The refrigerating chamber 7 is arranged at the uppermost stage of the heat insulating box body 50. A rotary refrigerating room door 51 for opening and closing the opening is provided in the opening formed on the front surface of the refrigerating room 7. The refrigerating chamber 7 in the first embodiment is an example of a storage chamber whose front side can be opened. The refrigerating room door 51 is, for example, a double door type (double door type), and is composed of a right door and a left door. An operation panel 5 is provided on the outer surface of the refrigerator compartment door 51 (for example, the left door) on the front surface of the refrigerator 1.

A plurality of refrigerating room shelf boards 30 are provided inside the refrigerating room 7. The inside of the refrigerating room 7 is divided into a plurality of spaces (shelves) in the vertical direction by these refrigerating room shelf boards 30. The refrigerating room shelf board 30 in the first embodiment is an example of a shelf board that divides the inside of the storage room into upper and lower parts. The space below the refrigerating room shelf board 30 at the bottom is a chilled room 8.

The switching chamber 9 is arranged on one side below the refrigerating chamber 7 on the left and right sides. The cold insulation temperature zone of the switching chamber 9 can be switched by selecting any one of a plurality of temperature zones. The plurality of temperature zones that can be selected as the cold insulation temperature zone of the switching chamber 9 include, for example, a freezing temperature zone (for example, about -18 ° C.), a refrigerating temperature zone (for example, about 3 ° C.), a chilled temperature zone (for example, about 0 ° C.), and the like. It is in a soft refrigeration temperature range (for example, about -7 ° C). The ice making chamber 10 is arranged adjacent to the side of the switching chamber 9 in parallel with the switching chamber 9, that is, on the left and right other sides below the refrigerating chamber 7.

The freezing chamber 11 is arranged below the switching chamber 9 and the ice making chamber 10. The freezing chamber 11 is mainly for use when the storage target is stored frozen for a relatively long period of time. The vegetable compartment 12 is arranged at the lowermost stage below the freezing chamber 11. The vegetable compartment 12 is mainly for storing vegetables and large PET bottles having a large capacity (for example, 2 L or the like).

Each storage room (switching room 9, ice making room 10, freezing room 11 and vegetable room 12) other than the refrigerating room 7 is opened and closed by a drawer-type door. In these pull-out doors, the frame provided fixed to the door is slid with respect to the rails horizontally formed on the left and right inner wall surfaces of each storage room, so that the refrigerator 1 is in the depth direction (front-back direction). It can be opened and closed.

Further, in the inside of the switching chamber 9 and the inside of the freezing chamber 11, a switching chamber storage case and a freezing chamber storage case that can store food and the like are stored in a drawer-free manner. Similarly, in the vegetable compartment 12, a vegetable case that can store food and the like is retractably stored in the vegetable compartment 12.

The refrigerator 1 includes a refrigeration cycle circuit that cools the air supplied to each storage chamber. The refrigeration cycle circuit is composed of a compressor 2, a condenser (not shown), a throttle device (not shown), a cooler 3, and the like. The compressor 2 compresses and discharges the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle circuit. The condenser condenses the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2. The squeezing device expands the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser. The cooler 3 cools the air supplied to each storage chamber by the refrigerant expanded by the throttle device. The compressor 2 is arranged, for example, in the lower part on the back side of the refrigerator 1.

The refrigerator 1 is formed with an air passage 20 for supplying air cooled by the refrigeration cycle circuit to each storage chamber. The air passage 20 is mainly arranged on the back side in the refrigerator 1. The cooler 3 of the refrigeration cycle circuit is installed in the air passage 20. Further, in the air passage 20, a blower 4 for sending the air cooled by the cooler 3 to each storage chamber is also installed. When the blower 4 operates, the air (cold air) cooled by the cooler 3 is sent to the freezing chamber 11, the switching chamber 9, the ice making chamber 10, and the refrigerating chamber 7 through the air passage 20, and cools these storage chambers. do.

The air passage 20 leads to the air storage duct 21. The refrigerating room ventilation duct 21 is arranged so as to wrap around from the back side of the refrigerating room 7 to the upper side of the refrigerating room 7. The inside of the refrigerating room air duct 21 communicates with the inside of the refrigerating room 7 through the air outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerating room and the air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerating room. The air outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerating chamber is formed on the back surface of the refrigerating chamber 7. The air outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerating room is provided corresponding to each shelf partitioned by the refrigerating room shelf board 30. The air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerating room is formed on the front side of the front end of the refrigerating room shelf board 30 on the upper surface portion in the refrigerating room 7.

A refrigerating chamber suction port 24 is formed on the lower surface of the refrigerating chamber 7, here, particularly on the lower surface of the chilled chamber 8 in the refrigerating chamber 7. The inside of the refrigerating room 7 communicates with the inside of the vegetable room 12 through the refrigerating room suction port 24. The vegetable compartment 12 is cooled by sucking the cold air in the refrigerating chamber 7 through the refrigerating chamber suction port 24 and introducing it into the vegetable compartment 12. The cold air that has cooled the vegetable compartment 12 is returned to the air passage 20 where the cooler 3 is located through a return air passage for the vegetable chamber (not shown). Then, it is cooled again by the cooler 3, and cold air circulates in the refrigerator 1.

A damper (not shown) is provided in the middle of the passage from the air passage 20 provided with the cooler 3 and the blower 4 to the storage chambers of the freezing chamber 11, the switching chamber 9, the ice making chamber 10 and the refrigerating chamber 7. .. Each damper opens and closes a portion leading to each storage chamber of the air passage 20. By changing the open / closed state of the damper, the amount of cold air supplied to each storage chamber can be adjusted. Further, the temperature of the cold air can be adjusted by controlling the operation of the compressor 2.

The refrigerating cycle circuit including the compressor 2 and the cooler 3 provided as described above, the blower 4, the air passage 20, and the damper constitute a cooling means for cooling the inside of the storage chamber.

The control device 6 is provided with a control circuit and the like for performing various controls necessary for the operation of the refrigerator 1. Examples of the control circuit included in the control device 6 include a circuit for controlling the operation of the compressor 2 and the blower 4 and the opening degree of the damper based on the temperature in each storage chamber and the information input to the operation panel 5. Be done. That is, the control device 6 controls the cooling means and the like described above to control the operation of the refrigerator 1. The temperature in each storage chamber can be detected by a thermistor or the like installed in each storage chamber.

The control device 6 also controls communication between the refrigerator 1 and an external device. Specifically, the communication with an external device is, for example, receiving a set temperature change instruction from a smartphone, transmitting information on the internal state of the refrigerator to the smartphone, and the like.

Next, the configuration of the refrigerating room shelf board 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In addition, in FIGS. 2 and 3, for easy understanding, the refrigerating room shelf board 30 and the front side shelf support 34 and the back side shelf support 35, which will be described later, are shown separated from each other in the vertical direction. The refrigerating room shelf board 30 includes a front side shelf board 31, a back side shelf board 32, and a hinge portion 33. The front side shelf board 31 is the first part of the shelf board. The back shelf board 32 is a second part of the shelf board. Therefore, the refrigerating room shelf board 30 is divided into a first portion and a second portion. The front shelf plate 31, which is the first portion, has a flat plate shape. The back shelf plate 32, which is the second portion, is also flat.

The front side shelf board 31 is horizontally arranged on the front side of the back side shelf board 32. The back shelf board 32 may have at least two arrangement states, a first state and a second state. In the first state, the upper surface of the back side shelf board 32 is arranged flush with the upper surface of the front side shelf board 31. The second state is an arrangement state in which the angle formed by the upper surface of the back side shelf board 32 and the upper surface of the front side shelf board 31 is different from the above-mentioned first state. That is, in the second state, the upper surface of the back shelf plate 32 is not flush with the upper surface of the front shelf plate 31.

The hinge portion 33 is connected to the rear end portion of the front side shelf plate 31 and the front end portion of the back side shelf plate 32 by the hinge portion 33. The hinge portion 33 rotatably connects the front side shelf plate 31 and the back side shelf plate 32. The back side shelf board 32 can be rotated in both directions with respect to the front side shelf board 31 with the hinge portion 33 as an axis.

Each refrigerating room shelf board 30 is supported by a front side shelf support 34 and a back side shelf support 35 provided on the inner side wall of the refrigerating room 7. A pair of left and right shelf supports 34 are provided for each refrigerating room shelf board 30. A pair of left and right back shelf holders 35 are also provided for each refrigerating room shelf board 30. The front side shelf support 34 is a first support tool for supporting the front side shelf board 31. The back side shelf support 35 is a second support tool that supports the back side shelf board 32. In particular, the back shelf support 35, which is the second support, is configured to support at least the back shelf 32 in the first state described above.

The front side shelf support 34 exhibits a hollow prismatic shape. The back side shelf support 35 can be housed inside the hollow front side shelf support 34. The back side shelf support 35 can be slidably moved between the position housed inside the front side shelf support 34 and the position protruding toward the back side from the front side shelf support 34.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the back side shelf support 35 is in a position protruding from the front side shelf support 34 toward the back side. In the state shown in the figure, the back side shelf support 35 supports the back side shelf board 32 in the above-mentioned first state. In this state, the upper surface of the front side shelf board 31 and the upper surface of the back side shelf board 32 are flush with each other. Therefore, the stored items can be placed over the entire front side shelf board 31 and the back side shelf board 32.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the back side shelf support 35 is housed in the front side shelf support 34. In the state shown in the figure, the back side shelf support 35 does not support the back side shelf board 32. The back shelf holder 35, which has lost its support, is pulled down by gravity, and the refrigerating room shelf plate 30 bends around the hinge portion 33. In this state, the back side shelf board 32 is perpendicular to the lower side with respect to the front side shelf board 31 centering on the hinge portion 33. This state is the second state described above. That is, in the first embodiment, the above-mentioned second state is an arrangement state in which the back side shelf board 32 is perpendicular to the front side shelf board 31 with the hinge portion 33 at the center.

In this second state, the stored items can be placed only on the front side shelf board 31 of the refrigerating room shelf board 30, and the stored items cannot be placed on the back side shelf board 32. Therefore, the capacity in the refrigerator compartment 7 can be easily reduced. At this time, since the capacity can be changed by changing the arrangement state of the back side shelf board 32, it is easy to change the capacity even if there is a stored item particularly on the front side in the storage chamber.

Further, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-075167), if the capacity of the storage chamber is not changed, the unused balloon must be stored outside the refrigerator. On the other hand, according to the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment configured as described above, the change in the capacity in the refrigerating room 7 changes the arrangement state of the refrigerating room shelf board 30 originally in the refrigerating room 7. It is realized by doing. That is, the internal volume of the refrigerator can be changed without using an object other than the permanent refrigerator, and it is not necessary to store unused members outside the refrigerator when the capacity is not changed.

A slide knob 36 is provided on, for example, the lower surface of the back shelf support 35. The user can easily switch between the above-mentioned first state and the second state by moving the back side shelf support 35 with the slide knob 36.

As described above, the second state is an arrangement state in which the angle formed by the upper surface of the back side shelf board 32 and the upper surface of the front side shelf board 31 is different from the above-mentioned first state. Therefore, the second state is not limited to the arrangement state in which the back side shelf board 32 is perpendicular to the lower side with respect to the front side shelf board 31 centering on the hinge portion 33. For example, the back side shelf board 32 may be perpendicular to the upper side with respect to the front side shelf board 31. Further, the angle formed by the upper surface of the back side shelf board 32 and the upper surface of the front side shelf board 31 in the second state does not have to be 90 ° (vertical) as long as it is other than 180 ° (parallel). Even in such a case, since the upper surface of the back side shelf board 32 is not horizontal, the stored items can be placed only on the front side shelf board 31. Therefore, the capacity in the refrigerator compartment 7 can be easily reduced as described above.

Here, the dimension of the back side shelf board 32 in the depth direction is adjusted to the vertical distance between the refrigerating room shelf boards 30. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the space of the shelf below the back shelf plate 32 in the second state described above is partitioned back and forth. That is, the back side shelf board 32 in the second state described above can partition the inside of the refrigerating chamber 7 back and forth. As described above, the back side shelf board 32 and the front side shelf board 31 do not have to be vertical in the second state. For example, if the dimension in the depth direction of the back side shelf board 32 is equal to or more than the vertical distance between the refrigerating room shelf boards 30, even if the back side shelf board 32 and the front side shelf board 31 are not vertical, they are below the back side shelf board 32. It is possible to partition the shelf space back and forth.

Since the refrigerating room shelf board 30 does not exist above the uppermost shelf, the uppermost shelf cannot be partitioned back and forth by the back side shelf board 32 of the refrigerating room shelf board 30. Therefore, in the configuration example of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the uppermost shelf shielding plate 40 is provided at the uppermost part in the refrigerating chamber 7. The uppermost shelf shielding plate 40 is an uppermost shelf shielding means having the same structure as the refrigerating room shelf plate 30. The uppermost shelf shielding plate 40 is supported by, for example, a support tool having the same structure as the front side shelf support 34 and the back side shelf support 35. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, by vertically lowering the back shielding plate of the uppermost shelf shielding plate 40, the uppermost shelf can also be partitioned back and forth. By doing so, all the shelves in the refrigerating room 7 except the chilled room 8 can be partitioned back and forth.

As described above, the refrigerating chamber 7 is provided with two types of cold air outlets, a refrigerating chamber back side outlet 22 and a refrigerating chamber front side outlet 23. The outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerator compartment in this embodiment is an example of the first cold air outlet. The air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerator compartment in this embodiment is an example of the second cold air outlet.

The refrigerating room back side outlet 22, which is the first cold air outlet, is arranged on the back side of the back side shelf board 32 in the first state described above. Therefore, when each back side shelf plate 32 is in the above-mentioned first state, the cold air blown out from the refrigerating room back side outlet 22 is distributed to each shelf in the refrigerating room 7 as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when each back side shelf board 32 is in the above-mentioned second state and the inside of the refrigerating chamber 7 is partitioned back and forth, as shown in FIG. 4, the cold air from the refrigerating room back side outlet 22 is the back side shelf board 32. And it is shielded by the uppermost shelf shielding plate 40. As described above, the refrigerating room front side outlet 23, which is the second cold air outlet, is on the front side of the front end of the refrigerating room shelf board 30, that is, on the front side of the back side shelf board 32 in the second state described above. Is located in. Therefore, even in the situation as shown in FIG. 4, in which the inside of the refrigerating chamber 7 is partitioned back and forth by the back shelf plate 32 and the uppermost shelf shielding plate 40, the front side of each shelf from the back shelf plate 32. That is, cold air can be distributed to the stored items on the front shelf board 31.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a switching damper 25 is provided at a position in the refrigerating room air duct 21 between the refrigerating room back side air outlet 22 and the refrigerating room front side air outlet 23. There is. The switching damper 25 opens and closes a portion of the refrigerating room air duct 21 leading to the air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerating room.

When each back shelf plate 32 is in the above-mentioned first state, the switching damper 25 is closed as shown in FIG. Therefore, the cold air sent to the refrigerating room air duct 21 is blown out not from the air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerating room but from the air outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerating room. Therefore, cold air can be distributed from the outlet 22 on the back side of each refrigerating room to each shelf in the refrigerating room 7.

On the other hand, when each back side shelf plate 32 is in the above-mentioned second state and the inside of the refrigerating chamber 7 is partitioned back and forth, the switching damper 25 is opened as shown in FIG. In this state, the back side of the back shelf plate 32 and the uppermost shelf shielding plate 40 in the refrigerating chamber 7 is hermetically sealed. Therefore, the cold air sent to the refrigerating room air duct 21 is mainly blown out from the air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerating room. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently cool only the front side with the stored items without unnecessarily cooling the back side without the stored items. Then, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption.

The switching of the switching damper 25 may be performed by the user on the operation panel 5, or may be performed automatically. In the case of automatic operation, for example, it is conceivable to provide a light receiving sensor on the back side in the refrigerating chamber 7 to detect whether or not each back side shelf board 32 is in the above-mentioned second state. For example, a position in which the light receiving state from an internal light (not shown) in the refrigerating chamber 7 differs depending on whether the back shelf holder 35 protrudes from the front shelf holder 34 or is inside the front shelf holder 34. Install a light receiving sensor in. Then, depending on the detection result of the light receiving sensor when the door open / close detection sensor 13 detects that the refrigerating room door 51 is open, whether or not each back side shelf board 32 is in the above-mentioned second state. Is detected.

In the configuration example described above, both the air outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerating room and the air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerating room are provided in the same refrigerating room air duct 21. Regarding this configuration, for example, a duct leading from the air passage 20 to the air outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerating room and a duct leading to the air outlet 23 on the front side of the refrigerating room may be branched. Then, the switching damper 25 may be provided at the branch portion of these ducts. By doing so, when the inside of the refrigerating chamber 7 is partitioned back and forth with each back side shelf board 32 in the above-mentioned second state, the cold air blow to the back side of the refrigerating chamber 7 can be more reliably blocked. .. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably reduce the energy consumption.

Further, in the configuration example described above, only the back side shelf board 32 of some of the refrigerating room shelf boards 30 is in the above-mentioned second state, and the back side shelf board 32 of the other refrigerating room shelf board 30 is described above. It is also conceivable to use it in the first state. In this case, it is preferable to set the second state in order from the back side shelf board 32 of the refrigerating room shelf board 30 in the upper stage toward the lower stage. For example, when the back side shelf board 32 of the step is in the above-mentioned second state while the back side shelf board 32 of the one upper step is in the above-mentioned first state, the front side shelf board of the step is changed. While it is not possible to place the stored items that are limited to 31, the space behind the stage is open. For this reason, cold air is supplied from the air outlet 22 on the back side of the refrigerator compartment to the space on the back side of the stage where there is no stored item, resulting in a large amount of waste. In addition, there is a possibility that an object on the front side shelf board 31 of the step may fall to the back side.

Therefore, a mechanism may be provided to prevent the back shelf plate 32 of the stage from being in the second state described above unless the back shelf 32 of the upper stage of the stage is in the second state described above. .. 5 and 6 show an example of such a mechanism. In this example, a slide shaft 37 and a rotation stopper 38 are provided.

The rotation stopper 38 is, for example, an arc-shaped member. The rotation stopper 38 is rotatably provided around the protrusion of the back shelf support 35. When the rotation stopper 38 is on the front side, the protrusion of the back side shelf support 35 hits the rotation stopper 38, and the movement of the back side shelf support 35 to the front side is prevented. When the rotation stopper 38 moves to the back side, the protrusion of the back side shelf support 35 does not hit the rotation stopper 38, and the back side shelf support 35 can move to the front side.

The slide shaft 37 is a rod-shaped member. One end of the slide shaft 37 is rotatably connected to the back shelf holder 35 on the upper stage. The other end of the slide shaft 37 is connected to the rotation stopper 38 of the step.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the back side shelf holder 35 of the upper stage is in a position of supporting the back side shelf plate 32, the rotation stopper 38 of the stage is located on the front side by the slide shaft 37. Therefore, the movement of the back shelf support 35 of the stage to the front side is prevented.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the back side shelf holder 35 in the upper stage is moved to the front side, the linear movement of the back side shelf holder 35 is caused by the rotation stopper 38 due to the slide shaft 37 and the rotation stopper 38. Converted to movement, the rotation stopper 38 of the stage is located on the back side. Therefore, it is possible to move the back side shelf board 32 to the front side. By providing such a mechanism, the shelves are partitioned back and forth in order from the upper shelf, so that it is possible to suppress the useless supply of cold air and the fall of stored items as described above.
