member 143 from the inner side of the heat insulating wall as far as possible, and fixed by the foamed heat insulating material 130. Accordingly, the support member 143 can be easily positioned by the respective step portions 146 and 148, and the support member can be easily incorporated in manufacturing. When the support member 143 is incorporated into the refrigerated compartment box 147, it can be reliably incorporated by temporarily securing the periphery with a tape to prevent the foam insulation 130 from leaking when the foam insulation 130 is injected.

また、実装基板141の下部にコネクタ160を、コネクタ接続方向は下から上となるように配設し、ハーネス161を実装基板141下部のから支持部材143内に出し、下方向からコネクタ160に接続している。これにより、コネクタ160の基板上からの高さを極力抑えることができ、照明装置140をコンパクトにできる。また、コネクタ160接続方向は下から上とすることで万一照明装置140内に水が浸入したり、基板が結露した場合にも、コネクタに水が溜まることがなく、接触不良等の故障の原因がない仕様である。   Further, the connector 160 is arranged at the lower part of the mounting board 141 so that the connector connection direction is from the bottom to the top, and the harness 161 is extended from the lower part of the mounting board 141 into the support member 143 and connected to the connector 160 from the lower side. is doing. Thereby, the height from the board | substrate of the connector 160 can be suppressed as much as possible, and the illuminating device 140 can be made compact. In addition, if the connector 160 is connected from the bottom to the top, even if water enters the lighting device 140 or the board is dewed, the connector does not collect water, and failure such as poor contact can occur. The specification has no cause.

また、冷蔵室102の両側壁中には発泡断熱材130と複合的に真空断熱材131が配設されている。   In addition, a vacuum heat insulating material 131 is disposed in the side walls of the refrigerator compartment 102 in combination with the foam heat insulating material 130.

真空断熱材131は、外箱126側に接着部材(図示せず)を用いて密着貼付けされている。また、真空断熱材131は断熱箱体101の璧厚内に配設するために薄い平面形状のものが必要となる。さらに、ホットメルトなどの接着部材は接着部に空気が混入しないように真空断熱材131の貼付け面に全面塗布されている。真空断熱材131は発泡断熱材130と一体に発泡されて断熱箱体101を構成しており、発泡断熱材130と比べて5倍〜20倍の断熱性能を有している。   The vacuum heat insulating material 131 is adhered and adhered to the outer box 126 side using an adhesive member (not shown). Further, the vacuum heat insulating material 131 is required to be thin and flat in order to be disposed within the thickness of the heat insulating box 101. Further, an adhesive member such as hot melt is applied on the entire surface of the vacuum heat insulating material 131 so that air does not enter the bonded portion. The vacuum heat insulating material 131 is foamed integrally with the foam heat insulating material 130 to form the heat insulating box 101, and has a heat insulating performance 5 to 20 times that of the foam heat insulating material 130.

これにより、冷蔵室側壁の断熱壁厚をできる限り少なくでき、冷蔵室の大容量化が図れる。   Thereby, the heat insulation wall thickness of the refrigerator compartment side wall can be reduced as much as possible, and the capacity of the refrigerator compartment can be increased.

なお、真空断熱材131を、第1,第2,第3の区画壁127,128,129及び背面内に必要に応じて挿入してもよい。   In addition, you may insert the vacuum heat insulating material 131 in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd division wall 127,128,129 and a back surface as needed.

また、真空断熱材131芯材には、無機材料としてのガラス繊維やパーライト,シリカ等の比重の大きい材料を用いる。発泡断熱材130(硬質発泡ウレタン)の密度が20〜50kg/mであるのに対して真空断熱材131の密度は200〜250kg/mと少なくとも4倍以上とすることができる。 The vacuum heat insulating material 131 is made of a material having a large specific gravity such as glass fiber, pearlite, or silica as an inorganic material. The density of the foam heat insulating material 130 (rigid foamed urethane) is 20 to 50 kg / m 3 , while the density of the vacuum heat insulating material 131 is 200 to 250 kg / m 3 , which can be at least four times higher.

ランプカバー150は、エポキシ、アクリル、ポリカーボネート、ポリエチレン、ポリスチレン、ポリプロピレンなどの透明樹脂のうち、一つの材料もしくは複合材料をベース材として形成されており、発光ダイオード142の発光部全体を覆うように支持部材143の周囲のリブ151に、冷蔵室の内箱147と同一平面になるように固定されている。   The lamp cover 150 is formed using one material or a composite material of transparent resins such as epoxy, acrylic, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene as a base material, and supports the entire light emitting portion of the light emitting diode 142. The ribs 151 around the member 143 are fixed so as to be flush with the inner box 147 of the refrigerator compartment.

図7は、発光ダイオード142の光の照射方向に関する指向性を示したグラフである。照射方向を垂直方向とすると照射される範囲は線内であり、たとえば照射量1/2では照射角は、Eの如く左右各30°である。   FIG. 7 is a graph showing the directivity of the light emitting diode 142 with respect to the light irradiation direction. Assuming that the irradiation direction is the vertical direction, the irradiation range is within a line.

図8において、実装基板141上の発光ダイオード142は、冷蔵室102の棚102aの中心に向かって照射するようにスペーサー144と爪145によって保持され、庫内を満遍なく照射できるようしている。尚冷蔵庫庫内を満遍なく照射する発光ダイオード142の照射方向は、冷蔵庫の奥行き寸法と幅寸法により微妙に変わることから、発光ダイオード142からの照射量が1/2である60°の角度を持った扇型の照射範囲(照射範囲L、R)が、棚102aの最も離れた前端部に照射できるように、実装基板141の保持角度を決定するほうが良い。   In FIG. 8, the light-emitting diodes 142 on the mounting substrate 141 are held by the spacers 144 and the claws 145 so as to irradiate toward the center of the shelf 102a of the refrigerator compartment 102, so that the interior can be irradiated uniformly. In addition, since the irradiation direction of the light emitting diode 142 that uniformly irradiates the inside of the refrigerator cabinet changes slightly depending on the depth dimension and width dimension of the refrigerator, the irradiation amount from the light emitting diode 142 has an angle of 60 °, which is ½. It is better to determine the holding angle of the mounting substrate 141 so that the fan-shaped irradiation ranges (irradiation ranges L and R) can irradiate the farthest front end of the shelf 102a.

以上のように構成された冷蔵庫について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the refrigerator comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

回転式扉は観音開き式の両開き扉108とすることによって、冷蔵室102の大容量化に対しても、扉108の開閉負担が半減近くまで軽減され、かつ、扉108開放に伴う前方スペースの確保が小さくて済み、大容量化されても冷蔵庫の実質占有スペースをコンパクトに抑えることができる。   By adopting a double-spreading double door 108 as the revolving door, the burden of opening and closing the door 108 is reduced to almost half even when the capacity of the refrigerator compartment 102 is increased, and a front space is secured when the door 108 is opened. Is small, and even if the capacity is increased, the space occupied by the refrigerator can be kept compact.

冷蔵庫の扉108が閉まっている時には、発光ダイオード142への通電は行なわず、庫内は照射されていない。2枚の扉108のどちらか一方の扉108が開けられると、冷蔵室左右の両側壁面に配設している照明装置140内の発光ダイオード142に順方向電流が流れて、白色光が発光される。   When the door 108 of the refrigerator is closed, the light emitting diode 142 is not energized and the interior is not illuminated. When one of the two doors 108 is opened, a forward current flows through the light emitting diodes 142 in the lighting device 140 provided on the left and right side walls of the refrigerator compartment, and white light is emitted. The

照明装置140は、棚102aの前端部と扉の収納ポケット(扉棚)108aの側面を囲う扉内板117の先端部との間の冷蔵室の内箱147の両側壁面に設けられているので、発光ダイオード142から発光された白色光は、ランプカバー150に進光して、冷蔵室内102内の前側面から斜め後方に向かって照射されるが、発光ダイオード142の照射中心線が棚102a上で交わるように実装基板141を支持部材143に傾けて配置したので、両側面からの照射中心線を中心とした所定の角度幅をもった照射範囲が棚102a上の大部分をカバーすることになり、収納物の前側面から棚102aの全平面に渡ってむらが少ない状態で照射でき、天井面に照明装置を配設した場合と比較して、保存物の上下位置による影の発生を抑制することができるので、庫内の下部においても保存物の視認性を向上することができる。   Since the illuminating device 140 is provided on both side wall surfaces of the inner box 147 of the refrigerator compartment between the front end portion of the shelf 102a and the front end portion of the door inner plate 117 surrounding the side surface of the door storage pocket (door shelf) 108a. The white light emitted from the light emitting diode 142 proceeds to the lamp cover 150 and is irradiated obliquely rearward from the front side surface in the refrigerator compartment 102. The irradiation center line of the light emitting diode 142 is on the shelf 102a. Since the mounting substrate 141 is inclined and arranged on the support member 143 so as to intersect with each other, the irradiation range having a predetermined angular width centered on the irradiation center line from both side surfaces covers most of the shelf 102a. Therefore, it is possible to irradiate the entire surface of the shelf 102a with less unevenness from the front side of the stored item, and suppress the generation of shadows due to the vertical position of the stored item compared to the case where the lighting device is arranged on the ceiling surface. You It is possible, it can also be improved visibility of storage products in the lower part of the refrigerator.

さらに、棚102aの中心に向かって照射することで、庫内全体を均一に、特に保存物の前面及び側面が強調され配光されることとなる。これにより、保存物の上下位置関係による影の発生を抑制し、保存物の視認性を向上することができる。   Furthermore, by irradiating toward the center of the shelf 102a, the entire interior is uniformly distributed, and in particular, the front and side surfaces of the stored items are emphasized and light distribution is performed. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the shadow by the up-and-down positional relationship of a preservation | save thing can be suppressed, and the visibility of a preservation | save thing can be improved.

また、実装基板141を冷蔵庫庫内に対して縦方向に棚102aに跨って配設することにより、一層効果を高めることができる。   Moreover, the effect can be further enhanced by arranging the mounting substrate 141 across the shelf 102a in the vertical direction with respect to the inside of the refrigerator cabinet.

また、ランプカバー150に光拡散性を持つ材料を含有することにより、指向性のある発光ダイオードの発光をランプカバー150で拡散させて庫内を照射させるので、食品等の保存物に均一な白色光が当たり視覚的な照射ムラがなくせ、更に照明の演出性を高めることができる。   Moreover, since the lamp cover 150 contains a light diffusing material, the light emitted from the directional light-emitting diode is diffused by the lamp cover 150 to irradiate the inside of the cabinet. Irradiation with light can eliminate uneven illumination, and lighting performance can be further improved.

また、ランプカバー150を、エポキシ、アクリル、ポリカーボネート、ポリエチレン、ポリスチレン、ポリプロピレンなどの透明樹脂のうち、一つの材料もしくは複合材料をベース材として形成することにより、ランプカバー150を自由な形状に成型加工できるので、容易な取り付け設計が可能になり、庫内の最適な任意の位置に照明装置が設置できる。   Further, the lamp cover 150 is formed into a free shape by forming one material or a composite material of transparent resin such as epoxy, acrylic, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene as a base material. As a result, an easy mounting design is possible, and the lighting device can be installed at an optimum position in the cabinet.

また、断熱壁130を形成する内箱147とランプカバー150は、同一平面となっているので、お客様が棚を位置変えや、清掃時に棚の移動が容易にでき、また庫内に突出していないので見栄え上も良い。   Further, since the inner box 147 and the lamp cover 150 forming the heat insulating wall 130 are in the same plane, the customer can easily change the position of the shelf or move the shelf when cleaning, and does not protrude into the cabinet. So it looks good.

また、支持部材143は、実装基板141を保持している辺より、他の辺が長い略台形であり、支持部材143の高さ寸法を極力抑えることができ、必要断熱壁を確保し支持部材部143の結露を防止できる。さらに、実装基板141を保持していない辺を長く取ることで庫内に支持部材の影が映らなく保存物の視認性をさらに向上することができる。   Further, the support member 143 has a substantially trapezoidal shape in which the other side is longer than the side holding the mounting substrate 141, the height dimension of the support member 143 can be suppressed as much as possible, and a necessary heat insulating wall is secured and the support member. Condensation of the portion 143 can be prevented. Furthermore, by taking a long side that does not hold the mounting substrate 141, the shadow of the support member does not appear in the cabinet, and the visibility of stored items can be further improved.

(Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

尚、前記実施の形態1と同様の構成については詳細な説明は省略する。   Detailed description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

冷蔵室扉108の2枚の扉に内、どちらか1枚の扉のみを開いた場合、開いた扉側の照明装置140のみを動作させる。例えば、左の扉108のみを開いた場合は、照明装置140の照射範囲はLのみであり、右の扉のみを開いた場合は、照明装置の照射範囲はRのみとなる。   When only one of the two doors of the refrigerator compartment door 108 is opened, only the lighting device 140 on the opened door side is operated. For example, when only the left door 108 is opened, the illumination range of the illumination device 140 is only L, and when only the right door is opened, the illumination range of the illumination device is only R.

お客様が、片側のみの扉を開いて取り出す保存物は、棚102aの前方部側に置かれている場合が多く、その点からも近傍の照明装置のみを動作させるだけで十分な照度を得ることができ、消費電力としては半減できる。   In many cases, the stored items that the customer opens by taking out the door on only one side are placed on the front side of the shelf 102a. From this point, sufficient illuminance can be obtained by operating only the nearby lighting device. The power consumption can be halved.

尚、両方の扉を開いた時は、両側面の照明装置が動作し、庫内全体を均一に照明することは、言うまでもない。   Needless to say, when both doors are opened, the lighting devices on both sides operate to uniformly illuminate the entire interior.

(実施の形態3)
図8で、本発明の実施の形態3を説明する。
(Embodiment 3)
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

尚、前記実施の形態1と同様の構成については詳細な説明は省略する。   Detailed description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

冷蔵室扉108の2枚の扉に内、どちらか1枚の扉のみを開いた場合、閉じている扉側の照明装置140のみを動作させる。例えば、左の扉108のみを開いた場合は、照明装置140の照射範囲はRのみであり、右の扉のみを開いた場合は、照明装置の照射範囲はLのみとなる。   When only one of the two doors of the refrigerator compartment door 108 is opened, only the lighting device 140 on the closed door side is operated. For example, when only the left door 108 is opened, the illumination range of the illumination device 140 is only R, and when only the right door is opened, the illumination range of the illumination device is only L.

冷蔵庫の奥行き寸法及び幅寸法によっては、閉じている扉側の遠い照明装置のみを動作させた方が、片側のみの扉を開いて見える庫内全体を照明するのに効率が良い場合があり、この場合でも、消費電力としては半減できる。   Depending on the depth and width dimensions of the refrigerator, it may be more efficient to illuminate the entire interior of the refrigerator when only the distant lighting device on the closed door side is operated, Even in this case, the power consumption can be halved.

尚、両方の扉を開いた時は、両側面の照明装置が動作し、庫内全体を均一に照明することは、言うまでもない。   Needless to say, when both doors are opened, the lighting devices on both sides operate to uniformly illuminate the entire interior.

以上のように、本発明にかかる冷蔵庫は、家庭用又は業務用冷蔵庫に発光ダイオードの照明を適用する場合に実施することはもちろん、扉のある物品貯蔵装置など発光ダイオード照明を適用する幅広い設備機器に応用できるものである。   As described above, the refrigerator according to the present invention is not only implemented when light-emitting diode illumination is applied to household or commercial refrigerators, but also a wide range of equipment that applies light-emitting diode illumination, such as an article storage device with a door. It can be applied to.
