Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To obtain a box body of a refrigerator which can surely and inexpensively prevent a hand injury when the user puts his / her hand under the refrigerator for cleaning the floor. [Structure] On the lower surface of the reinforcing girder 4 located inside the bottom flange 3 close to the tip 3a of the bottom flange 3 obtained by folding back the bottom of the side plate 2, a protruding portion higher than the floating dimension of the tip 3a of the bottom flange 3 is formed. 10 was projected toward the lower surface of the refrigerator to prevent contact between the tip 3a of the bottom flange 3 and the hand. [Effect] Edge treatment of the bottom flange tip of the side plate can be performed without increasing the number of steps and cost.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a refrigerator box, and particularly to protection of a sharp edge at the tip of a sheet metal part.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 3 to 5 are views showing a conventional refrigerator box body disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 63-190888, in which 1 is a refrigerator main body and 2 is a refrigerator outer shell. A side plate 3 in which a steel plate is formed into a substantially gate shape, a bottom flange 3 in which the left and right bottom portions of the side plate 2 are bent inward in a substantially L shape, 3a is a tip of the bottom flange 3, 4 is a substantially L shape, and one side is formed. Is a lower part of the rear face of the side plate 2, and the other side is superposed on the bottom flange 3 to attach the reinforcement girder, and 5 is the front leg that is attached to the reinforcement girder 4 with the screw 6 through the bottom flange 3 of the side plate 2, 7 is a compressor base plate that also serves as rear legs and is attached by screws 6 like the front legs 5, 8 is a rear plate that closes the back surface of the box, and 9 is affixed by folding it back to the tip 3a of the lower flange 3 of the side plate 2. It is an edge protection tape.

Next, the operation will be described. An edge protection tape 9 is previously folded and attached to the tip 3a of the bottom flange 3 of the side plate 2 formed of a steel plate. Next, the reinforcing girder 4 is placed on the bottom flange 3, and the front leg 5 and the compressor base plate 7 are attached to the reinforcing girder 4 via the bottom flange 3 by the screws 6. At this time, the bottom flange 3 between the front leg 5 and the compressor base plate 7 is not mechanically fixed, and the tip of the bottom flange 3 may be deformed due to variations in the bending angle of the flange 3 or distortion caused by external force during component assembly. 3a is floated, but since the edge protection tape 9 is attached to the tip 3a of the flange 3 in advance, there is no danger after the assembling such as hand injury at the tip 3a, as shown in FIG. Moreover, the user was trying to ensure safety when putting his hands under the refrigerator for cleaning the floor.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the conventional refrigerator box is configured as described above, edge protection tape must be folded back and attached to the tip of the bottom flange of the side plate, which requires a large number of steps, increases processing costs, and increases the edge cost. There was a problem that it was dangerous because a defect occurred due to forgetting to attach the protective tape.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. The reinforcing girder, which is a component of the box, has the same function as the edge protection tape, and the edge protection tape is eliminated. The purpose is to obtain a refrigerator box that can

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The box body of the refrigerator according to the present invention has a protruding portion which is located on the lower surface of the reinforcing girder mounted on the bottom flange of the side plate and which is close to the tip of the bottom flange and projects downward from the tip of the bottom flange. Is provided.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the refrigerator box body according to the present invention, when the protrusion of the reinforcing girder puts a hand on the lower side of the refrigerator, the protrusion does not touch the tip of the bottom flange of the side plate. , The risk of injury such as cutting hands is eliminated without providing protective tape or other members.

[0008]

【Example】

 Example 1. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, the same reference numerals as those in the conventional technique indicate the same or corresponding portions. 2 is a side plate made of a steel plate forming the outer shell of the refrigerator, 3 is a bottom flange in which the left and right bottom parts of the side plate 2 are bent inward in a substantially L shape, 3a is the tip of this bottom flange 3, 4 is the bottom flange 3 The reinforcement girders 5 are attached to the reinforcement girders 4 with the screws 6 via the bottom flange 3 of the side plate 2, and the compressor base plate 7 also serves as the rear legs, which is attached to the reinforcement girders 4 like the front legs 5. , 8 is a rear plate that closes the back surface of the box body, and 10 is a protrusion integrally formed on the reinforcing girder 4 in the range between the front leg 5 and the compressor base plate 7, and is provided on the lower surface inside the bottom flange 3. It is close to the front end 3a of the bottom flange 3 and projects downward from the front end 3a.

Next, the operation will be described. The reinforcement girder 4 is set in the bottom flange 3, and the front leg 5 and the compressor base plate 7 are attached to the reinforcement girder 4 via the bottom flange 3 with the screw 6. At this time, as in the conventional case, the tip 3a of the bottom flange 3 is lifted, but the protrusion 10 formed on the reinforcing girder 4 is higher than the float dimension of the tip 3a of the bottom flange 3 and protrudes toward the lower surface of the refrigerator. Since the size of the bottom flange 3 is set to a predetermined value, the hand may hit the protruding portion 10 first even when the hand is put under the refrigerator such as floor sweeping, so that the tip 3a of the bottom flange 3 may be touched by the hand. Without cutting the hand with the tip 3a, there is no risk of injury.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to this invention, since the lower surface of the reinforcing girder is provided with the protruding portion that is close to the tip of the bottom flange of the side plate and projects downward from this tip, an injury due to the tip of the bottom flange is provided. Since it is possible to eliminate dedicated members such as edge protection tape to prevent, it is possible to reduce the number of processes and processing costs, and since edge protection tape is abolished, there is a risk of defective outflow due to forgetting to attach the tape. There is no effect, and it is possible to obtain something that can reliably prevent injuries due to the tip of the bottom flange.
