Description

本実施形態は、冷蔵庫に関する。   This embodiment relates to a refrigerator.

冷蔵庫では、冷蔵室や野菜室などのように内部温度が冷蔵温度に冷却される冷蔵貯蔵空間と、冷凍室や製氷室などのように内部温度が冷凍温度に冷却される冷凍貯蔵空間とが設けられ、冷凍貯蔵空間の内部には、上下に複数段の収納容器が配置されていることがある。   A refrigerator has a refrigerated storage space in which the internal temperature is cooled to the refrigeration temperature, such as a refrigerated room or a vegetable room, and a refrigerated storage space in which the internal temperature is cooled to the refrigeration temperature, such as a freezer room or an ice making room. In some cases, a plurality of storage containers are arranged in the upper and lower sides inside the frozen storage space.

このような冷蔵庫では、冷却器で冷却された空気が背面に設けられた吹出口から冷凍貯蔵空間へ吹き出して収納容器の内部や外部に導入される。収納容器の内部に導入された冷気は、収納容器内を流れて冷却した後、収納容器に設けられた通気口から収納容器の外部へ流出し、吹出口から収納容器の外部へ導入された冷気と合流し、収納容器と貯蔵空間の隙間を流れて貯蔵空間の背面に設けられた吸込口に吸い込まれて再び冷却器に戻り冷却される(例えば、下記特許文献1参照)。   In such a refrigerator, the air cooled by the cooler is blown out from the outlet provided on the back surface to the refrigerated storage space and introduced into the inside or outside of the storage container. The cool air introduced into the storage container flows through the storage container and cools, then flows out of the storage container from the vent provided in the storage container, and is introduced into the storage container from the outlet. , Flows through the gap between the storage container and the storage space, is sucked into a suction port provided on the back surface of the storage space, and returns to the cooler to be cooled again (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).

しかしながら、上記の冷蔵庫では、冷凍貯蔵空間へ吹き出した冷気が、収納容器内部に比べて庫外からの熱の影響を受けやすい収納容器と貯蔵空間の隙間を通ってから冷却器に戻るため、冷却効率が低下する問題がある。   However, in the refrigerator described above, the cold air blown into the frozen storage space returns to the cooler after passing through the gap between the storage container and the storage space, which is more susceptible to heat from outside the storage container than inside the storage container. There is a problem that efficiency decreases.

The inside of the storage container 54 is cooled. The air that has cooled the inside of the upper storage container 54 flows into the lower storage container 53 through a through hole 54 b provided in the lower front side of the upper storage container 54.

また、第2吹出ダクト75を通って吹出口79から冷凍室50へ吹き出した空気は、吹出口79が下側収納容器53の後方開口部53bに対向していることから、下側収納容器53の後方壁53aに当たることなく、スムーズに下側収納容器53内へ流れ込み、上側収納容器54に設けられた貫通孔54bから下側収納容器53に流れ込んだ空気とともに下側収納容器53内部を流れながら冷却する。   Further, the air blown out from the blowout outlet 79 to the freezer compartment 50 through the second blowout duct 75 is directed to the lower storage container 53 because the blowout opening 79 faces the rear opening 53 b of the lower storage container 53. The air smoothly flows into the lower storage container 53 without hitting the rear wall 53a, and flows through the lower storage container 53 together with the air flowing into the lower storage container 53 from the through hole 54b provided in the upper storage container 54. Cooling.

吹出口79は上側収納容器54の底面部よりも下方に位置していることから、上側収納容器54の後方壁に当たることなく、スムーズに下側収納容器53内へ流れ込む。さらに、吹出口79は上側収納容器54の底面高さに近い高さに設ける。これにより、下側収納容器53に貯蔵品を収納した場合であっても、貯蔵品が吹出口79の高さまで収納されない限り冷気を前方にスムーズに流すことができるため、貯蔵品を収納した場合であっても下側収納容器53内を適切に冷却することができる。   Since the air outlet 79 is located below the bottom surface of the upper storage container 54, it smoothly flows into the lower storage container 53 without hitting the rear wall of the upper storage container 54. Further, the air outlet 79 is provided at a height close to the bottom surface height of the upper storage container 54. Thereby, even when the stored item is stored in the lower storage container 53, the stored item is stored because the cool air can flow smoothly forward unless the stored item is stored up to the height of the outlet 79. Even so, the inside of the lower storage container 53 can be appropriately cooled.

そして、下側収納容器53内部を流れた空気は、下側収納容器53の後方開口部53bの後方に設けられた冷凍側吸込口80から吸込ダクト76を通って冷凍用冷却室71に戻る。   The air flowing through the lower storage container 53 returns to the freezing cooling chamber 71 through the suction duct 76 from the freezing side suction port 80 provided at the rear of the rear opening 53 b of the lower storage container 53.

以上のような本実施形態の冷蔵庫10では、冷凍貯蔵空間40に設けられた冷凍側吸込口80が、冷凍貯蔵空間40に上下に複数段配置された収納容器のうち、最下段に配置された下側収納容器53の後方壁53aに設けられた後方開口部53bの後方に配置されている。これにより、吹出口72、73、77、79から冷凍貯蔵室40内に吹き出した空気は、冷凍貯蔵室40内を冷却しながら循環した後、最下段に位置する下側収納容器53で合流し、後方開口部53bから冷凍側吸込口80及び吸込ダクト76を通って冷凍用冷却室71に戻る。そのため、冷凍貯蔵空間40へ吹き出した冷気が、庫外から熱の影響を受けやすい下側収納容器53と冷凍室50の隙間を実質的に流れることがなく、冷凍貯蔵空間40内を効率に冷却することができるとともに、下側収納容器53と冷凍室50との間に空間を設ける必要がなくなり、収納容積を拡大することができる。   In the refrigerator 10 of the present embodiment as described above, the refrigeration side suction port 80 provided in the refrigerated storage space 40 is arranged at the lowest stage among the storage containers arranged in a plurality of stages in the refrigerated storage space 40. It is arranged behind the rear opening 53 b provided in the rear wall 53 a of the lower storage container 53. As a result, the air blown into the refrigerated storage chamber 40 from the outlets 72, 73, 77, and 79 circulates while cooling the inside of the refrigerated storage chamber 40, and then joins in the lower storage container 53 located at the lowest stage. From the rear opening 53 b, the refrigerant returns to the freezing cooling chamber 71 through the freezing side suction port 80 and the suction duct 76. Therefore, the cold air blown into the frozen storage space 40 does not substantially flow through the gap between the lower storage container 53 and the freezer compartment 50 that are easily affected by heat from outside the refrigerator, and the inside of the frozen storage space 40 is efficiently cooled. In addition, it is not necessary to provide a space between the lower storage container 53 and the freezer compartment 50, and the storage volume can be increased.

本実施形態の冷蔵庫10では、冷凍側吸込口80が、冷凍貯蔵空間40に設けられた全ての吹出口72、73、77、79より下方に配置されているため、吹出口72、73、77、79から吹き出した空気が冷凍貯蔵空間40内を冷却することなく冷凍側吸込口80へ吸い込まれるショートサーキットが発生しにくい。   In the refrigerator 10 of this embodiment, since the freezing side suction port 80 is arrange | positioned below all the blower outlets 72, 73, 77, 79 provided in the frozen storage space 40, the blower outlets 72, 73, 77. , 79 is unlikely to generate a short circuit in which the air blown out from 79 is sucked into the freezing side suction port 80 without cooling the inside of the frozen storage space 40.

本実施形態の冷蔵庫10では、最下段の下側収納容器53より上方に配置された収納容器44、48、54の前側下部に貫通孔44a、48a、54bが設けられており、吹出口72、73、77から冷凍貯蔵空間40内を前方へ流れた空気が、貫通孔44a、48a、54bを通って下側収納容器53の前側に流れ込み、下側収納容器53内を後方へ流れて後方開口部53bから冷凍用冷却室71に戻る。そのため、吹出口72、73、77、79から吹き出した空気は、冷凍貯蔵空間40に設けられた複数の収納容器44、48、53、54に内部を淀みなく満遍なく冷却することができ、冷却効率を向上させることができる。   In the refrigerator 10 of the present embodiment, through holes 44 a, 48 a, 54 b are provided in front lower portions of the storage containers 44, 48, 54 arranged above the lowermost lower storage container 53, and the outlet 72, The air that has flowed forward in the frozen storage space 40 from 73 and 77 flows into the front side of the lower storage container 53 through the through holes 44a, 48a, and 54b, flows backward in the lower storage container 53, and opens rearward It returns to the freezing cooling chamber 71 from the part 53b. Therefore, the air blown out from the outlets 72, 73, 77, 79 can be uniformly cooled inside the plurality of storage containers 44, 48, 53, 54 provided in the frozen storage space 40 without any stagnation. Can be improved.

また、本実施形態の冷蔵庫10では、冷凍側吸込口80が、下側収納容器53に設けられた後方開口部53bの後方で下方に向かって開口しており、下側収納容器53内部の後方開口部53bより下方に滞留する空気を吸い上げるため、吹出口72、73、77、79から吹き出した空気が冷凍貯蔵空間40内を冷却することなく冷凍側吸込口80へ吸い込まれるショートサーキットが発生しにくい。   Further, in the refrigerator 10 of the present embodiment, the freezing side suction port 80 opens downward behind the rear opening 53 b provided in the lower storage container 53, and the rear inside the lower storage container 53. In order to suck up the air staying below the opening 53b, a short circuit is generated in which the air blown from the outlets 72, 73, 77, 79 is sucked into the refrigeration side suction port 80 without cooling the inside of the refrigeration storage space 40. Hateful.

更に、本実施形態の冷蔵庫10では、下側収納容器53に設けられた後方開口部53bの後方に配置された吹出口79が前方に向かって開口しており、吹出口79から下側収納容器53内に吹き出した空気が前方へ勢いよく吹き出すため、下側収納容器53内で空気のショートサーキットが発生しにくい。   Furthermore, in the refrigerator 10 of this embodiment, the blower outlet 79 arrange | positioned in the back of the back opening part 53b provided in the lower storage container 53 is opened toward the front, and a lower storage container is passed from the blower outlet 79 to it. Since the air blown into 53 is blown out vigorously forward, a short circuit of air hardly occurs in the lower storage container 53.

冷気が下側収納容器53内を循環するため、冷凍貯蔵空間40内に比べて高温となる機械室19と冷凍貯蔵空間40内を循環する冷気との間に下側収納容器53が介在することとなる。これにより、機械室19から冷凍貯蔵空間40内に流入する熱による影響を受けにくくなり、冷却性能を向上させることができる。   Since cold air circulates in the lower storage container 53, the lower storage container 53 is interposed between the machine room 19 that is hotter than the refrigerated storage space 40 and the cold air circulated in the refrigerated storage space 40. It becomes. Thereby, it becomes difficult to receive the influence by the heat | fever which flows in into the frozen storage space 40 from the machine room 19, and can improve cooling performance.
