Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which electrical transmission items and their connections are stored in the upper back of the refrigerator.

Configuration of conventional example and its problems As shown in Fig. 1, conventional
In those equipped with an electrical component box c, the upper flange e of the electrical component box lid d is brought into contact with the rear flange portion f of the outer wall of the refrigerator, or is overlapped with the top surface h of the refrigerator outer box to minimize the gap. . However, if water i etc. is splashed on the top surface h of the outer box, the flange portion f
There is a problem that water, etc. can enter through the small gap 1 between the upper flange e of the electrical component box lid d and splash onto the electrical components j stored inside the electrical component box c. , if it is superimposed on the top surface h of the outer box, it will wrap around the heat dissipation pipe k, resulting in drawbacks such as reduced heat dissipation effect.

Purpose of the invention The present invention aims to eliminate these conventional drawbacks.The purpose of this invention is to form a drainage channel inside the electrical component box and guide water that has entered the box to the back without splashing on the electrical components. do.

Composition of the Invention The refrigerator of the present invention has an electrical equipment storage part integrally molded on the outer shell decorative panel at the upper part of the back of the refrigerator, and an L-shaped claw part for locking the electrical equipment box lid is formed in this storage part. The bottom of the claw part is used as a drainage gutter, and the electrical component box lid is equipped with a drainage port and a drainage guide path connected to the drainage gutter, which locks the electrical component box lid and drains water etc. to the electrical components. It was made so that it would not appear.

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

Reference numeral 1 denotes the outer box of the refrigerator, 1a denotes a flange portion of the outer box at the rear, and 2 denotes a heat dissipation pipe. Reference numeral 3 denotes an outer box decorative plate at the upper rear of the refrigerator, which integrally forms an electrical equipment storage box 3a. This outer box decorative plate 3 is engaged with the outer box rear flange 1a by a locking groove 3b, and with the flange portion 4a of the outer box rear outer wall 4 by an engagement piece 3c. In this state, foam insulation 6 is filled into the space between the outer box 1 and the inner box 5, and the outer box decorative plate 3 is fixed. A claw portion 7 having an L-shaped cross section is formed on the upper part of the electrical equipment storage box 3a which is integrally formed with the decorative plate 3. The bottom of this claw portion 7 forms a drainage gutter 8 across the entire width of the electrical equipment storage box, and is inclined downward in the left-right direction from the center position P of the refrigerator. Reference numeral 9 denotes an electrical equipment box cover, which is provided with a drainage guide path 1 inclined toward the rear at the end of the entire width of the electrical equipment storage box 3a.
0 and connected to a drain outlet 11. An electric component 12 is fixed by a pair of boss-shaped claws 13 formed integrally with the electric component box lid 9.

This electrical equipment box lid 9 is attached to the exterior decorative board 3 by a hook part 14 received at the upper end that engages with the L-shaped claw part 7, and a fitting piece 15 formed at the lower end.

In the above embodiment, the refrigerator main body outer box top surface 1b
Water, etc. 15 that has flowed in from the gap H between the and the electrical equipment box lid 9
The water passes through the drainage gutter 8, is guided to the drainage guide path 10, and flows out to the drainage port 11. Therefore, the electrical components 12 fixed in the electrical component box 3a will not be exposed to water or the like 15. Furthermore, the electrical component box lid 9 can be fixed without wrapping the upper surface of the heat radiation pipe 2, and the heat radiation effect will not be reduced.

Effects of the invention As described above, the present invention uses the bottom of the L-shaped claw formed on the electrical equipment storage box as a drain, and the electrical equipment is equipped with a guide drainage channel and a drain port connected to the claw. By locking the box lid using the claws, the electrical components will not get wet with water, etc., and the bottom of the claws for attaching the electrical component box lid is configured as a drainage channel, ensuring a waterway. It has the advantage of being able to be made more compact.
