It is explanatory drawing which shows the relationship of arrangement | positioning of the storage room.

First, this embodiment is developed based on the demand of a single self-catering person, particularly a single self-catering woman. For example, according to a questionnaire survey conducted by the present inventors, nearly 80% of single women devote themselves to self-cooking, of which nearly 70% self-cook at least three times a week, an average of 4.9 times. Extend.

Also, in response to the question of why you cook yourself,
76% of respondents cited "for health" and "economics", 76% considered health including diet, and liked food, 37
%, Followed by diet 18%. In addition, regarding bulk buying of food, including almost 37% bulk buying and 36% bulk selling on special sales days, 3/4 of single women are trying to "bulk buy" daily food on a weekly basis at spas. In addition, regarding what they do in their diet, 77% eat vegetables, 48% consider nutritional balance, 48% eat three meals properly, and 41% pay attention to calories. Although she has a healthy diet, she accounts for nearly 80% of single women.

According to the results of these investigations, the refrigerator 1 according to the present embodiment opens a home party with a friend because he / she lives alone, he / she cares about health and nutrition, he / she wants to pay attention to diet, and he likes to eat. It has been developed to meet the needs of people who want to make effective use of space because they are small rooms, want to easily cook, and stick to interiors.

Specifically, refrigerator 1 according to the present embodiment
Then, the capacity setting and the arrangement of the storage room are devised in order to meet the demand. According to the results of a survey conducted by the present inventors, 70% of users are dissatisfied with the conventional 120L-class refrigerator, and 43% and 21% are particularly dissatisfied with the vegetable room and the door pocket. . He has the following specific complaints. In the refrigeration room, there is not enough storage for seasonings and accessories, there is not enough storage capacity for bottles at the time of home patties, and there are 10 storage cases including stock because eggs are bought in 6 case cases. I want it, etc. As for the vegetable room, there are cases such as wanting to store whole vegetables and storing more vegetables. As for the freezer compartment, there is a need to use frozen foods, to use home food for those who cannot eat food, to have a larger space, and to have ice pillows in preparation for illness. In the refrigerator 1 according to the present embodiment, the storage capacity of the refrigerator 1 is set so as to store the selected items in response to these demands. This will be described with reference to FIG.

In the refrigerator 1 according to the present embodiment, the total storage capacity V is greatly increased from the conventional 120 L to about 200 L, so that the size and the function for storing the bulk purchased food and the ready-to-eat food in a weekly manner can be provided. Have. 85L of the refrigerator compartment including the conventional vegetable compartment is greatly increased to 150L, and a full-fledged independent vegetable compartment that can maintain the freshness by keeping the vegetable compartment 200 independent of the refrigerator compartment 100 in consideration of the strong demand for vegetable storage is provided. ing. This vegetable room 2
In the case of 00, the storage capacity VV is set to about 44 L, which is large enough to accommodate fresh and economical cabbage, lettuce, and packed vegetables, and can store vegetables that cannot be used by one person at a time without worrying about a decrease in freshness. . In addition, the storage capacity VR of the refrigerator compartment 100 is set to be a large storage space of about 106 L, and a wide variety of seasonings that are constantly provided can be stored with ample space. The pocket storage unit 102 for storing seasonings, accessories, plastic bottles, and the like is set to have a size that occupies 40% of the refrigerator compartment 100. Furthermore, the storage capacity VF of the freezer compartment 300 is greatly increased from 35 L in the related art to 50 L, so that the storage capacity VF can be immediately stored and stored for a long time.

In consideration of the frequency of use of each storage room,
The most frequently used refrigerator compartment 100 at the top of the refrigerator 1
The best layout is achieved by arranging the vegetable room 200, which is used most frequently next to the middle stage, and the freezing room 300 at the bottom. Further, in the present embodiment, the height, the door configuration, and the like are set so that each of the storage rooms fits the female figure and the living environment of living alone. This will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 8, as described above, since the living environment of a single person is narrow, there have been many cases in which a microwave oven and other equipment have been installed on the upper part of a refrigerator in many cases. There is a strong demand that a microwave oven necessary for answering frozen food be installed at the top of the refrigerator. In the refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment, the height H1 of the refrigerator 1 is set so as to meet these demands.

In other words, Japanese adult women (age 20 to 49)
Age) is around 1570 mm. When the average woman uses the refrigerator 1 400 mm away from the refrigerator 1, since the height of the line of sight of the woman is 1450 mm, devices placed in the refrigerator 1 from the position of the line of sight, for example, storage in the refrigerator of a microwave oven It is necessary to check the surface and put the dish in and out. Also, from the average female physique,
The range that can be easily reached in the standing posture is 1530 mm, and the operable area where the dish can be taken in and out with the hand raised above the shoulder is 1240 mm to 1420 mm. Within this range, dishes and the like to be cooked in the microwave oven can be easily taken in and out. Here, in the case of a general microwave oven, the height H7 from the installation surface to the inside storage surface of the microwave oven is in the range of 90 mm to 100 mm.

From this, when the average woman is used as a reference, a microwave oven is placed on the upper surface of the refrigerator 1, and the maximum height at which the microwave oven is easy to use is 1420 mm. In other words, the refrigerator 1 maintains good operability of the microwave oven.
Can be said to have a maximum height H1 of 1320 mm. On the other hand, the height at which the microwave oven is placed is not necessarily low, and the position below the height H1 of the refrigerator 1 which naturally secures the storage capacity of the refrigerator and improves the usability is naturally located. It is determined. In the present embodiment, the position below the height H1 of the refrigerator 1 is set to 1100 mm. That is, the height H of the refrigerator 1
1 is set in a range of 1100 mm to 1320 mm, and within this range, a single self-catering person (especially a woman) can easily use the refrigerator 1 and the equipment (especially a microwave oven that is frequently requested) installed on the upper surface thereof. Can be improved.

According to the survey result of the installation space of the refrigerator, in the case of a 1DK rental house, the width W is 600 mm.
60% of houses can install refrigerators, and the width W is 50mm
27% of homes have a 60mm refrigerator. From the result of this investigation, in the refrigerator 1 according to the present embodiment, the height H1 is set to 1300 mm, the width W is set to 590 mm, and the depth D is set.

In this embodiment, the door configuration and height of each storage room are set while maintaining the capacity and arrangement of each storage room and the overall height H1. For a standard woman, the range of reach in a standing position is 550mm to 1530
mm. Further, in the crouching posture which can be easily changed from the standing posture, the lower range is expanded to 310 mm.
In other words, it is easy to operate within the range of the standing posture, and it is within the range of the crouching posture that the operation can be easily performed by slightly changing the posture. The lower range in the standing posture slightly depends on the height of the upper end of the drawer door 20 of the vegetable compartment 200. For example, if the drawer door 20 is above, as in a large refrigerator, the upper end of the drawer door 20 will obstruct the lower range, and if the height of the upper end is lower, as in a small refrigerator, the lower part will be lower. Range becomes lower. In the refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment, since the height H1 of the refrigerator 1 is set low, the height of the upper end of the drawer door 20 also becomes low. In this embodiment, the lower range is determined based on experimental verification in consideration of the above contents.

The range below 310 mm is a squatting posture in which the user has to change the posture from the standing posture and operate. When the user uses the refrigerator, it is desirable to arrange the storage room in the operating range of the standing posture or the crouching posture.

In the present embodiment, since the refrigerator compartment 100 is within the range of the standing posture and close to the height of the line of sight of the woman, the door of the refrigerator compartment 100 is opened and closed by the swing type door 10. And The height H4 (center position) of the opening / closing door handle 11 of the opening / closing door 10 is set to about 1175 mm, which is the average position of the female breast. According to the structure of the refrigerator compartment 100 provided with the opening / closing door 11, the internal storage unit 101 can be used up to the full depth, and small articles and small articles can be stored in the easy-to-use pocket storage unit 102 provided on the inner surface of the opening / closing door 10. Bottles can be stored. Further, the height H4 of the opening / closing door handle 11 and the form thereof allow a person to easily open and close in a standing posture.

Since the vegetable compartment 200 and the freezing compartment 300 are located at a position lower than the standard female elbow height of 970 mm, the drawer doors 20 and 30 movable in the front-rear direction are employed. According to this drawer door structure, the inside of the storage case can be seen from the position of the user's eyes.

In the vegetable room 200, the food in the storage case 201 in the state of being pulled out in the standing posture can be seen by the human eye to the back, so that it is possible to reduce the possibility that small vegetables are forgotten and damaged. In addition, since the height H2 from the floor surface F to the upper end of the drawer door 21 is within the reach of the standing posture, the user can operate the drawer door 21 through the drawer door handle 21 provided near the upper end of the drawer door 21. 21 can be easily opened and closed. Also, in this embodiment, the vegetable room 20
The depth U1 of the 0 storage case 201 is set to around 170 mm. The size of the storage case 201 secures a storage volume capable of storing a whole 1000 g (width 183 mm × height 140 mm × depth 188 mm) which is a standard cabbage. The standard cabbage size is based on the list of size surveys conducted by the Vegetable Stable Supply Fund issued by the Food Distribution Information Center. The storage case 201 in which the whole cabbage enters is placed on the storage case 20 from the floor F.
Since the height H5 to the bottom surface of the container 1 is set to about 570 mm, the storage space of the vegetable room 200 is provided within the operating range of the standing posture, so that food can be easily taken in and out.

Further, since the freezing room 300 is provided with the height H3 from the floor F to the upper end of the drawer door 31 within the operation range of the crouching posture, the drawer door handle 31 provided near the upper end of the drawer door 31 is provided. Can be opened and closed in a bent position. Further, in this embodiment, the freezing room 300 is constituted by the lower storage case 301 and the upper storage case 302, and the depth U2 to the storage bottom surface of the upper storage case 302 is 12
It is set to about 5 mm, and from the storage floor to the floor F
Height H6 is set to around 350mm,
The food stored in the upper storage case 302 can be taken in and out in a crouching posture. Therefore, the ice tray 350 and the frozen food which are frequently used are stored in the upper storage case 302.
If the long-term-preserved frozen food that is infrequently used is stored in the lower storage case 301, use of the crouching posture in the storage range can be reduced as much as possible. Furthermore, since the depth of the freezing compartment 300 is reduced, the rear of the storage cases 301 and 302 does not become a blind spot when viewed from the user's eyes (above), so that forgetting can be reduced.

As described above, the refrigerator 1 according to the present embodiment
According to this, while maintaining the upper limit height H1 of the refrigerator 1, the refrigerator compartment 100, the vegetable compartment 200, and the freezer compartment 300 are sequentially arranged from the top in the order of frequency of use, and each storage compartment is set up by the user. With a door structure suitable for a posture, a crouching posture, and a squatting posture, a refrigerator suitable for the frequency of use of the storage room and the operation posture of a user is provided by arranging the doors in an operation area most suitable for each posture.

Next, each storage room will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

First, the refrigerating room 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 based on FIGS. FIG. 9 shows the pocket storage unit 102.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Are constituted by an internal storage section 101, a pocket storage section 102, and a small pocket 105 provided on a partition wall 75.

The storage capacity of the pocket storage section 102 is set to be larger than that of a conventional personal refrigerator based on the strong demands of a single cooker, especially a single woman. According to the questionnaire survey, the standard (necessary) storage amount is 2
L, 2 pieces of 1.5L, 2 pieces of 1L paper pack, 3 pieces of 0.5L PET bottle and 0.5L can, 2 pieces of 0.35L can,
Four seasonings, four tubes, ten eggs, and other small items. The present inventors have studied various ideas of the pocket storage unit 102 capable of storing the standard storage amount on the inner wall surface of the opening / closing door 10 having the width W and the height h1 of the refrigerator 1. FIG. 9 summarizes the idea.

FIGS. 9A and 9B show the “double pocket plan”. The two “double pocket plans” are arranged at the lowermost part of the opening and closing door 10 and are tilted inward to store four large bottles such as plastic bottles, and a large inclined pocket 104a, and an upper part of the large inclined pocket 104a. Small bottle storage pocket 104b
And a thin pocket 104c for storing eggs and accessories arranged at the top. In addition, medium bottle storage pocket 1
04b can store seven bottles of dressings and seasonings. The difference between the drawings (a) and (b) is that the drawing (a) is provided with a medical pocket 104d capable of storing small bottles of medicines by utilizing the dead space inside and behind the large inclined pocket 104a. It is in the point.
According to these two plans, the standard storage amount can be stored,
Further, a space for accommodating small items is secured.

FIG. (C) shows the “uneven single plan”.
And a large pocket 10 that can hold an upright 2L bottle
4e, a middle bottle storage pocket 104b which is disposed above and below the large pocket 104e in a stepwise manner, and a thin pocket 104c. This "uneven single plan"
In this case, the depth of the internal storage unit 101 can be reduced to increase the storage capacity of the internal storage unit 101, but the standard storage amount cannot be stored. In this embodiment, for example, in another plan shown in FIG. 9, the depth dimension of the shelf 103 is 300 mm. However, in the "stepped single plan", the depth can be 350 mm. it can. However, three 0.5L cans and two 0.35 cans are smaller than the standard storage amount.

(D) and (e) show the “stadium plan”.
And a large pocket 10 that can hold an upright 2L bottle
4e, an upper full width thin pocket 104c, and a middle bottle storage pocket 104b attached to the front of the large pocket 104c. (D)
The difference between the figure and (e) is that the thin pocket 104
f is provided. According to the plan of (d), the standard storage amount can be exactly stored, and according to the plan of (e), a small item storage space can be secured in addition to the standard storage amount. According to the "stadium plan", a large bottle is stored in the back side and a medium bottle is stored in the front part, so that the amount of projecting from the opening and closing door 10 can be reduced.

FIG. (F) is a “stepped stadium plan”, in which a large pocket 104e capable of storing an upright 2L bottle and a middle bottle storage pocket 104b which is attached to the front of the large pocket 104c to the full width. A middle bottle storage pocket 104g with a depth and a thin pocket 104h with a depth, which are arranged stepwise on the left and right above the large pocket 104e. In this "stepped stadium plan", the projected area of the large pocket 104e and the middle bottle storage pocket 104b can be efficiently stored as the pocket storage section 102 for the large bottle and the middle bottle, and therefore, the largest storage amount in the plan of FIG. In addition to the standard storage amount, four medium bottles and small items can be stored.

In the present embodiment, the “double pocket plan” shown in FIG.
As is apparent from FIG. 5, according to the plan shown in FIG. 5A, since the standard storage amount is secured and the 2L PET bottle is arranged obliquely, both the 2L PET bottle and the middle bottle behind it are put in and taken out. Is easy. Further, the storage capacity is increased by arranging the medical pocket 104d using the dead space. Further, since the upper thin pocket 104c has a reduced depth, the impression of the large size when opening and closing the opening and closing door 10 is reduced, and the inside of the pocket below the opening is made easier to see.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the internal storage portion 101 of the refrigerator compartment 100 has two shelves 103

As a result, the ice making recess 351a at the center requires less water for making ice than the ice making recesses 351b on both sides.
The ice making speed of the ice making recess 351a and the ice making recess 351b can be made the same. Also, in order to obtain cool air from the ice storage box 340 disposed below the ice tray 350, a convex rib 353 is provided between the lower part of the ice tray 350 and the ice storage box 340 to open a gap. Thus, even when the ice tray 350 and the ice storage box 340 are stacked, cool air circulates through the gap formed through the convex rib 353 to the ice storage box 340, and
0 can be cooled. As a result, by cooling the ice stored in the ice storage box 340, it is possible to prevent the previously formed ice from sticking to each other and solidifying, and also to cool the lower part of the ice tray 350 by circulating cool air. The effect of solving the above-mentioned problem of the ice making recess 351 can be obtained.

The legs 344 are formed to protrude downward at four corners of the bottom surface. This leg 34
4 reduces movement in the storage case 302 as described later.

Regarding the size of the corrugated uneven portion 343, if the unevenness is too large, the ice storage capacity is reduced, and if the size is too small, the above effect cannot be expected. On the other hand, if the pitch P of the unevenness is too small, the above effect is reduced. Thus, in this embodiment, four pitches 343a having a smaller pitch P than the number of the pitches formed in the ice tray 350 in the longitudinal direction are formed. The uneven direction of the corrugated uneven portion 343 may be provided along the short direction of the ice storage box 340,
In this embodiment, the ice storage box 340 is formed along the longitudinal direction to improve the play of the stored ice and improve the storage efficiency, and to open and close the drawer door 30.
