Description

本発明は冷蔵庫に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator.

一般に家庭用冷蔵庫は、冷蔵庫本体内に複数の貯蔵室、例えば、冷蔵室、野菜室、冷凍室等を備え、前記冷凍室に製氷装置を配置するとともに冷蔵室には給水タンクを設けて、当該給水タンクから給水パイプを介して前記製氷装置に給水し、氷を作り貯氷するようになっている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Generally, a household refrigerator includes a plurality of storage rooms, for example, a refrigerator room, a vegetable room, a freezer room, etc. in the refrigerator body, an ice making device is disposed in the freezer room, and a water supply tank is provided in the refrigerator room. Water is supplied from the water supply tank to the ice making device through a water supply pipe, and ice is made and stored (for example, see Patent Document 1).

図14は特許文献1記載の冷蔵庫を示し、101は冷蔵室、102は野菜室、103は冷凍室を示し、冷蔵室101と野菜室102との間を仕切る仕切板104に給水タンク105が設けてあって、この給水タンク105から延びる給水パイプ106が野菜室102の内壁面に沿って冷凍室103まで引き出され、その先端が冷凍室103の上部に配置されている製氷装置の製氷皿107に臨んで開口させてある。なお、上記給水パイプ106はカバー108によって覆ってある。   FIG. 14 shows a refrigerator described in Patent Document 1, 101 is a refrigerator compartment, 102 is a vegetable compartment, 103 is a freezer compartment, and a water supply tank 105 is provided on a partition plate 104 that partitions the refrigerator compartment 101 and the vegetable compartment 102. Therefore, a water supply pipe 106 extending from the water supply tank 105 is drawn out to the freezing room 103 along the inner wall surface of the vegetable room 102, and the tip thereof is placed on the ice making tray 107 of the ice making device disposed above the freezing room 103. It faces and opens. The water supply pipe 106 is covered with a cover 108.

これにより、給水タンク105内の水が給水パイプ106を介して冷却室103内の製氷皿107に供給され、冷凍室103の冷凍低温によって凍結し氷が作られることになる。   As a result, the water in the water supply tank 105 is supplied to the ice tray 107 in the cooling chamber 103 via the water supply pipe 106 and is frozen by the freezing low temperature of the freezing chamber 103 to produce ice.

特開2008−151389号公報JP 2008-151389 A

しかしながら、上記従来の構成では給水パイプ106の先端部分が冷凍室103内の冷凍冷気によって冷却され、内部の水が凍結してパイプ詰まりを起こすことがある。そこで、従来は、上記特許文献1にも記載されているように、給水パイプ106にはその先端部分に凍結防止用ヒータ109が設けてあり、給水パイプ106の温度が所定温度以下になると凍結防止用ヒータ109に通電するようになっている。   However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the tip end portion of the water supply pipe 106 is cooled by the freezing cold air in the freezing chamber 103, and the internal water may freeze and cause clogging of the pipe. Therefore, conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, the water supply pipe 106 is provided with a freezing prevention heater 109 at the tip thereof, and when the temperature of the water supply pipe 106 falls below a predetermined temperature, the freezing prevention is performed. The heater 109 is energized.

そのため、この種の製氷装置を有する冷蔵庫は、前記給水パイプ106の近傍において冷蔵庫本体から引き出した本体リード線と前記凍結防止用ヒータ109のリード線とを接続して給電するようになっている。そして、上記リード線や接続部は多くの場合、野菜室102と冷凍室103との間の仕切板104或いは冷蔵庫本体の側壁内面等に前記本体リード線やその接続コネクタを収納する凹部を設け、この凹部内に凍結防止用ヒータ109側のリード線や冷蔵庫本体側の本体リード線及びそれら両リード線の接続用のコネクタを収納する構成となっている。   Therefore, the refrigerator having this type of ice making device is configured to supply power by connecting the main body lead wire drawn from the main body of the refrigerator and the lead wire of the antifreezing heater 109 in the vicinity of the water supply pipe 106. And, in many cases, the lead wire and the connecting portion are provided with a recess for housing the main body lead wire and its connecting connector on the partition plate 104 between the vegetable compartment 102 and the freezing compartment 103 or the inner wall of the refrigerator main body, etc. In this recess, the lead wire on the freeze prevention heater 109 side, the main body lead wire on the refrigerator main body side, and a connector for connecting these two lead wires are housed.

その結果、従来の冷蔵庫は、野菜室102と冷凍室103との間の仕切板104或いは冷蔵庫本体の側壁にリード線等収納用の凹部が必要となって冷蔵庫本体の内箱形状が複雑化する。また、冷蔵庫本体は上記凹部のところで壁厚が薄くなって断熱性が低下する、もしくはこの凹部により壁厚が薄くなる分を見越して壁全体を厚め設計するためその分野菜室102或いは冷凍室103の内容積が減少する、という課題を持っていた。   As a result, in the conventional refrigerator, the partition plate 104 between the vegetable compartment 102 and the freezing compartment 103 or a recess for storing lead wires or the like is required on the side wall of the refrigerator body, and the shape of the inner box of the refrigerator body is complicated. . In addition, the refrigerator main body is designed to be thicker in anticipation of the wall thickness being reduced due to the thin wall thickness at the concave portion, or the wall thickness being reduced by the concave portion. The problem was that the internal volume of the machine would decrease.

そして、上記課題のうち、断熱性の低下もしくは内容積の減少は微々たるものでこれま
では見過ごされてきたが、省エネ性向上もしくは冷蔵庫本体容積向上の要望が厳しさを増してきている今日にあっては、仕切板もしくは本体側壁の厚さに影響を与えない、すなわち冷蔵庫本体側に影響を与えないリード線及びその接続部の新たな収納処理構成の提供が必要となってきている。
And among the above issues, the decrease in heat insulation or the decrease in internal volume has been negligible and has been overlooked so far, but today the demand for energy saving improvement or refrigerator body volume increase is becoming more severe In this case, it is necessary to provide a new storage processing configuration for the lead wire and its connecting portion that does not affect the thickness of the partition plate or the side wall of the main body, that is, does not affect the refrigerator main body side.

本発明はこのような点に鑑みてなしたもので、冷蔵庫本体側にリード線等収納部を設けるなどの影響を与えることなくリード線等の収納処理が可能でメンテナンス作業も容易に行える冷蔵庫の提供を目的としたものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is a refrigerator that can store lead wires and the like and can easily perform maintenance work without the influence of providing a storage portion such as a lead wire on the refrigerator body side. It is for the purpose of provision.

Thus, when the refrigerator main body 1 is foam-molded, when the partition plates 5 and 6 are pressed against and fixed to the inner surface of the inner box 3 with a jig (not shown), the wall body and cover main body lead wires 27 are formed. ,
There is no need to separately prepare a holding member for holding 39 so that 39 is not sandwiched between the jig and the inner box 3 of the refrigerator main body. Alternatively, it is possible to hold the wall body and cover main body lead wires 27 and 39 by manual work or the like and insert a jig while preventing the wall body and cover main body lead wires 27 and 39 from being pinched. It will not be necessary to multiply. Accordingly, the number of parts can be reduced by the amount that does not require a separate holding member, and at the same time, there is no need to manually hold the main body lead wires 27 and 39 for the wall and cover, and the workability is improved accordingly. And can be provided at low cost. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the body lead wires 27 and 39 for the wall body and the cover from being sandwiched between the inner box 3 by a jig and to damage or cut them, thereby improving the yield and quality. .

上記のようにして冷蔵庫本体1の組立てを終えると、次に背面壁体18や給水パイプ33のリード線の接続処理を行う。   When the assembling of the refrigerator main body 1 is completed as described above, the connection processing of the lead wires of the back wall 18 and the water supply pipe 33 is performed next.

まず、給水パイプ33のリード線処理を給水タンク32のセットから順に説明する。   First, the lead wire processing of the water supply pipe 33 will be described in order from the set of the water supply tank 32.

製氷装置はまず給水タンク32を冷蔵室7の底面となる仕切板5の一側上部のタンク受け部(図示せず)に載置し、その給水パイプ33を野菜室8内に垂設する。野菜室8内に垂設した給水パイプ33の先端部分は図13の(a)に示すように野菜室8の底面となる仕切板6の一側上部に設けたパイプ装着部43に装着し、その先端開口を冷凍室9上部に配置した製氷皿44に臨ませる。   The ice making device first places the water supply tank 32 on a tank receiving portion (not shown) on one side upper part of the partition plate 5 which is the bottom surface of the refrigerator compartment 7, and suspends the water supply pipe 33 in the vegetable compartment 8. The tip portion of the water supply pipe 33 suspended in the vegetable compartment 8 is attached to a pipe attachment portion 43 provided on one side upper part of the partition plate 6 serving as the bottom of the vegetable compartment 8 as shown in FIG. The tip opening is made to face an ice tray 44 arranged in the upper part of the freezer compartment 9.

次に、上記野菜室底面となる仕切板6の仮収納部41に仮収納していたカバー用本体リード線を同図(b)に示すように仮収納部41から引き出す。そして、同図(c)に示すように前記給水パイプ33の凍結防止用ヒータ35およびその凍結防止ヒータ用リード線36の引出部分を覆うようにカバー37を配置して仕切板6にビスにて装着する。これによって上記カバー37に設けた収納部38が給水パイプ33の立ち上り部分に沿ってこれを覆うような形で位置する。   Next, the cover main body lead wire temporarily stored in the temporary storage portion 41 of the partition plate 6 serving as the bottom of the vegetable compartment is pulled out from the temporary storage portion 41 as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 3C, a cover 37 is disposed so as to cover the drawing portion of the freeze prevention heater 35 of the water supply pipe 33 and the lead wire 36 for the freeze prevention heater, and the partition plate 6 is screwed. Installing. Thus, the storage portion 38 provided in the cover 37 is positioned so as to cover the rising portion of the water supply pipe 33.

この状態で前記給水パイプ33の凍結防止用ヒータ35からの凍結防止ヒータ用リード線36と仮収納部41から引き出したカバー用本体リード線39とを接続する。そして、前記接続したカバー用本体リード線39と凍結防止ヒータ用リード線36およびその接続部となるカバー用コネクタ40を図13の(d)に示すように前記収納部38に押し込み、収納する。   In this state, the anti-freezing heater lead wire 36 from the anti-freezing heater 35 of the water supply pipe 33 and the cover main body lead wire 39 pulled out from the temporary storage portion 41 are connected. Then, the connected cover main body lead wire 39, the antifreezing heater lead wire 36, and the cover connector 40 serving as a connecting portion thereof are pushed into the storage portion 38 and stored as shown in FIG.

これにより、製氷装置のセットとそのリード線処理を終えることになる。   This completes the setting of the ice making device and its lead wire processing.

次に、背面壁体18のセットとそのリード線処理を説明する。   Next, the setting of the back wall body 18 and its lead wire processing will be described.

背面壁体18は図10、図11の(a)に示すような状態、すなわち結露防止用ヒータ23の結露防止ヒータ用リード線26を一側端片部24の壁体収納部25に丸め込んで収納した状態で冷蔵庫本体内箱3の内面にビスにて装着する。次に同図11(b)に示すように上記壁体収納部25上方に位置する仕切板5下面の壁体仮収納部29に仮収納されている壁体用本体リード線27を壁体仮収納部29から引き出し、前記結露防止用ヒータ23の結露防止ヒータ用リード線26と接続してその壁体用コネクタ28とともに前記両リード線26,27を背面壁体18の壁体収納部25に収納保持させる。   The back wall 18 is in the state shown in FIGS. 10 and 11A, that is, the dew condensation prevention heater lead wire 26 of the dew condensation prevention heater 23 is rolled into the wall body housing 25 of the one end piece 24. In the housed state, it is attached to the inner surface of the refrigerator body inner box 3 with screws. Next, as shown in FIG. 11B, the wall body main body lead wire 27 temporarily stored in the wall body temporary storage part 29 on the lower surface of the partition plate 5 located above the wall body storage part 25 is temporarily attached to the wall body. The lead wire 26 is pulled out from the storage portion 29 and connected to the dew condensation prevention heater lead wire 26 of the dew condensation prevention heater 23, and the lead wires 26 and 27 together with the wall body connector 28 are connected to the wall body storage portion 25 of the rear wall body 18. Store and hold.

これにより、背面壁体18のセットとそのリード線処理を終えることになる。   As a result, the setting of the rear wall 18 and the lead wire processing are completed.

そして、この状態でさらに同図(c)に示すように、前記給水パイプ33のリード線接続処理部及び背面壁体のリード線処理部の前方を覆う如く化粧カバー42を背面壁体18
に装着して、一連の組立作業を終えることになる。
In this state, as further shown in FIG. 6C, the decorative cover 42 is placed on the back wall 18 so as to cover the front of the lead wire connection processing portion of the water supply pipe 33 and the lead wire processing portion of the back wall body.
A series of assembly work is completed.

以上のようにして構成されたこの冷蔵庫は、給水パイプ33のカバー37にリード線等を収納する収納部38を設けているので、このカバー37によって給水パイプ33及び凍結防止用ヒータ35の凍結防止ヒータ用リード線36やそのカバー用コネクタ40を合理的に収納処理することができる。したがって前記凍結防止用ヒータ35からの凍結防止ヒータ用リード線36や冷蔵庫本体側から引き出したカバー用本体リード線39及びこれらのリード線36,39を接続する接続部となるカバー用コネクタ40等の収納部を冷蔵庫本体1側に別途設ける必要がない。そして、上記カバー37を取り外してカバー37を手前側に取り出せば、凍結防止ヒータ用リード線36と冷蔵庫本体側のカバー用リード線39との接続等を手前側の比較的広い場所まで引き出して不自由なく行うことができ、結果的に給水パイプ33や凍結防止用ヒータ35のメンテナンスも容易に行えるようになる。   In the refrigerator configured as described above, the cover 37 of the water supply pipe 33 is provided with a storage portion 38 for storing lead wires and the like, so that the water supply pipe 33 and the antifreezing heater 35 are prevented from freezing by the cover 37. The heater lead wire 36 and its cover connector 40 can be rationally accommodated. Accordingly, the anti-freezing heater lead wire 36 from the anti-freezing heater 35, the cover main body lead wire 39 pulled out from the refrigerator main body side, the cover connector 40 serving as a connecting portion for connecting these lead wires 36, 39, etc. There is no need to separately provide a storage unit on the refrigerator body 1 side. Then, if the cover 37 is removed and the cover 37 is taken out to the front side, the connection between the lead wire 36 for the anti-freezing heater and the cover lead wire 39 on the refrigerator main body side is pulled out to a relatively wide place on the front side. As a result, maintenance of the water supply pipe 33 and the freeze prevention heater 35 can be easily performed.

また、前記給水パイプ用リード線等の収納部38はカバー37に一体形成した構成としてあるから、収納部38とカバー37とを別部品で構成するような場合に比べ部品点数や組み立て工数を削減でき、安価に提供できる。しかも上記カバー37を外すことによって前記した如く凍結防止用ヒータ35の凍結防止ヒータ用リード線36と冷蔵庫本体側のカバー用本体リード線39との接続等を容易に行えるようになり、メンテナンス性が向上する。   Further, since the storage portion 38 such as the lead pipe for the water supply pipe is formed integrally with the cover 37, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps are reduced as compared with the case where the storage portion 38 and the cover 37 are configured as separate parts. Can be provided at low cost. In addition, by removing the cover 37, it becomes possible to easily connect the freeze prevention heater lead wire 36 of the freeze prevention heater 35 and the cover main body lead wire 39 of the refrigerator main body as described above, and maintainability is improved. improves.

また、前記給水パイプ33は背面壁体18の側方に設けた壁体収納部25側に配置しているから、野菜室8の背面壁体18に設けた奥まった位置の壁体収納部25の空間を利用して給水パイプ33を設けることができ、給水パイプ33が背面壁体18より前方に位置して野菜室内容積を狭めるのを防止できる。   Further, since the water supply pipe 33 is disposed on the side of the wall body storage section 25 provided on the side of the back wall body 18, the wall body storage section 25 at the back position provided on the back wall body 18 of the vegetable room 8. It is possible to provide the water supply pipe 33 by using the space, and it is possible to prevent the water supply pipe 33 from being positioned in front of the back wall 18 and reducing the vegetable compartment volume.

しかも、前記背面壁体18は冷蔵庫本体内箱3に、カバー37は仕切板6に、と、それぞれ別々に装着してあるから、カバー37及び背面壁体18の着脱が容易となり、メンテナンス性をより向上させることができる。すなわち、野菜室内に設けた給水パイプ33のカバー37及び野菜室8の背面壁体18は冷蔵庫本体1に対し別々に着脱することができるから、例えば背面壁体18を外さないとカバー37を外せない、あるいは逆にカバー37を外さないと背面壁体18が外せない、等の制約を受けることがなくなってカバー37及び背面壁体18の着脱が容易となり、メンテナンス性が向上するのである。   In addition, since the back wall 18 is separately attached to the refrigerator body inner box 3 and the cover 37 is separately attached to the partition plate 6, the cover 37 and the back wall 18 can be easily attached and detached, and maintenance is facilitated. It can be improved further. That is, since the cover 37 of the water supply pipe 33 provided in the vegetable compartment and the back wall 18 of the vegetable compartment 8 can be separately attached to and detached from the refrigerator body 1, for example, the cover 37 can be removed without removing the back wall 18. If the cover 37 is not removed or the cover 37 is not removed, the back wall 18 cannot be removed, and the cover 37 and the back wall 18 can be easily attached and detached, and the maintainability is improved.

また、前記給水パイプ33及びそのカバー37とそれに設けた収納部38のリード線収納部分と、前記背面壁体18に設けた壁体収納部25のリード線収納部分と、は、化粧カバー42で一体に覆っているので、背面壁体18側の壁体収納25が前方に面して露出していてもこれを覆うカバーを別途必要とせず、構成の合理化による更なるコストダウンが達成できる。また、これと同時に、給水パイプ33及びそのカバー37自体もその全体を覆って人目につかないようにすることができ、品位を向上させることができる。しかも、壁体収納部25を覆う化粧カバー42を外すことによって背面壁体側の結露防止ヒータ用リード線26を冷蔵庫本体側の壁体用本体リード線27に対し直に着脱でき、その結果背面壁体18の結露防止用ヒータ23の交換等のメンテナンスも容易に行えるようになる。   The water supply pipe 33 and its cover 37 and the lead wire storage portion of the storage portion 38 provided on the water supply pipe 33 and the lead wire storage portion of the wall body storage portion 25 provided on the back wall 18 are a decorative cover 42. Since they are integrally covered, even if the wall body housing 25 on the back wall body 18 side is exposed facing forward, a cover for covering it is not required, and further cost reduction can be achieved by rationalizing the configuration. At the same time, the water supply pipe 33 and its cover 37 itself can be covered so as to be invisible, and the quality can be improved. In addition, by removing the decorative cover 42 covering the wall housing portion 25, the dew condensation prevention heater lead wire 26 on the back wall body side can be directly attached to and detached from the wall body lead wire 27 on the refrigerator body side, and as a result, the back wall Maintenance such as replacement of the dew condensation prevention heater 23 of the body 18 can be easily performed.

加えて、前記野菜室8と冷凍室9との間を仕切る仕切板6には仮収納部41を設けて、冷蔵庫本体側から引き出した給水パイプ33用のカバー用本体リード線39及びそのカバー用コネクタ40を仮収納する構成としているから、既述したように、冷蔵庫本体内箱3に仕切板6をセットし治具で冷蔵庫本体内箱側に押しつけて発泡断熱材4を充填発泡させる際、前記カバー用本体リード線39を仕切板6の仮収納部41内に収納しておくことができる。したがって、治具セット時にカバー用本体リード線39を仮保持する仮保持部材を別途準備する必要がなくなって作業性が向上するとともに、部品削減によるコストダウ
ンも可能となり、しかも、治具セット時に当該治具に圧接されて本体リード線39が傷ついたり切断したりするのを防止でき、品質を安定させることもできる。
In addition, the partition plate 6 that divides the vegetable compartment 8 and the freezer compartment 9 is provided with a temporary storage portion 41, and a cover main body lead wire 39 for the water supply pipe 33 drawn from the refrigerator main body side and its cover Since the connector 40 is temporarily stored, as described above, when the partition plate 6 is set in the refrigerator body inner box 3 and pressed against the refrigerator body inner box side with a jig to fill and foam the foam insulation 4, The cover main body lead wire 39 can be stored in the temporary storage portion 41 of the partition plate 6. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately prepare a temporary holding member for temporarily holding the cover main body lead wire 39 at the time of jig setting, so that workability is improved and the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts. It is possible to prevent the main body lead wire 39 from being damaged or cut by being pressed against the jig, and the quality can be stabilized.

更に、この実施の形態では、前記背面壁体18にもリード線等を収納する壁体収納部25を設けているので、背面壁体18組み込んである結露防止用ヒータ23からの結露防止ヒータ用リード線26と冷蔵庫本体1からの壁体用本体リード線27及びこれらの接続部となる壁体用コネクタ28等の収納部も前記給水パイプ33の場合と同様冷蔵庫本体内箱3の内面壁等に設ける必要がなく、背面壁体18に設けた壁体収納部25を利用して合理的に収納処理することができる。   Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the rear wall body 18 is also provided with a wall body housing portion 25 for housing lead wires and the like, the dew condensation prevention heater for the dew condensation prevention heater 23 incorporated in the rear wall body 18 is used. The storage part such as the lead body 26 and the wall body lead wire 27 from the refrigerator body 1 and the wall body connector 28 to be connected to these is also the inner wall of the inner box 3 of the refrigerator body as in the case of the water supply pipe 33. Therefore, it is possible to perform rational storage processing using the wall body storage portion 25 provided on the back wall body 18.

しかも、前記壁体収納部25は背面壁体18の背面に位置する冷気通路17の側方に位置する如く設けてあるから、壁体収納部25を設けて当該部分の壁厚が薄くなってもその背面には冷気通路17が存在しないので冷輻射問題が生じることもなく、しかも壁体収納部25を設けて壁厚が薄くなるのは背面壁体18だけであって冷蔵庫本体1の壁厚は何ら関係ないのでその断熱性及び内容積に悪影響を与えることもない。   In addition, since the wall body storage portion 25 is provided so as to be located on the side of the cool air passage 17 located on the back surface of the back wall body 18, the wall thickness of the portion is reduced by providing the wall body storage portion 25. However, since the cold air passage 17 does not exist on the rear surface, there is no problem of cold radiation, and the wall body storage portion 25 is provided to reduce the wall thickness only in the rear wall body 18 and the wall of the refrigerator main body 1. Since the thickness is not related at all, it does not adversely affect the thermal insulation and internal volume.

また、上記背面壁体18の壁体収納部25上方に位置する仕切板6にも壁体仮収納部29を設けて、冷蔵庫本体側から引き出した結露防止用ヒータ23用の壁体用本体リード線27及びその壁体用コネクタ28を仮収納可能な構成としているから、給水パイプ33側の場合と同様、冷蔵庫本体内箱3に仕切板5をセットし治具で冷蔵庫本体内箱側に押しつけて発泡断熱材4を充填発泡させる際、前記壁体用本体リード線27を仕切板5の壁体仮収納部29内に収納しておくことができる。したがって、治具セット時に壁体用本体リード線27を仮保持する仮保持部材を別途準備する必要がなくなって作業性が向上するとともに、部品削減によるコストダウンも可能となり、しかも、治具セット時に当該治具に圧接されて壁体用本体リード線27が傷ついたり切断したりするのを防止でき、品質を安定させることもできる。   Also, a wall body temporary storage portion 29 is provided in the partition plate 6 located above the wall body storage portion 25 of the back wall body 18 so that the wall body main body lead for the dew condensation prevention heater 23 pulled out from the refrigerator main body side is provided. Since the wire 27 and the wall connector 28 can be temporarily stored, as in the case of the water supply pipe 33 side, the partition plate 5 is set in the refrigerator body inner box 3 and pressed against the refrigerator body inner box side with a jig. When the foam heat insulating material 4 is filled and foamed, the wall main body lead wire 27 can be stored in the wall temporary storage portion 29 of the partition plate 5. Accordingly, it is not necessary to separately prepare a temporary holding member for temporarily holding the wall main body lead wire 27 when the jig is set, so that the workability is improved and the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts. It is possible to prevent the wall main body lead wire 27 from being damaged or cut by being pressed against the jig, and the quality can be stabilized.

以上、本発明の実施の形態を説明してきたが、上記実施の形態で説明した構成は本発明を実施する一例として示したものであり、本発明の目的を達成する範囲で種々変更可能なことは言うまでもない。   Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the configuration described in the above embodiment is shown as an example for carrying out the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention. Needless to say.

本発明は、冷蔵庫本体側にリード線等収納部を設けることなくリード線等の収納処理が可能でメンテナンス作業も容易に行える冷蔵庫を提供することができる。よって、家庭用はもちろん業務用冷蔵庫やショーケース等多くの用途に幅広く適用することができる。   The present invention can provide a refrigerator that can store lead wires and the like and can easily perform maintenance work without providing a storage portion such as lead wires on the refrigerator main body side. Therefore, it can be widely applied to many uses such as commercial refrigerators and showcases as well as home use.
