These coolers 52, the fan 54, the lighting fixture, the wiring member, etc. constitute a functional product in the present invention. A defrosting heater may be provided as a functional product between the upper rear cover 60 and the rear wall 16.

The upper back cover 60 is provided with the upper fixed cover 65 and the upper movable cover 66 as shown to FIG. 1 and FIG. The upper fixing cover 65 is fixed to the rear wall 16 by a bolt or the like at the fixing portion 67. The fan 54 and the blower outlet 62 are provided in the upper fixing cover 65, and are fixed to the rear wall 16 of the main body 11 with the upper fixing cover 65. As shown in FIG. The upper movable cover 66 is detachably attached to the upper fixed cover 65.

That is, the upper movable cover 66 is attached inside the opening 68 formed by the upper fixed cover 65. The upper movable cover 66 has a protruding jaw portion 69 and is held in the upper fixed cover 65 by inserting the protruding jaw portion 69 into the upper fixed cover 65 forming the opening 68.

The projection jaw portion 69 is fixed to the upper fixing cover 65 by pushing the upper movable cover 66 from the front of the opening formed by the upper fixing cover 65, that is, from the side of the doors 31 and 32. As a result, the upper movable cover 66 is attached to the upper fixed cover 65. In addition, the upper movable cover 66 is made of resin and easily curled.

Therefore, by slightly bending the upper movable cover 66, the engagement between the protrusion jaw 69 and the upper fixed cover 65 is released.

Moisture included in the cold air circulating in the refrigerating chamber 21 is attached by condensation or frost when passing through the cooler 52. Water condensed or frosted in the cooler 52 is sublimed or melted, for example, by rotating the fan 54 while the supply of coolant to the cooler 52 is stopped, and is installed on the rear wall 16 of the refrigerating chamber 21. It is collected in the drain 72.

In addition, moisture contained in the cold air is attached to the refrigerating chamber 21 side of the upper fixing cover 65 near the cooler 52 due to condensation or frost. The upper fixing cover 65 has a trough portion 71 on the refrigerating chamber 21 side that faces the makeup cover 63. Water droplets attached to the upper fixing cover 65 drop along the upper fixing cover 65 by gravity, are collected in the trough portion 71, and discharged to the drain portion 72. The water collected in the drain 72 is led to the compressor 51 side via a guide passage (not shown).

In this way, the discharged water becomes water vapor by the heat of the compressor 51 and is discharged into the air. The boundary between the upper fixed cover 65 and the upper movable cover 66 is located below this trough portion 71. Therefore, the water condensed or melted on the upper fixing cover 65 is collected in the trough portion 71 until the boundary between the upper fixing cover 65 and the lower fixing cover 82 is reached.

As a result, even when the upper rear cover 60 is divided into the upper fixing cover 65 and the lower fixing cover 82, condensed or molten water is collected in the trough portion 71 and may leak from these boundaries. There is no. In addition, the upper movable cover 66 is located between the shelf board 44 and the shelf 45 on the rear wall 16 side of the refrigerating chamber 21.

The lower movable cover 83 has a protruding jaw portion 86, and the protruding jaw portion 86 is held in the lower fixed cover 82 by being fitted into the lower fixed cover 82 forming the opening 85.

The lower movable cover 83 is attached by being pushed into the lower fixed cover 82 in the same manner as the upper movable cover 66 described above, and separated by slightly bending. Therefore, the lower movable cover 83 can be easily attached to and detached from the lower fixed cover 82 without using a special tool or the like.

The deodorizing device 84 generates ozone by applying a high voltage between the electrodes to deodorize the sucked air. The temperature sensor 87 is provided in the vicinity of the deodorizing device 84. The temperature sensor 87 detects the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 21. The temperature sensor 87 also constitutes a functional product.

The deodorizing device 84 is applied with a high voltage as described above. Therefore, by covering the deodorizing device 84 with the lower fixing cover 82, the user's hand is prevented from contacting the deodorizing device 84. The temperature sensor 87 is provided near the opening 85 of the lower fixing cover 82. Since the temperature sensor 87 operates at a low voltage, there is no fear that safety will be lowered even if it is installed near the opening 85 of the lower fixing cover 82.
