Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the influence of heat from a refrigerator on adjacent cabinets in a kitchen by forming two ducts consisting of partition plates between the sides of the refrigerator and the kitchen cabinets. CONSTITUTION:A duct wall 15 has a pair of frames 13 each of which is rectangular. To one side of each of the frames 13 a magnet 14 is attached, which is fixed to the side of the refrigerator 1 by attraction. A partition plate 12 is provided, which can be bent in the shape of bellows and the ends of which are attached to the frames 13 respectively. Both the partition plate 12 and the frames 13 have a length equal to the height of the refrigerator body 1. The frames 13 are attached to the side of the refrigerator body 1, one at the front and the other at the rear, and the partition plate 12 divides the space 9 into smaller ones. Since the space 9 between the refrigerator body 1 and each of kitchen cabinets 4, 5 is divided into a plurality of spaces each having the shape of a triangular prism, the warm air inside each triangular prism flows from the lower part to the upper part under chimney effect without staying stagnant. As a result, it does not occur for the heat from the refrigerator to directly come in contact with the walls of adjacent kitchen cabinets.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The heat dissipation structure of a refrigerator installed in a conventional system kitchen simply pushes the refrigerator into the space of the system kitchen cabinet.
As shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-2130, the structure is such that the heat discharged from the refrigerator is radiated by natural convection.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional heat dissipation device for a refrigerator will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 4 is a top view of a refrigerator installed in a conventional system kitchen, FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view of a refrigerator installed in a conventional system kitchen, and FIG. 6 is a horizontal sectional view of the system kitchen and the refrigerator. is there.

Reference numeral 8 is a system kitchen in which the ceiling cabinet 3 is arranged between the left and right storage cabinets 4, 5.
A space 8a is formed between the inner wall surface 2 and the inner wall surface 2.

In the refrigerator body 1, a compressor 6 is arranged at the bottom of the rear surface, and a condensing pipe 7 is arranged in a meandering manner on the rear surface and both side surfaces 1a. A blind 10 also serving as a heat radiating grill 10 is attached between the top surface of the refrigerator 1 and the ceiling cabinet 3.

With this structure, when the compressor 6 is operated, the generated heat and the heat of the condensation pipe rise in the space 8a and are discharged from the grill 10.

[0007]

However, with the installation structure as described above, when the outside air rises, such as in the summer, the operating rate increases and the amount of heat radiation also increases. The radiated warm air causes stagnation in the heat dissipation space of the refrigerator 1, the back wall surface 2, the storage cabinet 4, and the storage cabinet 5, resulting in insufficient exhaust heat. There was a problem that the internal temperature of the product also increased, which had an adverse effect on the stored food.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a wall surface heat dissipation device for a refrigerator in which heat from the refrigerator is less affected by the storage cabinet of the system kitchen.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a wall heat dissipation device for a refrigerator according to the present invention comprises a refrigerator main body having a condensation pipe on a side surface and a duct wall attached to the side surface of the main body. The duct wall is composed of a pair of front and rear edges extending in a direction perpendicular to the side surface, and bellows-shaped partition plates extending in the vertical direction with one ends attached to the edges.

Further, it comprises a pair of edges which are rectangular parallelepipeds, a magnet provided on one side of the edges, and a bellows-shaped partition plate which is provided between the edges and is bendable in the front-rear direction.

[0011]

With the above structure, the present invention forms two ducts by partition plates between the side surface of the refrigerator and the storage cabinet. Further, the bellows shape allows the duct to be subdivided.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
Will be explained with reference. Incidentally, the same components as those of the conventional one are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

A duct wall 15 has a pair of edges 13 of rectangular parallelepiped, and a side surface of the edges 13 is attached with a magnet 14 which is attracted and fixed to the side surface 1a of the refrigerator. A flexible bellows-shaped partition plate 12 having each end attached to the edge 13 is provided.

Further, both the edge 13 and the partition plate 12 have a length equal to the height of the refrigerator body 1, and the edge 13 has the side surface 1.
Spaces 9 are respectively attached to the front and rear of a and are subdivided by partition plates 12.

Further, the edge 13 covers the space between the refrigerator main body 1 and the storage cabinets 4 and 5 from the front side, and therefore also serves as a decorative plate that hides the gap.

Therefore, in order to divide the space 9 between the storage cabinets 4 and 5 into a plurality of triangular cubes,
The warm air in the partitioned triangular cube is discharged from the bottom to the top without stagnating due to the chimney effect. As a result, the heat discharged from the refrigerator does not directly touch the wall of the adjacent storage cabinet, and the storage cabinet left 4
Alternatively, it does not affect the heat stored in the storage cabinet 5.

[0017]

As described above, the heat dissipation device of the refrigerator of the present invention comprises the refrigerator main body having the condensation pipe on the side surface and the duct wall attached to the side surface of the main body. It consists of a pair of front and rear edges extending in a right angle direction, and a bellows type partition plate with one end attached to each edge and extending in the vertical direction. Since it is possible to form a heat dissipation space that can be formed, each space can be exhausted without stagnating due to the chimney effect, so the heat dissipation effect does not deteriorate and heat does not easily transfer to the wall surface of the installation site, so if this wall surface is stored If it is a storage wall, it does not affect the storage.

Further, a pair of edges formed of rectangular parallelepipeds, a magnet provided on one side of the edges, and a bellows-shaped partition plate provided between the edges and bendable in the front-rear direction are used. Since it can be easily changed with a magnet, it is easy to replace or adjust the position depending on the installation location.
