BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a built-in refrigerator that is installed in kitchen furniture such as a sink.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional built-in refrigerators will be described with reference to FIG. 3, taking as an example a device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-5973.

FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of kitchen furniture that houses a conventional built-in refrigerator.
A built-in refrigerator with an opening (hereinafter referred to as a refrigerator) 4
is installed. The above-mentioned refrigerator 4 has a heat insulating door 5 pivotally attached to the front opening that can be opened and closed, a machine room 8 housing a compressor 6, a fan 7, etc. below, and a duct 9 provided on the back and top surface. An air passage is provided that connects the above-mentioned intake hole 3a to the upper exhaust hole 10.

In the refrigerator configured as described above, outside air enters the machine room 8 through the intake hole 3a, passes through the duct 9 by natural convection or forced ventilation by the fan 7, and is discharged from the exhaust hole 10. It absorbs heat of magnitude 6 and releases it to the outside world.

[0005]

However, in the above structure, since the duct 9 is provided on the back and top surface of the refrigerator 4, there is a problem that the internal volume becomes small. In addition, when attaching a decorative door (not shown) to the kitchen furniture 2,
It is necessary to provide openings corresponding to the intake hole 3a and the exhaust hole 10, which detracts from the aesthetic appearance, increases man-hours, and becomes expensive.

[0006] The present invention solves the above problems.
To provide a built-in refrigerator having a large internal volume, excellent in appearance, and serving as inexpensive kitchen furniture.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, a bottom plate having a riser height is provided on the kitchen furniture 2, and the bottom plate has air intake holes 3a.
An exhaust hole is provided in the bottom plate in front of the riser 3 where the riser 3 is provided, and a communication hole is provided in the back of the bottom plate.Furthermore, the conventional duct 9 is eliminated and the fan 7 placed in the machine room 8 is installed. The air blowing direction is opposite to the conventional one, and the front opening and the above-mentioned exhaust hole are connected by an L-shaped discharge duct.

[0008]

[Function] With the above structure, there is no need to provide an opening in the decorative door, and the capacity of the refrigerator 4 can be increased.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, taking a sink as an example. 1 and 2 are cross-sectional views of a sink equipped with a refrigerator according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front sectional view.

In FIG. 1, the sink 11 has a bottom plate 12 with a riser height, an air intake hole 13a is provided in the riser plate 13 where the refrigerator 4 is stored, and a plurality of air intake holes are provided in the riser portion of the bottom plate 12. An exhaust hole 12a and a communication hole 12b are provided at the back, and a plurality of decorative doors 14 are attached to the front side to open laterally. The refrigerator 4 according to the present invention has a central decorative door 14.
Install it inside.

This refrigerator 4 differs from the conventional example shown in FIG.
The fan 7 is installed in the opposite direction, the communication hole 12b is opened at the rear end of the machine room 8, and the opening at the front of the machine room 8 for exhaust This point is that the L-shaped discharge duct 15 is connected to the exhaust hole 12a. Since the rest is the same as the conventional example, the same components are given the same reference numerals and their explanations are omitted.

According to this embodiment, the refrigerator 4 has a large internal volume because it is not necessary to provide the duct 9 on the back and top surface. Moreover, since there is no need to provide an opening in the decorative door 14, the aesthetic appearance is not impaired.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention,
Built-in refrigerators have a large internal capacity, and kitchen furniture does not require openings for air intake and exhaust in decorative doors, resulting in an excellent appearance and improved workability. Therefore, a built-in refrigerator with an overall low cost can be obtained.
