[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with the above configuration, under high temperature and high humidity, the lower part of the refrigerator door and the lower part of the gasket attached to the refrigerator door may be cooled by the cold air in the refrigerator to cause dew condensation and drop on the floor. . In addition, food and drink were sometimes spilled and dropped on the floor when the door was opened.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a refrigerator in which the floor is not polluted even if dew condensation is formed on the lower part of the refrigerator door and the gasket, or food or drink in the refrigerator is spilled.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the refrigerator of the present invention is a suspension structure integrally formed with synthetic resin that is attached to the lower part of the outer box of the refrigerator, and stops the high-pressure unit such as the compressor and the evaporation pipe. When it is put on, it consists of a storage surface, an outer peripheral frame that rises vertically upward from the outer periphery of the storage surface, an outer box lower part at the upper part of the outer peripheral frame and a contact stabilizer fixing surface, and the outer peripheral part of the fixing surface is It has a structure in which it is made to fall inward from the corner end face of the lower part of the outer box, and a liquid storage part is provided on the outer peripheral part facing the refrigerator door and the gasket.

In addition, a storage surface for fixing a high-pressure unit such as a compressor and an evaporation pipe and an evaporation dish in the underbody structure, an outer peripheral frame that stands up vertically upward from the outer periphery of the storage surface, and the outer peripheral frame described above. The upper part of the outer box comes into contact with the lower part of the outer box, and the outer peripheral part of the fixed surface is stepped down inside the corner end surface of the lower part of the outer box to provide an inward slope and the evaporating dish on the inclined part. It is characterized by the provision of a guide groove toward the.

[0007]

[Action]

 With the above-described structure, the present invention is configured such that, under high temperature and high humidity, the lower part of the refrigerator door and the lower part of the gasket attached to the refrigerating door are cooled by the cold air inside the container to cause dew condensation and drop, or the food in the container Even if the juice or drink that comes out of the product spills and tries to fall onto the floor when the door is opened, the outer periphery of the fixing surface of the underbody structure integrally molded of synthetic resin is cut off from the corner end surface of the lower part of the outer box. It does not pollute the floor because it drops inside and drops into the liquid reservoir provided on the outer periphery facing the refrigerator door and gasket.

Further, since the outer peripheral portion of the fixing surface is stepped down inside the corner end surface of the lower portion of the outer box, an inclination is provided toward the inside, and a guide groove is provided at the inclined portion toward the evaporation dish. Since the dew or food juice adhering to the gasket, etc., travels through the inclined portion and the guide groove and falls into the evaporation dish, it does not pollute the floor.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3. It should be noted that the same components as those of the conventional one are designated by the same reference numerals, detailed description thereof will be omitted, and only different portions will be described.

Reference numeral 17 denotes an underbody structure, which forms a box 18 integrally molded of synthetic resin, and a high pressure unit such as the compressor 7 and the evaporation pipe 8 and an evaporation tray 19 are fixed to the storage surface 20. ing. Reference numeral 21 denotes a door of the refrigerator 1, which is attached to the refrigerator body 1 by a hinge (not shown) via a gasket 22.

Reference numeral 23 denotes an outer peripheral frame that rises vertically upward from the outer periphery of the storage surface 20, and contacts the lower flange 12 of the outer box 2 at the upper portion of the outer peripheral frame 23 to form a fixing surface 24. There is. Reference numeral 25 denotes a liquid storage portion provided on the outer peripheral portion facing the door 21 and the gasket 22 by lowering the outer peripheral portion of the fixing surface 24 inward from the corner end surface of the lower portion of the outer box 2.

With the above configuration, under high temperature and high humidity, the lower part of the refrigerator door 21 and the lower part of the gasket 22 attached to the refrigerator door 21 are cooled by the cool air in the refrigerator to cause dew condensation, and fall or fall. Even if the juice, drink, etc. from the food of spilled and spilled on the floor when the door 21 is opened, the outer peripheral part of the fixing surface 24 of the underbody structure 17 integrally molded of synthetic resin is put into the outer box. The floor is not polluted because it is stepped down inside the lower corner end face and drops to the liquid storage part 25 provided on the outer peripheral part facing the refrigerator door 21 and the gasket 22.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the same components as those of the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted, and only different parts will be described. Describe.

That is, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral portion of the fixing surface 24 is inwardly stepped out from the corner end surface of the lower portion of the outer box 2 to provide an inward inclination, and the inclined portion 26 is provided on the evaporation tray 19. A guide groove 27 is provided toward the side.

With the above configuration, under high temperature and high humidity, the lower part of the refrigerator door 21 and the lower part of the gasket 22 attached to the refrigerator door 21 are cooled by the cold air in the refrigerator to cause dew condensation, and fall or fall. Even if the juice, drink, etc. from the food of spillage is spilled and it tries to fall on the floor when the door 21 is opened, the outer peripheral portion of the fixing surface 24 of the underbody structure 17 integrally molded of synthetic resin is put into the outer box. The floor is soiled because it is dropped inside from the lower corner end face and falls to the inclined portion 26 provided on the outer peripheral portion facing the refrigerator door 21 and the gasket 22 and to the evaporation tray 19 through the guide groove 27. There is no.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention is an underbody structure integrally formed of synthetic resin, which is attached to the lower part of an outer box of a refrigerator, and has a storage surface for fixing a high-pressure unit such as a compressor and an evaporation pipe and an evaporation tray, and It consists of an outer peripheral frame that rises vertically upward from the outer periphery of the storage surface, and a fixing surface that contacts the lower part of the outer box at the upper part of the outer peripheral frame, and the outer peripheral part of the fixing surface is a step inside the corner end surface of the lower part of the outer box. Since the liquid reservoir is provided on the outer periphery facing the refrigerator door and the gasket when it is dropped, the dew that adheres to the lower part of the door and the juice of the food in the refrigerator will not drop and stain the floor.

In addition, in the underbody structure, the outer peripheral portion of the fixing surface is stepped down inside the corner end surface of the lower portion of the outer box to provide an inward inclination and the inclined portion toward the evaporation dish. Since the guide groove is provided, dew that adheres to the lower part of the door and soup of food in the refrigerator will not drop and stain the floor.
