Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a refrigerator box body, and in particular, the refrigerator body is divided into a plurality of storage compartments.

This relates to the structure of the partition wall.

Conventionally, in this type of refrigerator, partition walls were installed at predetermined positions to divide the interior into multiple storage compartments, but the inner box that formed the inner wall of the refrigerator body was formed using a plastic sheet using a vacuum forming method in advance. Then, this inner box is fitted to the outer box, a foam insulation material such as polyurethane foam is injected into the space between the inner box and the outer box to form a thin box body, and then the partition wall member is inserted into the front opening. The method used was to insert it from the side.

As described above, in the case of a structure in which the partition wall member is inserted into the inner box later, the width dimension of the partition wall member is narrower than the inner dimension of the front opening of the outer box even at the maximum.

For this reason, a gap is created between the outer box flange portion 4 and the end face of the partition wall member 3, and this gap is not only very noticeable in appearance, but also easily becomes unclean due to water and juice from the stored food flowing in. There was a problem.

Countermeasures were taken by filling this gap with silicone, etc., but
The appearance was poor and the workability was also poor.

The present invention has been devised for the purpose of eliminating such drawbacks, and the illustrated embodiments will be described in detail below.

In Figures 3 and 4, 1 is an outer box, 2 is an inner box, and 3 is a partition wall member that is molded by injection molding or the like and incorporates a heat insulating material inside.The width dimension of the front side of this partition wall member is the outer box. It is formed wider than the inner dimension of the front opening.

When the inner box 2 is molded from a plastic sheet using a vacuum forming method, this partition wall member is set in advance in a vacuum mold, and is molded integrally with the inner box sheet.

After this inner box 2 is fitted to the outer box 1, the space formed between the two boxes is filled with a foamed heat insulating material such as polyurethane foam to form the box body of the refrigerator.

Therefore, since the front width of the partition wall member 3 is made wider than the inner dimension of the front opening of the outer box, both front ends of the partition wall member 3 overlap with the outer box flange, so that the partition wall member does not protrude to the front. do not have.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the end of the partition wall member is locked to the outer box flange together with the inner box flange,
It is possible to provide a refrigerator which has an excellent design since there is no fear of the refrigerator protruding forward and there is no gap between the refrigerator and the partition wall member.
