PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the cost by simplifying the mounting constitution of a condenser disposed in the mechanical room behind the lower part of the body of a refrigerator. SOLUTION: The mechanical room behind the lower part of the body of a refrigerator is partitioned to right and left with a divider 4 provided with a ventilation ports 3, and a compressor and a condenser, in one block, and a fan motor 8 with fan 7 is opposed to the ventilation port 3 of the divider 4, in the other block, are arranged. The condenser consists of fins where many sheets are stacked and a heat radiating pipe 12 orthogonally crossing the fins, and the plural places of the heat radiating pipe 12 are held with the pinching parts at the tip of the support 13a integrally formed with the divider 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a structure of a support for supporting a radiating pipe of a condenser provided in a machine room at a rear lower portion of a main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A machine room 2 as shown in FIG. This machine room 2 is divided into right and left by a partition (also referred to as a flow straightening plate) 4 provided with a ventilation hole 3, a compressor 5 and a condenser 6 are arranged in one section, and a compressor 5 and a condenser 6 are arranged in the other section. A fan motor 8 in which a fan 7 faces the ventilation hole 3 of the partition body 4 is provided.
The outside air taken in from the intake port 9 by the rotation of the fan 7 is passed to the condenser 6 side to cool the condenser 6 and the compressor 5, and to the outside through a plurality of exhaust ports 11 formed on one side of the back plate 10. It is designed to exhaust. FIG. 3 shows an example of installation of the condenser 6, which is composed of a number of stacked fins (not shown) and a radiation pipe (heat transfer tube) 12 orthogonal to the fins. When disposing the condenser 6, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the heat radiating pipe 12 is held by a holding portion of a separately formed support 13, one end of the support 13 is brought into contact with the partition 4, and a screw 14 is used. The configuration was fixed.

[0003]

However, in the above configuration, a plurality of supports 13 must be screwed to predetermined positions of the partition 4 one by one, and the number of parts increases.
There is a problem that the mounting work is troublesome and the cost is high. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator in which a condenser can be mounted more easily.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is divided into right and left by a partition provided with a ventilation hole at a rear portion of a machine room at a lower portion of a main body. A compressor is provided, a condenser is provided between the compressor and the partition, and a fan motor having a fan opposed to a ventilation hole of the partition is provided in the other section. In a refrigerator in which outside air taken in from the mouth is passed to the condenser side and exhausted from the exhaust port, a support for supporting the condenser is formed integrally with the partition. Further, the support is formed at a plurality of positions of the partition. Further, a holding portion for holding the heat radiating pipe of the condenser is provided on the support. Further, the intake port is provided at a lower front portion of the machine room. Further, the exhaust port is provided on one side of a back plate of the machine room.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS According to the present invention, a machine room at a lower rear portion of a main body is divided into right and left by a partition provided with a ventilation hole, and a compressor is provided in one of the compartments. A condenser is disposed between the bodies, and a fan motor having a fan facing the ventilation hole of the partition body is disposed in the other section. In a refrigerator configured to be exhausted from an exhaust port provided on one side of a back plate of a machine room, a support for supporting the condenser is formed integrally with the partition body. The number of parts required for mounting is reduced, and the mounting has become easier.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an internal configuration of a machine room 2 formed at a lower rear part of a main body 1 of a refrigerator. The machine room 2 is divided into right and left by a partition body 4 provided with a ventilation hole 3. In the section, a compressor 5 and a condenser 6 are provided, and in the other section, a fan motor 8 having a fan 7 opposed to the ventilation hole 3 of the partition body 4 is provided. The outside air taken in from the intake port 9 at the lower front of the machine room 2 by the rotation of the fan 7 flows to the condenser 6 side, cools the condenser 6 and the compressor 5, and is formed on one side of the back plate 10. The air is exhausted from the exhaust port 11 to the outside. The feature of this embodiment is that a heat radiating pipe for the condenser 6 is provided as shown in FIG.
A support 13a having a holding portion for holding and fixing the 12
Are formed integrally at a plurality of locations, thereby reducing the number of parts required for disposing the condenser 6 and facilitating assembly.

[0007]

According to the above-described structure, the condenser can be easily arranged, and the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts used.
