Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The invention provides a storage room for freezing or refrigerating food, a cooler for cooling the food in the storage room,
A cooler storage room is provided in which the cooler is installed,
The present invention relates to a storage that cools the food by circulating cold air from the cooler.

<Conventional technology> An example of a conventional storage is a third storage using a refrigerator-freezer.
This will be explained with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a conventional refrigerator-freezer has a refrigerator main body 11 partitioned by a heat-insulating partition wall 12 to form a freezing compartment 13 and a refrigerating compartment 14.
A partition wall 14 is provided near the back of the cooling device 3 to form a cooler housing section 16 in which a cooler 15 is installed. A first duct 17 for circulating the cold air sent from the cooler 15 to the freezer compartment 13 is provided in the insulation partition wall 12, and the cold air from the cooler 15 is sent to the refrigerator compartment 14 through the insulation partition wall 12. A second duct 19 is provided to circulate the cold air to the cooler 15.

The cooler 15 is installed in the cooler storage chamber 16, and a blower fan 19 is installed above the cooler 15 to send cold air from the cooler 15 to the freezer compartment 13. An opening 20 through which cold air circulated through the first duct 17 and second duct 19 enters is provided at the bottom of the container storage chamber 16.

The cooler 15 includes a pipe 21 through which a refrigerant circulates, fins 22 that transmit cold heat from the pipe 21 to the air inside the refrigerator body 1, and a flange 2.
3, a large number of fins 22 are arranged side by side, the flanges 23 are provided at both ends of the fins 22, and the pipe 21 is arranged in a meandering manner passing through the fins 22 and the flanges 23.

The cooler 15 is installed in the cooler storage chamber 16 by attaching the mounting portion 24 to the flange 23 of the cooler 15.
A through hole 26 is provided in the mounting portion 24 to allow the screw 25 to pass through, and the back wall 2 of the cooler storage portion 16 is
7 is provided with a tap plate 29 having a fastening hole 28, and the screw 2 is inserted into the connecting hole 28 of the tap plate 29 through the through hole 26 of the mounting portion 24 of the flange 23.
5 was fastened to attach the cooler 15 to the back wall 27 of the cooler storage section 16.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In the case of a refrigerator with the above configuration, the cooler was attached to the back wall of the cooler storage chamber by fastening screws, so the fins of the cooler were deformed. Because the screws are easy to tighten, it is necessary to be very careful not to deform the fins when tightening the screws, and it may take some time to tighten the screws, making it difficult to install the cooler on the back wall of the cooler storage chamber. The drawback was that the efficiency was very low.

The object of the present invention is to provide a storage that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

<Means for solving the problems> The storage of the present invention includes a storage room for freezing or refrigerating food, a cooler for cooling the food in the storage room, and a cooler storage room for installing the cooler. It is set up. A fitting protrusion is provided on a side wall of the cooler storage chamber, a mounting member is provided that engages with both sides of the cooler to attach the cooler to the cooler storage chamber, and the fitting protrusion is provided on the mounting member. A fitting recess is provided to fit into the cooling chamber, and a rib is provided to sandwich the cooler between the back wall of the cooler storage chamber.

<Function> The above-mentioned storage is constructed by engaging the mounting members on both sides of the cooler, and fitting the fitting recesses of the mounting members into the fitting protrusions on the side walls of the cooler storage chamber, so that the above-mentioned cooling can be carried out. The cooler is attached to the cooler storage chamber by the mounting member, and the rib of the attachment member and the back wall of the cooler storage chamber sandwich the cooler to prevent the cooler from shifting back and forth.

<Example> An example of the storage of the present invention will be described using a refrigerator-freezer with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The same parts in the embodiment of the refrigerator-freezer of the present invention as those in the conventional refrigerator-freezer are given the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the refrigerator-freezer of the present invention has opposing side walls 1 and 2 of a cooler storage chamber 16.
are provided with fitting convex portions 3 and 4, and are provided with mounting members 5 and 6 that engage with the ends of the pipes 20 on both sides of the cooler 15 to attach the cooler 15 to the cooler storage chamber 16. . The fitting convex portions 3,
4 are provided, and the cooler 15 is connected to the back wall 25 of the cooler storage chamber 16.
Ribs 9 and 10 are provided, respectively, to be held between the two.

Note that the fitting protrusions 3 and 4 are connected to the cooler storage chamber 1.
6 from the back wall 25 to the partition wall 14 that partitions the cooler storage chamber 16 and the freezer compartment 13, and is used to store relatively high-temperature cold air that has circulated between the freezer compartment 13 and the refrigerator compartment 14. is the above cooler 1
5 and the side walls 1 and 2 of the cooler storage chamber 16, and the fins 21 of the cooler 15
The cold air passes through the gap, so that the cold heat of the cooler 15 is efficiently transmitted to the cold air.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the storage of the present invention engages the mounting member with the cooler and causes the fitting recess of the mounting member to fit with the fitting protrusion of the side wall of the cooler storage chamber. Since the cooler is attached, the cooler can be easily attached, improving work efficiency, and the fins of the cooler can be deformed less than when attaching with conventional screws.
