Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a high-humidity refrigerator for keeping food in a humid condition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional technique, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-51685 discloses a high-humidity, low-temperature storage in which grid-like stripes are formed on the lower surface of a dew receiving plate.

[0003]

In the conventional prior art dew receiving plate, water droplets adhering to the lower surface of the dew receiving plate grow as the water droplets flow to the rear of the dew receiving plate, and the surface tension of water keeps its own weight. There was a problem that it could not be cut off and fell, and the food stored in the refrigerator was wet.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by making it easy for dew attached to the lower surface of the dew receiving plate to flow to the rear of the dew receiving plate,
The first purpose is to allow the dew to flow to the rear of the dew receiving plate while the dew is small.

The second purpose is to concentrate the dew on the dew receiving plate while a small amount of the dew is attached to the dew receiving plate, and to flow the dew receiving plate rearward as soon as possible.

[0006]

In order to achieve the first object, the high-humidity refrigerator according to the present invention has a dew receiving plate, which is arranged rearward and inclined at a low angle, for alumite treatment.

Further, as in the case of the first aspect, in order to achieve the second object, the dew receiving plate is formed in a corrugated plate shape in which the convex portions are continuous in the inclined direction.

[0008]

According to the present invention, since the dew receiving plate is subjected to the alumite treatment, the dew receiving plate can easily flow to the rear of the dew receiving plate while the dew adhering to the dew receiving plate is small, thereby preventing the stored food from getting wet.

Further, according to the present invention, since the dew receiving plate is formed in a corrugated plate shape in which the convex portions are continuous in the inclined direction, the growth of dew can be stopped and the dew can be easily flowed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a main body of a high-humidity refrigerator, which is composed of an insulating wall 4 provided with a foam insulating material between an outer box 2 and an inner box 3, and has a door 5 at a front opening. is doing.

At the lower left side of the main body 1, the compressor 6,
A condenser fan 8 and a condenser (not shown) are stored and installed,
A machine room heat insulating wall 7 formed of foam heat insulating material, an evaporator 18, and an evaporator fan 8 are provided on the upper portion.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an interior box body made of a good heat conductor which also serves as a duct component, and is constituted by an upper upper plate 10, a rear back plate 11, and side plates 12A and 12B on both side lower plates. ing.

Upper plate 10, back plate 11, side plate 1 of inner box 9
2A, 12B, the lower part 13 is provided with constant air layers 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E between the inside 19 and the inner box 3 so that the cool air sent by the evaporator fan 8 is shut off. Has been done.

Inside the upper plate 10 of the inner box 9, the back plate 11 and the upper plate 10 of the inner box 9 are arranged so that the dew receiving plate 15 is inclined downward to the rear side of the inner box 9. Fixed first
It is held by the mounting bracket 16 and the second mounting bracket 17.

With respect to the high-humidity refrigerator configured as described above, focusing on the flow of cold air and the state of dew on the dew receiving plate 15,
The operation will be described below.

The cool air (indicated by an arrow in the figure) passing through the evaporator 18 and the evaporator fan 8 flows through the air layer 14A with the inner box 3 partitioned by the upper plate 10 of the inner box 9 and the side plates of the inner box 9. 12A
And an air layer 14C with the lower plate 13, an air layer 14D with the side plate 14B, or a part of the back plate 1 of the interior box 9.
1 through the air layer 14E, through the evaporator 18 and back to the evaporator fan.

At this time, since the cold air is completely cut off from the inside 19, the cold air does not flow into the inside 19. Therefore, the inside 1
Since the cooling of 9 is performed by the internal box body 9, the inside 19 is kept in a high humidity cooling state.

Further, since the inside 19 is cooled by the upper plate 10, the back plate 11, the side plates 12A and 12B, and the lower plate 13 of the inner box 9, the humidity in the inside 19 is the upper plate of the inner box 9. 10,
Dew is formed inside the back plate 11, the side plates 12A and 12B, and the lower plate 13. Dew attached to the back plate 11 and the side plates 12A and 12B flows down through the respective plates.

On the other hand, the dew on the upper plate 10 grows and falls. The fallen dew is received by the dew receiving plate 15 and guided to the rear of the inner box 9 by the inclination of the dew receiving plate 15. Also, the dew adhered to the dew receiving plate 15 itself is guided to the rear of the inner box 9 by the inclination of the dew receiving plate 15 before the dew greatly grows, and the stored food is not wet by the falling dew.

Next, a high humidity refrigerator according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted. First
The difference from the embodiment is that the dew receiving plate 20 has a corrugated plate shape,
It is located where the convex portions are continuous in the inclined direction.

The operation of the high humidity refrigerator as described above will be described below. By forming the dew receiving plate 20 in a corrugated plate shape, dew received on or attached to the lower portion of the convex shape of the corrugated plate is collected, so that the dew receiving plate 15 of the flat plate of the first embodiment is faster and has a larger grain size. Becomes Since the dew does not flow through the inclined dew receiving plate 20 unless it grows to some extent, the dew receiving plate 20 of the corrugated plate is easier to flow dew than the flat plate.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, the box body having the heat insulating wall provided with the foam heat insulating material is formed between the outer box and the inner box, and the upper plate, the back plate, the side plates, An inner box body is provided by providing a space portion so as to form an air layer at a predetermined distance from each lower plate, and an evaporator fan and an evaporator are provided between the inner box side surface and the side surface portion of the inner box body. The inside of the upper surface of the inner box is provided with a dew receiving plate that is inclined rearward, and the dew receiving plate is subjected to alumite treatment to expose the dew received from the upper plate of the inner box and the attached dew. It can be run while it is small to prevent food from getting wet.

Further, according to the present invention, by forming the dew receiving plate in the shape of a corrugated plate in which the convex portions are continuous in the inclined direction, the growth of dew can be stopped and the received dew and the attached dew can be easily flowed.
