Description

本発明の実施形態は、冷蔵庫に関する。   Embodiments of the present invention relate to a refrigerator.

冷蔵庫は、その断熱性能の向上及び省エネルギー化を図るために、冷蔵庫本体となる断熱箱体を構成する外箱と内箱の間の空間に断熱材を挟み込んで構成されている。また、冷蔵庫の断熱箱体の開口部分を封止する扉も、外板と内板の間に断熱材を挟み込んで構成される。冷蔵庫は、断熱材として発泡ポリウレタンが使用されたものが多いが、近年、発泡ポリウレタンに代わって真空断熱材も使用されるようになっている。例えば特許文献１では、真空断熱材を扉外板に接着固定した後、扉内板と外板の間の空間に発泡ポリウレタンを充填する提案がなされている。   In order to improve the heat insulation performance and save energy, the refrigerator is configured by sandwiching a heat insulating material in a space between an outer box and an inner box constituting a heat insulating box body serving as a refrigerator main body. Moreover, the door which seals the opening part of the heat insulation box of a refrigerator is also comprised by inserting a heat insulating material between an outer plate and an inner plate. Many refrigerators use foamed polyurethane as a heat insulating material, but in recent years, vacuum heat insulating materials have been used instead of foamed polyurethane. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes filling a space between a door inner plate and an outer plate with foamed polyurethane after the vacuum heat insulating material is bonded and fixed to the door outer plate.

真空断熱材は、コア材をアルミニウム箔又はアルミニウム蒸着と合成樹脂とのラミネートフィルムで真空パックして構成され、パネル状に形成されている。しかし、真空断熱材のパネルは、製品によって厚みが異なる場合がある。冷蔵庫の扉は常に一定の厚みに形成する必要があるため、真空断熱材のパネルを断熱材として使用するためには、真空断熱材の個体差による厚みの変化を吸収可能な構造が必要となる。   The vacuum heat insulating material is configured by vacuum packing a core material with a laminated film of aluminum foil or aluminum vapor deposition and synthetic resin, and is formed in a panel shape. However, the thickness of the vacuum insulation panel may vary depending on the product. Since it is necessary to always form the door of the refrigerator with a certain thickness, in order to use the vacuum insulation panel as a thermal insulation, a structure capable of absorbing the change in thickness due to individual differences of the vacuum insulation is required. .

以下、実施の形態を図に基づいて詳説する。   Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

（第１の実施の形態）
図１及び図２に示すように、本実施形態における冷蔵庫１は、正面を開口とし、内側を複数の部屋に区画された断熱箱体３と、各部屋の正面側の開口を封止する複数の扉２１〜２６と、を備える。尚、以下の説明において、図１における扉がある方向を正面側、断熱箱体３の内側に位置する方向を背面側として述べる。 (First embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the refrigerator 1 in the present embodiment has a heat insulating box 3 whose front is an opening and the inside is partitioned into a plurality of rooms, and a plurality of openings that seal the front opening of each room. Doors 21-26. In the following description, the direction in which the door is located in FIG. 1 will be described as the front side, and the direction located inside the heat insulating box 3 will be described as the back side.

断熱箱体３は、内箱と外箱との間に断熱材としてそれらの対向面のほぼ全面にＶＩＰ（Ｖａｃｕｕｍ Ｉｎｓｕｌａｔｉｏｎ Ｐａｎｅｌ）と呼ばれる真空断熱材３５を挟み込んで構成されている。尚、図２においては、説明のために冷蔵庫１の向かって右側面板の真空断熱材３５を透過させているが、上面板、底面板、左側面板、背面板の全てに真空断熱材３５が配設されている。   The heat insulating box 3 is configured by sandwiching a vacuum heat insulating material 35 called VIP (Vacuum Insulation Panel) as a heat insulating material between the inner box and the outer box over almost the entire surface thereof. In FIG. 2, the vacuum heat insulating material 35 on the right side plate is transmitted toward the refrigerator 1 for the sake of explanation, but the vacuum heat insulating material 35 is arranged on all of the top plate, the bottom plate, the left side plate, and the back plate. It is installed.

この断熱箱体３は、上方から順に冷蔵室１１と、野菜室１２と、横並びの製氷室１３及び第一冷凍室１４と、第二冷凍室１５の５個の部屋に区画されている。冷蔵室１１の正面側の開口には、観音開き式の冷蔵室第一扉２１と冷蔵室第二扉２２が取り付けられている。また、野菜室１２、製氷室１３、第一冷凍室１４、第二冷凍室１５の正面側の開口には、夫々引出し式の野菜室扉２３、製氷室扉２４、第一冷凍室扉２５、第二冷凍室扉２６が取り付けられている。   The heat insulation box 3 is partitioned into five rooms of a refrigerator compartment 11, a vegetable compartment 12, a side-by-side ice making room 13, a first freezer compartment 14, and a second freezer compartment 15 in order from the top. At the front opening of the refrigerating room 11, a double door refrigerating room first door 21 and a refrigerating room second door 22 are attached. In addition, in the opening on the front side of the vegetable room 12, the ice making room 13, the first freezing room 14, and the second freezing room 15, a drawer type vegetable room door 23, an ice making room door 24, a first freezing room door 25, respectively. A second freezer compartment door 26 is attached.

冷蔵庫１の扉にも、ＶＩＰと呼ばれる真空断熱材３５が用いられている。このＶＩＰは、グラスウールのような無機コア材をアルミニウム箔又はアルミニウム蒸着と合成樹脂とのラミネートフィルムで真空パックした構造であるが、製造上厚みを厳密に一定に形成するのが困難であり、厚みに個体差が生じる特性がある。冷蔵庫１の扉は、閉じたときに確実に密閉される必要があり、そのためには外板からガスケット嵌合部材までの距離を一定にする必要がある。そこで、厚みに個体差があるＶＩＰを断熱材として用いながら同一サイズの扉を製造するためには、ＶＩＰの厚みの変化を吸収できる構造が必要となる。以下、このようなＶＩＰの厚みの変化に対応できる扉の構造について述べる。   A vacuum heat insulating material 35 called VIP is also used for the door of the refrigerator 1. This VIP has a structure in which an inorganic core material such as glass wool is vacuum-packed with an aluminum foil or a laminate film of aluminum vapor deposition and a synthetic resin, but it is difficult to form a thickness that is strictly constant in terms of manufacturing. Have characteristics that cause individual differences. The door of the refrigerator 1 needs to be reliably sealed when closed, and for that purpose, the distance from the outer plate to the gasket fitting member needs to be constant. Therefore, in order to manufacture a door of the same size while using VIPs having individual differences in thickness as a heat insulating material, a structure capable of absorbing a change in the thickness of the VIP is required. Hereinafter, the structure of the door that can cope with such a change in the thickness of the VIP will be described.

扉の構造の説明のため、代表して第二冷凍室扉２６について説明する。図３乃至図５に示すように、第二冷凍室扉２６は、外板３１と、内板３２と、側枠３３と、ガスケット嵌合部材４０と、スロート部材３４と、真空断熱材３５と、ファスナー３６と、ガスケット３７と、取手３９と、を備えている。この第二冷凍室扉２６では、ガスケット嵌合部材４０の枠内側にスロート部材３４が連結されて一体に形成されている。   For the description of the door structure, the second freezer compartment door 26 will be described as a representative. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the second freezer compartment door 26 includes an outer plate 31, an inner plate 32, a side frame 33, a gasket fitting member 40, a throat member 34, and a vacuum heat insulating material 35. , A fastener 36, a gasket 37, and a handle 39. In the second freezer compartment door 26, the throat member 34 is connected to the inside of the frame of the gasket fitting member 40 and is integrally formed.

そして、第二冷凍室扉２６は、側枠３３の正面側端部近傍に外板３１が固定され、側枠３３の背面側端部近傍にガスケット嵌合部材４０及びスロート部材３４が固定されている。また、第二冷凍室扉２６は、スロート部材３４の正面側に内板３２が配置され、外板３１と内板３２との間にそれらのほぼ全対向面を占める広さの真空断熱材３５が配置されている。ガスケット嵌合部材４０の背面側にはガスケット３７が嵌着されている。外板３１の正面には取手３９が取り付けられている。   In the second freezer compartment door 26, the outer plate 31 is fixed near the front side end of the side frame 33, and the gasket fitting member 40 and the throat member 34 are fixed near the rear side end of the side frame 33. Yes. Further, the second freezer compartment door 26 has an inner plate 32 disposed on the front side of the throat member 34, and a vacuum heat insulating material 35 having a width that occupies almost all the opposed surfaces between the outer plate 31 and the inner plate 32. Is arranged. A gasket 37 is fitted on the back side of the gasket fitting member 40. A handle 39 is attached to the front surface of the outer plate 31.

真空断熱材３５は、外周部にソフトテープ４１が巻装されている。ソフトテープ４１は断熱効果を備えた素材であり、例えば、スポンジテープのようなものを用いることができる。真空断熱材３５は、正面を外板３１に接着固定されている。また、真空断熱材３５の背面には、複数のファスナー３６が接着などによって固定されている。   As for the vacuum heat insulating material 35, the soft tape 41 is wound by the outer peripheral part. The soft tape 41 is a material having a heat insulating effect, and for example, a material such as sponge tape can be used. The vacuum heat insulating material 35 is bonded and fixed to the outer plate 31 at the front. A plurality of fasteners 36 are fixed to the back surface of the vacuum heat insulating material 35 by bonding or the like.

ファスナー３６は、平板である基板３６ａと、基板３６ａの中央から背面側に延在する円筒部３６ｂと、からなる。円筒部３６ｂの孔は、後述する螺子４２が螺着されるねじ穴である。このファスナー３６は、基板３６ａが真空断熱材３５に接着固定され、円筒部３６ｂが内板３２を貫通してスロート部材３４の端部に当接し、螺子４２によってこのスロート部材３４の端部を固定している。ファスナー３６とスロート部材３４が固定された状態では、スロート部材３４と一体形成されたガスケット嵌合部材４０の正面側端部と真空断熱材３５との間に内板３２が存在する場合に、内板３２の板厚より大である離間距離の離間部４４が形成されている。 The fastener 36 includes a flat substrate 36a and a cylindrical portion 36b extending from the center of the substrate 36a to the back side. The hole of the cylindrical portion 36b is a screw hole into which a screw 42 described later is screwed. In the fastener 36, the substrate 36 a is bonded and fixed to the vacuum heat insulating material 35, the cylindrical portion 36 b passes through the inner plate 32, contacts the end portion of the throat member 34, and the end portion of the throat member 34 is fixed by the screw 42. doing. When the fastener 36 and the throat member 34 are fixed , the inner plate 32 exists between the front end portion of the gasket fitting member 40 integrally formed with the throat member 34 and the vacuum heat insulating material 35 . A separation portion 44 having a separation distance larger than the plate thickness of the plate 32 is formed.

すなわち、スロート部材３４におけるファスナー３６と当接した部分からガスケット嵌合部材４０における正面側端部までの距離をａ、ファスナー３６の円筒部３６ｂの高さをｂ、内板３２の厚みをｃとした場合、ｂ−ｃ＞ａとなるようにそれぞれが形成されている。   That is, the distance from the portion of the throat member 34 in contact with the fastener 36 to the front end of the gasket fitting member 40 is a, the height of the cylindrical portion 36b of the fastener 36 is b, and the thickness of the inner plate 32 is c. In this case, each is formed so that bc> a.

また、スロート部材３４の内空側には、例えば発泡スチロール等の断熱材４３が予め充填されている。そして、スロート部材３４におけるこの断熱材４３の近傍に位置する１カ所あるいは複数カ所には、弾性部３４ｋが形成されている。この弾性部３４ｋは、図６（ａ）に示すように、円弧状に肉厚を薄く形成されてなる。このように弾性部３４ｋを設けることにより、真空断熱材３５の厚みが設計よりも厚かったり薄かったりしてファスナー３６の位置が若干前後し、その分スロート部材３４の端部（ファスナー固定部３４ｂ）もその固定位置が前後しても、弾性部３４ｋが変形することでファスナー３６の位置に応じてスロート部材３４の端部を変位させることができる。図６（ａ）〜（ｃ）の各図において、（イ）は肉厚が厚い場合の変形例、（ロ）は肉厚が薄い場合の変形例を示している。   In addition, the inner side of the throat member 34 is preliminarily filled with a heat insulating material 43 such as polystyrene foam. An elastic portion 34k is formed at one or a plurality of locations located in the vicinity of the heat insulating material 43 in the throat member 34. As shown in FIG. 6A, the elastic portion 34k is formed in a circular arc shape with a small thickness. By providing the elastic portion 34k in this way, the thickness of the vacuum heat insulating material 35 is thicker or thinner than the design, and the position of the fastener 36 is slightly moved back and forth, and the end portion of the throat member 34 (fastener fixing portion 34b). Even if the fixing position is changed back and forth, the end of the throat member 34 can be displaced according to the position of the fastener 36 by the deformation of the elastic portion 34k. 6A to 6C, (a) shows a modification when the thickness is thick, and (b) shows a modification when the thickness is thin.

すなわち、スロート部材３４の端部に生じる変形は弾性部３４ｋで吸収されてガスケット嵌合部材４０には伝わらないため、外板３２とガスケット嵌合部材４０との間の距離は一定に保つことができる。よって、本実施形態の第二冷凍室扉２６では、スロート部材３４の弾性部３４ｋで真空断熱材３５の厚みの個体差を吸収できるため、厚みに個体差が生じやすいＶＩＰを用いても厚みが一定の扉を製造できることとなる。   That is, since the deformation generated at the end of the throat member 34 is absorbed by the elastic portion 34k and is not transmitted to the gasket fitting member 40, the distance between the outer plate 32 and the gasket fitting member 40 can be kept constant. it can. Therefore, in the second freezer compartment door 26 of the present embodiment, the elastic portion 34k of the throat member 34 can absorb individual differences in the thickness of the vacuum heat insulating material 35. A certain door can be manufactured.

尚、図６（ｃ）に示すように、スロート部材３４における弾性部３４ｋは、薄肉の凹部としたり、その薄肉の凹部を複数設けたりして容易に変形可能にしたり、該当部分だけ容易に変形可能な材質にしたりして形成してもよい。   As shown in FIG. 6 (c), the elastic portion 34k of the throat member 34 can be easily deformed by forming a thin concave portion, or providing a plurality of thin concave portions, or only the corresponding portion can be easily deformed. It may be formed by using a possible material.

以下、さらに詳細に第二冷凍室扉２６の構造について述べる。図３乃至図５に示したように、外板３１は、方形状の平板であり、側枠３３に接着などによって固定されている。また、内板３２は、方形状の平板であり、ファスナー３６が貫通する複数の貫通孔３２ａを有する。   Hereinafter, the structure of the second freezer compartment door 26 will be described in more detail.

The throat member 34 has a rectangular frame shape, and is formed integrally with the gasket fitting member 40 by connecting the gasket fitting member 40 to the outer peripheral portion.

そして、スロート部材３４は、後方（断熱箱体３の内側）に突出する膨出部３４ａと、膨出部３４ａの枠内側に位置するファスナー固定部３４ｂとを備える。そして、膨出部３４ａの内側は中空に形成され、この空間に発泡スチロールなどの断熱材４３が充填されている。膨出部３４ａの後方端面（背面）の適所には上述した弾性部３４ｋが形成されている。ファスナー固定部３４ｂには、螺子４２が貫通する複数のねじ穴が形成されている。   And the throat member 34 is provided with the bulging part 34a which protrudes back (inner side of the heat insulation box 3), and the fastener fixing | fixed part 34b located inside the frame of the bulging part 34a. And the inside of the bulging part 34a is formed in hollow, and the heat insulating material 43, such as a polystyrene foam, is filled into this space. The elastic portion 34k described above is formed at an appropriate position on the rear end surface (back surface) of the bulging portion 34a. A plurality of screw holes through which the screw 42 passes are formed in the fastener fixing portion 34b.
