Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the lowering of the radiation effect and deformation of an outer box by disposing a radiation pipe and a tape member on the inner surface of the outer box through a buffer material such as a butyl tape or the like provided with a heat storage property and an adhesive property. CONSTITUTION:A buffer material 6 such as a butyl tape or the like provided with a heat storage property and an adhesive property is pasted to the inner surface of an outer box 2. Next, a radiation pipe 5 is pasted to the buffer material 6 pasted part. Thereafter, a tape member 7 is pasted in a form of covering the radiation pipe 5. Since the radiation pipe 5 is disposed on the inner surface of the outer box 2 through the buffer material 6, no spatial layer is generated between the radiation pipe 5 and the outer box 2, and hence it is possible to prevent the lowering of the radiation effect from the radiation pipe 5 and the deformation of the outer box 2. Further, by the existence of the tape member 7, a heat insulating material 4 makes ingress between the radiation pie 5 and the outer box 2 thereby to prevent the lowering of the radiation effect from the radiation pipe 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a heat dissipation pipe attached to the inner surface of an outer case.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, refrigerators have been provided with heat dissipation pipes within the insulating material of the refrigerator body.

An example of the conventional refrigerator mentioned above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

@Figures 3 and 4 show the configuration of a conventional refrigerator. 1 is a refrigerator body, 2 is an outer box, 3 is an inner box provided inside the outer box 2, 4 is a heat insulating material filled in both boxes 2 and 3, and 6 is a heat radiation pipe. The heat dissipating vibro is first temporarily fixed at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the outer box 2 inside the heat insulating material 4 with a temporary fixing tape 8, and then the outer box is fixed with a tape member 7 coated with adhesive e on one side in advance. It is attached so that it touches the inner surface of 2.

The operation of the refrigerator configured as described above will be explained below.

Heat radiation from the heat dissipation vibro was performed through the outer box 2 by bringing the heat dissipation vibro into contact with the outer box 2.

, Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, when the heat dissipation vibro is temporarily fastened, although the heat dissipation pipe 5 and the outer box 2 are in contact with each other at the temporary fastening portions provided at several locations in the heat dissipation vibro, ,
In other parts, a space layer was created between the heat dissipation vibro and the outer box 2 due to the curvature of the heat dissipation vibro and the outer box 2. Although most of the heat dissipating vibro was placed in contact with the outer box 2 by pasting the tape member 7 thereafter, a part of the space layer between the heat dissipating vibro and the outer box 2 remained as it was when temporarily attached. . Furthermore, even in the area where the space layer that existed during temporary fixing has disappeared due to pasting of the tape member 7, the adhesive surface of the tape member 7 is lifted due to the reaction force due to the rigidity of the heat dissipation pipe 5 or the outer box 2. I received a case where a space layer is formed between the heat dissipation vibro and the inner box 2 again.

The existence of this space layer has the problem of reducing the heat radiation effect from the heat radiation vibro, and causing deformation of the outer box 2 due to subsequent changes in ambient temperature.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been developed by providing the heat dissipation pipe inside the refrigerator body insulation material and attaching it to the outer box with a tape member, without reducing the heat dissipation effect from the heat dissipation pipe through the outer box. To provide a refrigerator that can prevent deformation.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the refrigerator of the present invention includes a heat dissipation pipe provided in the outer box and a tape member covering the heat dissipation pipe, and a tape member covering the heat dissipation pipe and the tape member on the inner surface of the outer box. A cushioning material having heat storage properties and adhesive properties, such as butyl tape, is arranged at the corresponding position, and the heat dissipation pipe and tape member have both heat storage properties and adhesive properties, such as the butyl tape, on the inner surface of the outer box. It has a structure in which it is arranged through a cushioning material.

Effects According to the above-described configuration, the heat dissipation pipe of the present invention is arranged through a cushioning material having heat storage properties and adhesive properties, such as butyl tape, so that a space layer is not generated between the heat dissipation pipe and the inner surface of the outer box. It disappears.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a refrigerator according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Components that are the same as those in the prior art are given the same numbers and detailed explanations will be omitted. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 6 denotes a cushioning material such as butyl tape that has both heat storage properties and adhesive properties, and as shown in FIG. Then, a heat dissipation pipe 5 is attached to the portion where the cushioning material 6 is attached, and then a tape member 7 is attached to cover the heat dissipation pipe. Since the heat dissipation pipe 5 is disposed on the inner surface of the outer box 2 through the cushioning material 6, no space layer is formed between the heat dissipation vibro and the outer box 2, and the heat dissipation pipe 5 when the space layer exists is
This will prevent the deterioration of the heat dissipation effect and the deformation of the outer box 2. Further, the presence of the tape member 7 prevents the heat insulating material 4 from entering between the heat radiation pipe i and the outer box 2 and reducing the heat radiation effect from the heat radiation vibro.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes an outer sum, an inner box, a heat insulating material filled between the two boxes, a heat radiation pipe on the inner surface of the outer box, and a tape member covering the heat radiation pipe. , a cushioning material having heat storage properties and adhesive properties is arranged on the inner surface of the outer box at a position corresponding to the arrangement of the heat radiation pipe and the tape member, and the heat radiation pipe and the tape member have heat storage properties and adhesive properties on the inner surface of the outer box. By disposing it through a cushioning material, there is no space layer between the heat dissipation pipe and the inner surface of the outer box, and its heat storage property improves the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation pipe and prevents deformation of the outer box. It will be fulfilled. In addition, since the heat dissipation pipe is arranged at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the outer box via the cushioning material, it is necessary to temporarily fix the heat dissipation pipe on the inner surface of the outer box using temporary fixing tape due to its adhesiveness. There is no need to use a tape member that covers the heat dissipation pipe coated with an adhesive in advance.
