Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a type of refrigerator in which an air passage for circulating cold air in the freezer compartment is formed by arranging a partition plate along the back of the inner box.
When it becomes necessary to remove the partition plate during service such as replacing cooling parts such as an evaporator, this work is made easier, and an ice-making corner is formed so that the part fixed with screws etc. can be removed without having to remove it. The purpose is to make the task easier.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator body, which is composed of an inner box 2, an outer box 3, and a heat insulating material 4 filled between them.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a dividing wall that divides the inside of the refrigerator into an upper freezer compartment 6 and a lower refrigerator compartment 7, and is composed of a bottom plate 5a of the freezer compartment and a top plate 5b of the refrigerator compartment. It stores fan 9 etc. Reference numeral 10 denotes an ice-making corner formed in a corner of the freezer compartment 6, which includes a thermostat case 11 storing a thermostat (not shown) in front thereof, an ice-making shelf 12 on which an ice-making tray is placed, and a removable compartment. It consists of a plate 13. The thermostat case 11 is equipped with a ventilation grill 11a and a ventilation opening 11b, and is attached to the side wall 2 of the inner box 2 with screws 14.
A locking piece 11c is formed which is fixed to the partition plate 13a and engages with the locking portion 13a of the partition plate 13. 15,1
Reference numeral 6 denotes a first partition plate and a second partition plate which are arranged on the rear wall 2b of the inner box 2 with a gap therebetween, and form an air passage 17. The first and second partition plates 15 and 16 are the overlapping portion 1
8, the first partition plate 15 is set to the width dimension of the ice-making corner 10, and the second partition plate 1
6 is set to a size that covers other parts. 1
5a is the ventilation port 11b of the thermostat case 11
The first partition plate 15 is held in its predetermined position by the engagement of both 11b and 15a.

On the other hand, the second partition plate 16 has a locking hole 16a at the upper end.
is engaged with a protrusion 2c formed integrally with the inner box 2, and its lower end is engaged with and held by a locking protrusion 5b located on the front surface of a screw 19 that fixes the bottom plate 5a of the freezer compartment. Further, a flange 13b formed integrally with the rear end of the partition plate 13 is disposed on the front surface of the overlapping portion 18 of the partition plates 15 and 16.

In such a configuration, when it becomes necessary to replace the blower fan 9, etc., the partition plate 13 constituting the ice making corner 10 is moved between each engaging portion 13a and each locking piece 11.
Then, the second partition plate 16 is released from the engagement between the protrusion 2c and the locking hole 16a through the elasticity of the inner box 2, and the second partition plate 16 is removed from the lower locking protrusion 5b. 2 Remove the partition plate 16. Then, the screws 19 fixing the freezer compartment bottom plate 5a are exposed, so the screws 19 are removed, the freezer compartment bottom plate 5a is pulled out, and the blower fan 9 is replaced. Further, the flange 13b of the partition plate 13 is connected to the first and second partition plates 1.
Since the front surface of the overlapping part 18 of the inner box 2 is covered, even if there is a large play in supporting the second partition plate 16 due to variations in the shape of the protrusion 2c, vertical dimensions, etc. due to variations in the molding of the inner box 2, the flange 13b can prevent rattling and the like.

As mentioned above, the present invention has an ice-making corner on one side of the freezer compartment, and a first corner divided into two parts inside the inner box.
A second partition plate forms an air passage, and the ice making corner includes a thermostat case fixed to the inner box and a partition plate having a flange at the other end, and the flange is connected to the first and second partition plates. The dividing plate is removably engaged with the thermostat case so as to be disposed in front of the overlapping part of the first and second partition plates, and the flange of the dividing plate is disposed in the overlapping part of the first and second partition plates. Because the second partition plate is located in the
There is no need to worry about the partition plate falling off.

In addition, by removing the partition plate from the thermostat case, only the second partition plate can be taken out by disengaging it from the inner box and the bottom plate of the freezer compartment. Cooling parts such as containers can be easily replaced.
