Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is an improvement of a forced draft refrigerator that is equipped with a deflector for blocking cold air that bypasses the cooler and forcibly circulates the cold air cooled by the cooler with a blower. A thermostat that detects the cooler temperature;
The temperature fuse element and the like are housed in the deflector to reduce the number of parts and manufacturing costs, and one of the purposes is to prevent malfunction of the element.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator main body, the interior of which is divided by a dividing wall 4 such that a freezer compartment 2 is formed in the upper part and a refrigerator 3 is formed in the lower part.

5 is divided by the dividing wall 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a cooler storage chamber provided within the partition wall 4, which is formed into a box shape and includes side walls 6, a bottom wall 7, a top cover 8, a front wall 9, a rear wall (not shown), and the like.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a cold air suction hole through which air inside the refrigerator is sucked by a blower (not shown) and discharged through a discharge hole (not shown) in the rear wall.

11 is a cooler having fins 13 between side plates 12 on both sides, 14 is a refrigerant pipe, and 15 is a U-bend that interconnects the refrigerant pipes.

A deflector 16 prevents air from bypassing between the side plate 12 and the side wall 6, and is made of synthetic resin and is composed of a plurality of substantially orthogonal wall surfaces as shown in FIG.

In other words, the element housing section 17, which will be described later. Cord clamp 1
9. Locking piece 20. The front protruding piece 21 is integrally molded.

17 houses an element 18 such as a temperature fuse, and a cooler 11
This is an element storage section for detecting the temperature of the device, and the side plate 12 side is open.

19 is the cord clamp part of the element, 20 is the deflector 1
6 is a locking piece to prevent it from floating upward during assembly, and is hooked on the lower surface of the U-bend 15 of the cooler 11.

Further, 21 is a front protruding piece that comes into contact with the front wall 9;
The rear piece 17' contacts the U-bend 15 to determine the position in the front-rear direction.

In the above configuration, the element 18 is housed in the deflector 16.
Since this is carried out by using a clamp for mounting the element 18, screws, etc. are not required, the number of parts can be reduced and production can be made at low cost.

Furthermore, since the storage portion 17 is open on the side plate 11 side of the cooler 11, the temperature of the cooler can be detected reliably.

Also, since there is no direct contact with cold air, there is less detection error.

Furthermore, by engaging the locking piece 20 with the U-bend 15, movement of the deflector 16 during assembly can be prevented, and work efficiency can be improved.

As is clear from the above embodiments, the forced draft refrigerator of the present invention is provided with a cooler and a blower that forcibly circulates the cold air cooled by the cooler inside the refrigerator body. A deflector for preventing bypass is provided between the wall of the storage chamber in which the container is stored and the side plate of the cooler,
Furthermore, the deflector is provided with an element housing part such as a thermostat that opens on the side plate side, and a locking part that engages with the U-bend of the cooler, so that elements such as a thermostat can be separated from each other as in the past. Since the deflector is used to install the deflector, the number of parts can be reduced, and since the deflector engages with the U-bend of the cooler with a locking piece, the deflector does not move during or after assembly. This has various advantages, such as the ability to fix the deflector itself.
