Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a so-called chest-type freezer in which items are taken in and taken out from above, and in particular, a placing part is formed in the inner box near the upper opening, and the cooling pipe arranged in that part is tightly sealed. The object of this invention is to increase the cooling effect by placing an ice-making container on the placing section, and to store articles and make ice at the same time.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 is a so-called chest-type freezer that opens upward, and a storage chamber 5 is formed by filling a gap between an outer box 2 and an inner box 3 with a heat insulating material 4 that is foamed on-site. 6 is an electric compressor 7 included in the refrigeration cycle
This is a ceiling board that partitions the heat insulating material 4 from the machine room 8 that houses the equipment. Reference numeral 9 denotes a door for closing the upper opening of the freezer 1, and one end thereof is rotatably supported by a hinge or the like on the opening edge of the freezer 1, and 10 is a gasket.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a cooling pipe included in a cooling cycle (not shown), which is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the side wall of the inner box 3 in a thermally conductive manner, and the inside of the storage chamber 5 is cooled by this cooling pipe 11.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a mounting portion formed along the side wall near the top opening of the inner box 3. In this embodiment, the inner box 3 is formed into a stepped shape, and a mounting surface is provided on two adjacent sides as shown in FIG. 13 and a locking protrusion 14 is formed on the inner side thereof to prevent objects placed from falling. Reference numeral 15 denotes an ice making container in which a large number of compartments 15a are formed to make ice cubes.
It is formed so that it can be removably placed on 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is formed into an L-shape as shown in FIG. 2, but it may be divided into various shapes as long as it is large enough to be placed on the placement surface 13.

Now, the refrigerant pipe 1 on the outer periphery of the inner box 3 near the mounting part 12
1a is arranged closely, ie this part will be cooled more strongly than the other parts of the storage chamber 5. Therefore, when the ice making container 15 is attached to the mounting portion 12, the water in the ice making container 15 is quickly frozen and ice making can be performed satisfactorily.

Although the mounting portions 12 are formed on two adjacent sides of the inner box 3 in the embodiment, they may be provided on any one side or around the entire circumference. In that case, ice container 1
5 may be formed so as to be appropriately divided and placed.
Furthermore, if the inner box 3 and the ice making container 15 are made of resin, the ice making container 15 and the inner box 3 can be separated easily. Furthermore, for example, at least the opposing 2 of the inner box 3
When forming the placing part 12 on the side, the locking protrusion 14 is
If this is not the case, if a stepped portion 16 or the like is formed at the same height as the locking protrusion 14 on the opposite side, a container such as a basket 17 can be placed above the storage chamber 5 as shown in the figure.

Further, in this embodiment, the inner box 3 is formed into a stepped shape to form the mounting portion 12, but ribs may be made to protrude from the inner box 3 to form the mounting surface. Various changes can be made without departing from the above.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the mounting surface 13 of the mounting section 12 is formed to be inclined downward toward the outside of the freezer 1. With such a structure, even if the locking protrusion 14 is not provided, there is no fear that the ice making container 15 will fall even if the freezer 1 vibrates to some extent.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and the placing part is formed along the inner wall near the upper opening of the freezer, which opens upward, and ice is made there, so that the storage capacity of the freezer is not significantly reduced. Ice can be made, and the ice making container can be easily stored and taken out without being obstructed by other stored items. or,
The cooling pipes near the placing part are arranged closely, so that ice making can be carried out efficiently, and the placing part has a structure that prevents the ice making container from falling, so the ice making container will not fall downward due to vibrations of the freezer during ice making. There is no fear of it falling into the storage room, and it has great practical effects.
