Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Refrigerators have recently become available in a wide variety of sizes, from small to large, and for general household use, there is a gradual shift towards larger sizes, but as refrigerators become larger, it has become difficult to connect and install them. It's coming.

In particular, considering the current structure of Japanese houses, these problems will become more and more serious as the demand for large refrigerators increases.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned matters, and is an improvement of the so-called separate type refrigerator in which the insulating boxes forming the refrigerator body are appropriately separated and transported separately, and installation is sometimes done by combining multiple insulating boxes. It's about structure.

A detailed explanation will be given below using an example shown in the drawings.

1゜2 is an insulating box with opening/closing doors 3 and 4 pivoted to open and close automatically on the front, and one of the insulating boxes (1 is shown here).
is equipped with a refrigeration cycle unit (rotation is not shown) such as a cooler, compressor, condenser, etc., and the other insulated box (here shown as 2) is not equipped with a refrigeration cycle unit. The heat insulating boxes 1 and 2 are each individually installed in series, and sometimes they are installed side by side vertically or horizontally.

When these insulating boxes 1 and 2 are integrally connected, each insulating box 1,
The inside of 2 is an outgoing duct and a return duct (the rotation is also not shown)
Cold air from an insulating box 1 that is connected via VC and equipped with a refrigeration cycle unit is forcedly circulated into another insulating box 2.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a connecting part for integrally joining the above-mentioned insulating boxes 1 and 2, and in the above embodiment, it is fixed to the upper back surface of the insulating box 1, and the other insulating box 2 is attached to its upper end. An engaging protrusion 8 that is engaged with a recess T of a receiver 6 fixed to the lower part of the back surface
A cover 9 for covering the joint between the recess 1 and the engaging protrusion 8 is rotatably provided at the lower end.

The coupling part 5 is integrally molded with the cover 9 from a synthetic resin material, and one end of the cover 9 is provided with an engaging pawl 11 that can be engaged with and disengaged from the recess 10 formed at the upper end of the receiver 6. have.

Reference numerals 12 and 13 are lead wires from electrical components led out from the back surfaces of the heat insulating boxes 1 and 2, and are connected by a connector 14 so as to be detachable.

Reference numerals 15 and 16 indicate fixing screws, and 11 indicates a space formed by the cover 9.

Here, the assembly operation of the refrigerator of the present invention will be explained.

In assembling the refrigerator, another heat-insulating box 2 is placed on top of the heat-insulating box 1, and the engaging protrusion 8 of the connecting part 5 is fitted into the recess γ of the receiver 6.

Therefore, the lead wires 12, 1 led out from the insulation boxes 1, 2
3 is connected by a connector 14, and its engaging claw 11 is engaged with the recess 10 of the receiver 6 of the heat insulating box 2 so as to cover the cover 9 from above.

By doing this, it is possible not only to integrally connect the plurality of heat-insulating boxes 1 and 2, but also to hide the joints of the joint parts 5 and the lead wire connections, which are unsightly in appearance, with the cover 9. .

As described above, in this invention, the mechanical connection part and the electrical connection part are made at the same place, so the installation of the refrigerator body is not only easy to assemble, but also makes it easier to connect the electrical wiring. There is no need to forget anything, and since the electrical connections are covered with a cover, water does not get on the electrical connections, making them safe.Also, since no mechanical or electrical connections are visible from the outside, the appearance is good. It can bring about many effects such as extremely good performance.
