Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a refrigerator or the like in which an underbody structure is incorporated in a lower portion of a refrigerator body or the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A conventional refrigerator of this type is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-28952, and an example of the conventional refrigerator described above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

4 and 5 show a conventional refrigerator. In the figure, the refrigerator main body 1 forms an outer shell composed of an outer box 2 and an inner box 3, and a heat insulating material 4 filled between them. Reference numeral 5 denotes a suspension structure, which forms a box body 6 integrally formed of synthetic resin, and a storage surface 9 for fixing a high pressure unit such as a compressor 7 and a heat radiation pipe 8 to the box body 6, and the storage surface. 9, an outer peripheral frame 11 that rises vertically upward from an outer periphery 10 of the outer peripheral frame 9, a fixing surface 13 that abuts a lower flange 12 of the outer box 2 at the upper portion of the outer peripheral frame 11, and a front leg fixed to the storage surface 9. 14 and rear legs 15, the underbody structure 5 having such a structure is fixed to the lower flange 12 of the outer box 2 by the mounting screw 16 via the fixing surface 13.

Further, a cooling pipe 17 is provided above the mounting surface portion 8 in a part of the cooling system, the cooling pipe 17 extending from an evaporator (not shown) to the compressor 7.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described configuration, under high humidity such as rainy season, dew is condensed on a portion of the cooling pipe 17 that is connected to the compressor from the evaporator in a part of the cooling system and comes out of the heat insulating material, and water droplets are condensed. And falls on the compressor mounting surface. For this reason, a liquid reservoir was provided on the surface where the compressor was attached, and water that had fallen was stored in the liquid reservoir and then allowed to dry naturally. However, the amount of dew condensation was not constant, and the accumulated water overflowed from the liquid reservoir and dropped onto the floor, which could contaminate the floor or even spoil the floor material.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a refrigerator that does not pollute the floor or spoil the floor material even if the condensed dew drops into drops of water on the compressor mounting surface and overflows. It is provided.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the underbody structure of a refrigerator or the like of the present invention is an underbody structure integrally formed of synthetic resin, which is attached to the lower part of the outer box of a refrigerator or the like, and includes a high pressure unit such as a compressor and a heat dissipation pipe. The evaporating dish, a mounting surface part for fixing the compressor, a liquid reservoir part provided in a part of the mounting surface part, and a groove connecting the liquid reservoir part to the upper part of the evaporating plate, It has a structure in which a cooling pipe, which is a part of the cooling system and connects the evaporator to the compressor, is installed above the opposite side.

[0008]

[Action]

 Due to the above-mentioned configuration, the dew condensed from the evaporator to the cooling pipe connected to the compressor becomes a water drop under high humidity such as rainy season and drops into the liquid reservoir on the compressor mounting surface, and the accumulated water is collected. In order to prevent the liquid from falling from the liquid reservoir to the overflowed floor and soiling the floor or damaging the floor material, a liquid reservoir provided on a part of the compressor mounting surface of the underbody structure integrally molded of synthetic resin By providing a groove that connects the liquid reservoir to the upper part of the evaporation dish, the water overflowing from the liquid reservoir is guided to the evaporation dish. The evaporating dish has a large amount of water storage, and since there is a heat radiation pipe at the bottom, the water that has a high temperature evaporates. Therefore, the overflowed water does not fall on the floor and pollute the floor, or the floor material is rotted.

[0009]

【Example】

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

Reference numeral 18 denotes an underbody structure, which forms a box body 19 integrally formed of synthetic resin, and a high pressure unit such as the compressor 7 and the heat radiation pipe 8 and an evaporation tray 20 are fixed to a storage surface 21. ing. Reference numeral 22 denotes a mounting surface to which the compressor 7 is fixed, and a liquid storage portion 23 is provided. A groove 24 is located above the evaporation dish 20 and extends from the liquid reservoir 23. Further, a cooling pipe 13 which is a part of a cooling system and extends from an evaporator (not shown) to the compressor 7 is provided above the liquid reservoir 23.

With the above configuration, under high humidity such as rainy season, dew that has condensed from the evaporator to the cooling pipe connected to the compressor becomes a water drop, which drops into the liquid reservoir on the compressor mounting surface and collects. When water overflows from the liquid reservoir and tries to fall onto the floor, the liquid reservoir provided on a part of the compressor mounting surface of the underbody structure integrally molded of synthetic resin and the upper part of the evaporation tray from the liquid reservoir. The water that overflows from the liquid reservoir is introduced to the evaporation dish by providing a groove that connects to the. The evaporating dish has a large amount of water stored, and since there is a heat radiation pipe in the lower part, the water that has a high temperature evaporates. Therefore, the overflowed water does not fall on the floor and pollute the floor or rot the floor material.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention is provided with a liquid reservoir portion provided on a part of the compressor mounting surface portion of the underbody structure integrally mounted with a synthetic resin, which is attached to the lower portion of the outer box of a refrigerator or the like, and an evaporation tray from the liquid reservoir portion. By providing a groove in the upper part, the water overflowing from the liquid reservoir is guided to the evaporating dish, but since the evaporating dish has a large amount of water storage and the lower part has a heat dissipation pipe, the water that has a high temperature evaporates. .. Therefore, the overflowed water does not fall on the floor and pollute the floor, and it does not rot the floor material.
