Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a sink stand refrigerator, saved in a space therefor and low in electric power consumption, vibration and noise, by a method wherein the sink stand refrigerator is provided with a heat pipe, contacting with a compressor, a radiator, a sink stand accommodating the compressor and the radiator and a sink as well as a table, provided on the top surface of the sink stand, in one side while contacting with the radiator in the other side. CONSTITUTION:A sink stand 12 is provided with a rack 13 and an inverse L-shape heat pipe 14, which are made of heat conductive aluminum and provided for installing the main body 10 of a sink refrigerator, while a sink 6 and a table 7 are provided on the top surface thereof. The heat pipe 14 contacts with the rear surfaces of the sink 6 and the table 7 also. The main body 10 of the refrigerator dissipates heat through a radiator 4 during the operation of a refrigerating machine 3, however, the heat is transferred to the sink 6 and the table 7 through the heat pipe 14 to discharge it into a room directly. It is not necessary to make the height of a leg 11 high in order to form a suction duct or it is not necessary to provide an air discharging duct, therefore, the rack 13 may be utilized effectively. Further, a refrigerator, available of obtaining a sufficient strength easily and low in vibration and noise, may be obtained because of the low leg 11, heat dissipation due to using water in the sink may be expected and the electric power consumption thereof will never be increased than a conventional refrigerator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a sink refrigerator for a small-scale sink installed in a general home or office.

Conventional technology In the past, small refrigerators were housed under the sinks installed in ordinary homes (particularly apartments and condominiums) or offices, etc., in order to make effective use of narrow kitchens and save space.

Hereinafter, the conventional technology as described above will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a conventional refrigerator with a sink, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the refrigerator built into the sink.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a sink refrigerated rhinoceros main body, which is equipped with legs 2 and a cooling system including a compressor 3, a radiator 4, and the like. 5
1 is a sink, which is equipped with a synchronizer made of stainless steel or the like and a work tape 7 on the top, and a shelf 8 for storing the sink-refrigerator body 1 on the front side. Reference numeral 9 denotes a duct, which is provided at the upper part of the shelf 8 and forms an air passage for assisting the heat radiation of the radiator 4 of the sink refrigerator main body 1.The function of the sink refrigerator configured as described above will be explained below. explain.

First, cook with tape/L'7 etc. on the top of the sink 5, and wash used dishes etc. with a synchronizer.

On the other hand, food for cooking and the like are stored in a sink refrigerator 1 installed in a shelf 8.

In order to radiate heat from the radiator 4 of the sink refrigerator 1, surrounding air is introduced through the gap between the legs 2, and the air warmed by the radiator 4 rises and is discharged from the duct 9.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, it is necessary to increase the size of the sink shelf that houses the sink-refrigerator, increase the area of the duct, and raise the legs of the sink-refrigerator to improve heat dissipation. This not only increases power consumption and wastes space, but also causes vibration and noise unless the legs are made strong.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sink refrigerator with minimal ducts and legs, which is space-saving, consumes low power, and has low vibration and low noise.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the sink refrigerator of the present invention has a sink on the top of the sink, a table member made of stainless steel or the like that forms a workbench, etc., and a radiator that is brought into contact with a heat pipe. It is.

Function: Due to the above-mentioned configuration, most of the heat dissipation from the sink refrigerator is conducted directly into the atmosphere from the table member made of stainless steel or the like on the top of the sink. The shelf space for storage is greatly saved, the low legs make it easy to obtain great strength, and a sink refrigerator with low vibration and noise is provided.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition, 3 is a refrigerator, 4 is a radiator,
6 is a sink, and 7 is a table, which are the same as the configuration of the conventional example, so the same numbers are given and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

1o is the sink refrigerator body, compressor 3. It is equipped with a radiator 4 and legs 11. 12 is a sink, a shelf 13 on which the sink refrigerator body 1o is installed, and an inverted heat pipe 14
is made of Alemi or the like having good thermal conductivity, and a synchronizer and tape/L/7 are provided on the top surface. The heat pipe 14 is also in contact with the back surface of at least one side of the synchronizer or the table, and transfers the heat of the radiator 4 of the sink refrigerator main body 1o to the synchro or the table 7, and radiates the heat directly to the outside.

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

The sink refrigerator body 1o installed on the shelf 13 of the sink 12
During operation of the refrigerator 3, heat is radiated by the radiator 4, and this heat is transmitted to the synchronizer or the table via the heat pipe 14 and is directly radiated into the room. Therefore, there is no need to raise the height of the legs 11 to form an intake duct, and there is no need to provide an exhaust duct, so the size of the shelf 13 can be effectively utilized.

Furthermore, since the legs 11 can be made low, it is possible to easily obtain sufficient strength and to obtain a low-vibration and low-noise sink refrigerator. In addition, sufficient heat can be radiated directly into the room, and heat can be radiated by using water in the sink, so power consumption does not increase.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention allows heat to be radiated directly into the room by providing a heat pipe on the back of the stainless steel sink or table and bringing it into contact with the radiator of the sink-refrigerator, thereby saving shelf space. can be achieved, with low power consumption and low vibration.
We can provide low-noise sink refrigerators.
