Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator which is installed under the floor of a kitchen, and a leg which can cope with deformation of a cabinet corner portion and damage to the floor surface due to a drop impact during transportation or installation of the refrigerator. It concerns structures.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, such a technique has been disclosed in JP-B-54-455.
In the cabinet corner structure of a freezer or a refrigerator as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-55, when an underfloor refrigerator is installed under the floor, the underfloor refrigerator is once installed on the floor, so that the floor surface is not scratched and damaged. There was a dent / deformation phenomenon in the cabinet corner when transporting an underfloor refrigerator.

Hereinafter, a conventional leg structure of a refrigerator as described above will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a conventional underfloor refrigerator provided with a leg structure, FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of the leg structure, and FIG. 8 is a rear view of the leg structure. 1 is a cabinet body, 2 is a shell, 3 is a frame that fits into an underfloor aluminum frame, 4 is a leg located on the bottom of the cabinet body, and 5 is a machine room housing.

As shown in FIG. 8, the leg 4 is attached to the bottom surface of the shell 2 and is located at approximately the center of the bottom surface of the shell to support the load of the underfloor refrigerator on the floor and to secure a space between the shell bottom surface and the floor surface. It was

The operation of the underfloor refrigerator leg structure constructed as above will be described below.

At the time of installation, the underfloor refrigerator is taken out of the packaging case and temporarily placed on the kitchen floor surface. At this time, it is necessary to be careful not to damage the surrounding floor surface / wall, etc.

Therefore, it is necessary to dispose the legs as cushioning materials in order to secure a space between the underfloor refrigerator body and the floor surface.

[0009]

However, in the above-mentioned structure, since the legs are on the bottom surface of the shell, the cabinet corner portion is dented / deformed due to the drop during transportation and transportation, resulting in poor appearance. Moreover, the edges of the cabinet corners lead to scratches on the floor and walls. In addition, since the legs are made of styrene foam, they are compressed by the load of the underfloor refrigerator body, which is a factor that promotes floor scratches.

Moreover, if the cabinet corner portion is deformed and perforated, there is a problem that the heat insulation material is liable to be partially discharged due to deterioration of the chlorofluorocarbon of the heat insulating material due to the deterioration of the sealing property and the heat insulating property is likely to be deteriorated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
By changing the shape and material of the legs and the mounting position, it is possible to eliminate dents, deformations, holes in the cabinet corners and scratches on the floor, and also due to deformation of the cabinet corners, perforation and deterioration of sealing performance. (EN) An underfloor refrigerator leg structure capable of preventing deterioration of heat insulation.

[0012]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an underfloor refrigerator leg structure of the present invention has four legs which are locked so as to cover the frame of the refrigerator body and the corners of the cabinet and the machine room housing. It is to be placed in a corner.

Further, the legs are locked so as to cover the frame of the refrigerator main body and the corners of the cabinet and the machine room housing, and the ridge lines in the horizontal direction of the legs are chamfered to be arranged at each of four corners.

Further, the legs are locked so as to cover the cabinet of the refrigerator main body and the corners of the machine room housing, and anchor portions are provided at the intersections of the inner ridge lines of the legs, and the anchor portions are provided as cutout portions of the cabinet corner portions. It is an insertion method and is installed at each of four corners.

[0015]

In the underfloor refrigerator leg structure of the present invention, by covering the cabinet corner portion and the machine room housing corner portion with the legs having the above-described configuration, the floor surface, the wall, etc. are scratched and the cabinet corner portion is dented or deformed. -It is possible to prevent cracks and the like.

Also, by covering the corners of the cabinet and the corners of the machine room housing with legs, scratches on the floor, walls, etc.
It is possible to prevent deformation and cracks. Moreover,
By adding chamfers to the horizontal ridges of each corner, the installation rotation path can be minimized when installing an underfloor refrigerator on the floor frame to facilitate detachability (installability). An anchor part is provided at the intersection, and the anchor part is inserted into the notch of the cabinet corner for quick positioning during assembly work, and by covering the cabinet corner and machine room housing corner with legs, It is possible to prevent scratches on surfaces, walls, etc. and dents, deformations, cracks, etc. at cabinet corners.
