Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improved configuration of a refrigerator, and in particular simplifies the configuration and improves the accuracy of the temperature sensing device.

Conventionally, in this type of refrigerator, a stop plate 4 is attached to the cooler 3 to support the temperature sensing part 2 of the temperature regulator 1 that controls the cooling operation in contact with the cooler 3, as shown in FIG. It was done by

Therefore, the capillary tube 5 leading to the temperature sensing part 2 due to the temperature regulator 1 becomes long and expensive, and is susceptible to breakage accidents and temperature changes during the process, which may impede accurate temperature control. .

Furthermore, the work of attaching the support member 6 to the cooler 3, and the work of attaching the support member 6 to the cooler 3, and
The installation work was complicated because there were many work locations and the work positions were far apart from each other.

This proposal was developed in view of this point, and FIGS. 2 to 4 will be explained below.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a refrigerator body composed of an outer box 12, an inner box 13, and a heat insulating material 14 filled with foam between the two boxes 12 and 13,
A cooler 16 for cooling the inside of the storage chamber 15 is disposed at the upper part of the storage chamber 15 formed by the inner box 13 and the like.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a support member for mounting the temperature regulator 18, which is covered in front of the space between one side 16A of the cooler 16 and one side wall 13A of the inner box 13, and includes a front side 17A and a support member 17 behind the front side 17A. It is provided with a locking side 17B extending from one side of the cooler 16 to the other side 16A of the cooler 16 with a small distance therebetween.

The locking side 17B integrally connects the screw post 19 to the cooler 16.
A screw 20 is provided on one side 16A of the cooler 16.
At the same time, one or more locking pieces 31 are formed so as to protrude toward the negative side 16A.

Temperature regulator 1 disposed outward from the locking side 17B
The capillary tube 22 extending backwards is bent from the rear near the support member 17, and the sensing portion 23, which is the tip thereof, is inserted between the cooler 16 and the locking side 17B, and cooled by the retaining piece 21. It is in direct or indirect pressure contact with the container 16 for temperature detection.

Reference numeral 24 represents an operating child of the temperature regulator 18, and reference numeral 25 represents a cover made of synthetic resin that covers the capillary tube 22 as required.

The sensing portion 23 can be pressed against the cooler 16 by the retaining piece 21 at the same time as the support member 17 is fastened to the cooler 16 with the screws 20.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the capillary tube can be made shorter than the conventional one, the support member can also serve as a support for the temperature sensing part, there is no need for a stop plate, and the temperature sensing part support position can be changed. It is located close to the temperature regulator, which improves work efficiency, and it can also be prepared by pre-assembled to the support member, promoting division of labor.

Further, the temperature sensing portion is also covered from the front by the front side of the support member and cannot be seen outwardly, improving the design effect.
