Embodiment 3 Embodiments for carrying out the invention Hereinafter, the embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the conventional examples or the previously described embodiments, and the same reference numerals are omitted. Its detailed description. Further, the present invention is not limited by the implementation type. (Embodiment 1) Fig. 1 is a front view of a refrigerator according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1 201013138, the refrigerator 51 has a refrigerator that opens a two-door door from the center to the left and right, and includes a storage compartment that is divided into a plurality in the heat insulating box 52. Specifically, the storage compartment includes, in the upper portion, a refrigerating compartment 53, an ice making compartment M, and a switching compartment 55 which is provided in parallel with the ice making compartment and which can change the indoor temperature, and a fruit and vegetable compartment and a freezing compartment 57. A heat insulating door which is foamed and filled with a foamed heat insulating material such as urethane is provided in the opening of each storage compartment. Specifically, the refrigerating compartment 53 is provided with a left door 6〇a and a right door 6〇b which open and close the opening of the heat insulating box 52. Further, the ice making chamber 54, the switching chamber 55, the vegetable and fruit chamber 56, and the freezing chamber 57 are provided with a drawer type door 61, a door 62, a door 63, and a door 64, respectively. Among the storage rooms, the storage rooms other than the refrigerating compartment 53 are drawer type storage rooms. Further, as shown in Fig. 1, the heat insulating box body 52 is composed of a heat insulating wall, and the heat insulating wall foaming heat insulating material 72 is filled in an inner box 70 which is vacuum-formed from a resin body such as ABS, and a pre-plated steel sheet is used. The space formed by the box 71 other than the metal material. The fruit and vegetable compartment 56 and the freezer compartment 57 are provided with a cooler (not shown) and a fan (not shown) on the rear side. The cooler is driven by a compressor (not shown) provided in the lower portion of the main body of the refrigerator 51, and the air (cold air) cooled by the cooler is sent to each storage compartment. Further, it can be controlled to a predetermined temperature by cooling in each storage compartment. Further, the door trim 80 is provided at the end of the right door 60b on the side opposite to the rotation axis of the right door 60b. An operation unit 1A is mounted on the inner side of the door trim 80, and its mounting position is a height position of a general user's eye height range. The operation unit 10 is a unit for the user to set the operation of the refrigerator 51, and the four rectangular operation buttons 11 are vertically arranged. 4 201013138 #作门11 is a button for different purposes. For example, the four operations are set to the temperature of the cold room 57, the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 53, the temperature setting of the ice making chamber 54, the cold, and the rapid setting of the east chamber 57. The beginning of cold Ling corresponds. By using 4 buttons, you can adjust the fineness/division of each compartment of the storage room. That is, it is possible to operate each of the mosquito storage rooms. Further, the operation unit 10 includes a display unit 3A disposed adjacent to the uppermost Φ operation button 11 among the four operation buttons 11. In this way, the display unit is configured; it is higher than the operation button 11. Therefore, when the user operates the operation button, the '', and the 邛 邛 are not easily covered by the hand, and the display unit 3 〇 is adjacent to the lowermost operation button 11 of the four operation buttons η. In comparison, the identification can be enhanced. The display unit 30 is a device that displays information on the operation of the refrigerator 51. Specifically, the display unit 30 allows the user to know the information about the operation of the refrigerator 51, i.e., set the temperature and the like. For example, when the user presses the operation button 11 set by the temperature of the refrigerator compartment 53, the temperature level of the refrigerator compartment 53 is set to any of "strong", "medium", and weak. Further, the setting level is displayed on the display unit 3〇 and is made available to the user. Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the outline of the configuration of the operation unit of the embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, the operation unit 10 has four operations, and the display unit 30 is attached to the substrate 15. The display unit 30 is configured by the plurality of LEDs 32 and the LED cover 31. The cover 31 has a light-transmissive property. The user can know the set temperature of the 201013138 according to the number and color of the LEDs 32 to be lit, and install the door of the operation unit 1G. The decorative panel (10) is provided with an elongated opening, that is, an elongated opening 80a. That is, the vertically long opening 8〇a is an elongated opening through which the right door _ the front surface is worn. The four operation buttons 11 and the 1 cover 31 are longitudinally arranged in this manner to vertically open the a8Ga, so that the operation unit 10 pays for the decorative panel 80. Further, in particular, there is a gap between the operation button u and the adjacent operation button η. That is, in the present embodiment, the operation is not arranged in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal opening 80a, but is arranged in series. There is also a gap between the cover 31 and the adjacent operation button 11 as well. The four operation buttons 4 are composed of the front member 12, the double-sided tape 13, and the holder 14. Further, regarding the description of one operation button 11 described below, all four operations are applicable to (four) unless otherwise stated. The front member 12 is formed as a decorative member that operates in front of the red 11, and the example t' is printed with a member that displays the function of the operation (4) (for example, "cold; east f"). The double-sided tape 13 is used to connect the holding body 14 to the front member 12. That is, the front member 12 is held detachable by breaking. The constructing operation threat 11 is based on the potential energy = material square _ slit disposed on the substrate 15.侃 赖 赖 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , The operation button 11 of the member, the closing, the sheet, and the structuring unit 10 is in the "post" state, and is referred to as the side of the substrate 15 by the operation (4) toward the side of the substrate 15 201013138. That is, the direction in which the button is pressed by the user is pressed, and the case of "front" is the reverse direction. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view showing the outline of the cross-sectional configuration of the operation unit of the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, the button support portion 16 including the above-described potential energy body 2A is disposed on the rear side of the operation button u. When the user presses the operation button U, the operation button 丨丨 moves rearward against the imparting ability of the potential energy body 20, and presses the electronic circuit substrate 19 located on the rear side of the biasing force body 2G. The contact of the switch 17. Thereby, a predetermined operation setting function corresponding to the operation button 11 can be exerted. Further, in this state, when the user leaves the operation button u, that is, when the operation is released from the purely pressed state, the user returns to the initial position by imparting the potential ability of the potential energy body 20. The waterproof sheet 18 is disposed between the button support portion 16 and the electronic circuit board 19 to prevent moisture from entering the electronic circuit board 19 from the front surface side of the operation unit 10. 1 φ As described above, the refrigerator 51 of the present embodiment includes four rectangular operation buttons 11. Specifically, the four operation buttons 11 are provided as a part of the operation unit 10 for setting the operation of the refrigerator 51, and are vertically disposed in the vertical opening 80a of the door trim panel 80. In this way, by arranging four rectangular operation buttons u in succession, the operation single S1G2 can be simplified as a whole, and the area of the front surface of each operation u can be made large. That is, the operation of the four rectangles is constructed in a purely simple configuration: the simplification of the operation unit 1〇 can be achieved. This state is advantageous from the viewpoint of protecting the operating unit from the moisture caused by condensation. 11 201013138 In addition, according to the operation, the area of the red n is a large area, and for the user, each operation is a button that is easy to press. Further, when each of the front members 12 is described as a character or a symbol of a display function, a character or a symbol of a large size can be described, and the content can be found to have high convenience. Further, since the gap between the adjacent operation buttons 11 is extremely narrow, dust, water droplets, and the like are hardly invaded by the operation buttons u. Further, the operation of the display 30 adjacent to the uppermost portion is arranged in accordance with the singularity. Therefore, the user presses the middle-operation button _, and the display content of the display portion 30 can be confirmed in the same field of view. That is, it is also known that the content is high in convenience. Moreover, the front member of the front face of Zhao 11 is formed to be double-sided tape! 3 detachably attached to the holding body 14, therefore, it is easy to replace the front member 12, the front center 2, the user repeatedly contacting the member, and it is conceivable that the surface of the surface is stained and the printing of the surface disappears due to wear. . Based on the design reasons, it is also conceivable that the color of the front structure will be changed. In this case, the user can easily perform the above-described member 12 change. Here, as in the operation unit 10 of the present embodiment, in the case where the operation buttons of the plurality of rectangles are successively arranged, the adjacent operations are narrowed by the training. Further, in order to simplify the operation unit 10, the distance between the side of the operation button u and the side wall formed on the side of the base member is also desirably set as short as possible without affecting the movement of the operation button 11 in the front-rear direction. Thus, the - _ button U forms up, down, left, and right to the other members, 12 201013138 and is rectangular. Therefore, when the operation button 11 is pressed and when the button is released from the initial position, the member adjacent to the end side in the left-right direction of the operation button 11 is highly likely to come into contact with each other in a straight line. That is, it is conceivable that the member adjacent to the operation button 11 is likely to be stuck. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a number of countermeasures so that when the operation button is moved in the front-rear direction, it is not caught by the surrounding member, and when the user presses and releases the operation button ^, if the operation is pressed by φ 3411, it is not inclined, and one side can be phased. When the substrate 15 is moved in the front-rear direction while maintaining parallelism, the problem of being stuck is not caused. However, the movement of the operation button 11 in the front-rear direction must of course be smooth, and the operation unit 10 must have a simple configuration from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost or ease of assembly of the operation unit 10. - 1 for example, for setting the movement of the operation button 11 in the front and rear directions

In the case of a guide that maintains a completely parallel movement from the beginning to the end, if it is a reference, it cannot be said to be a simple configuration of the 10 series that is realistic, and the smoothing unit 10 of the movement is particularly operated. Therefore, the present embodiment The operation unit 10 is formed in a front-rear direction by an operation button 11 which can ensure a rectangular shape. The configuration of the periphery of the operation button 11 will be described below using Figs. 4 to 9 .

The front surface of the holding body 14 (the surface on the fourth front side) is attached with the fourth embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention. The front body 4 includes a pair of first engaging bodies. a. 13 201013138 When the front member 12 is disposed, the first engaging body 14a is located at a position covered by the front member. Thus, the first engaging member 14 is disposed on the first engaging body 14a and the second engaging member 14a. In the state in which the two engaging bodies are engaged, the left and right positions when the operation button 11 is pressed are restricted. That is, the normal left and right positions are stopped. Fig. 5 is a view showing the first engaging member of the embodiment 1 of the present invention. And a cross-sectional schematic view of the shape and positional relationship of the second engaging member. Further, the fifth figure shows that the operation button 11 is in an unpressed state, that is, in the state of the initial position, the operation button 11 is configured. In the state of being supported by the convex portion 21 of the center of the potential energy body 20, it is located at the initial position. As shown in Fig. 5, the pair of second engaging bodies 15a are in contact with the upper end surface of the holding body 14, that is, The two-card body 15a restricts the operation direction of the button (the front side in Fig. 5) The member at the position of the surface, that is, the second engaging body 15a disposed corresponding to each operation, can prevent each operation from coming into contact with a member such as the operation button n on the upper side of the scent. The second engaging body 15a further has a function for restricting the position in the left-right direction when the button 11 is operated by y. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 5, the pair of the first engaging body 1 has the first one on the inner side. Engagement surface 14b. Further, the second engagement body 15a has a second engagement surface 15b on the outer side at an angle corresponding to the inclined surface of the engagement member. Further, between the two first engagement surfaces 14b The distance is wider toward the rear, and the distance between the two second engaging faces 15b is narrower toward the front. In the second, the operation button 11 is at the initial position, and the first engaging surface 14b is engaged with the second. The face 15b is in a separated state, that is, the state in which the operation is brought into the initial position. 14 201013138 When the user presses the operation button η in this state, the pair of the first member 14a and the pair of the second engaging member 15a are stuck. In this way, the operation button quot" is restricted to the position in the left and right direction. Fig. 6A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the engagement state of the first engaging member and the second engaging member of the embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 6B is a view showing the first engagement of the first embodiment of the present invention. An enlarged perspective view of the engaged state of the member and the second engaging member. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the operation button u is pressed and moved rearward, 'finally, the two first engaging faces 14b and The two second engaging faces 15b are in contact with each other. That is, the pair of first engaging members 14a are engaged with the pair of second engaging members 15&; whereby the left-right direction of the operating button 11 is restricted to the regular position. Specifically, the position of the left and right direction of the operation button 11 is limited to the approximate center of the left and right side walls 15c of the operation button 11 (including the entire center, the same applies hereinafter). That is, the position in the left-right direction of the operation button 11 is restricted such that the center line of the left-right direction of the operation button 11 coincides with or substantially coincides with the center line between the left and right side walls 15c. Thereafter, when the operation button is released by the press, it is returned to the initial position by the imparting ability of the potential energy body 20. Here, as shown in Fig. 6A, when the left-right position at which the return is started is substantially the center between the left and right side walls 15e, there is a high possibility that the left-right position moves forward until the initial position is stopped. That is, it can be said that the operation button 丨丨 is not easily caught by the left side or right side wall 15c. In this manner, the operation button n of the present embodiment is engaged with the first engagement member 14a by the one of the second engagement member 15a and the operation button 15 201013138. By eJ, the left and right sides when pressed

The position of the JfU direction is further such that the first engaging member 14a and the second engaging member (5) have only mutually corresponding angles_bevels, which are simple structures and do not hinder the smooth movement of the operating button 11 in the front and rear directions. . Further, as described above, the operation button u has the guide member W on the right and left, and the operation button_clamp can be prevented depending on the guide member 14e. The figure shows the guide member and the side wall of the embodiment 1 of the present invention.

, front view of the positional relationship. Fig. 7 is a side view showing an outline of the guide groove of the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the state in which the operation button of the embodiment 1 of the present invention is returned to the initial position. < As shown in Figs. 7 to 7C, the guide member Mc is held so as to be movable in the front-rear direction by the guide groove (5) which is placed on the side wall 15c. In addition, 15d limits the position of the lower button on the upper button of the operation button u. Further, the guide member 14c extends in the rearward direction, and the rotation in the left-right direction is restricted by the guide groove 15d.

As shown in Fig. 4, such a guide member 14c is disposed one above the left end and the right end of the holding body 14, respectively. By the four guide members 14c, the rotation of the left and right directions of the operation button 11 can be restricted. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the operation button 11 from being tilted and being caught by other members such as the up and down operation buttons when the operation button n is moved in the front-rear direction. Further, as shown in Fig. 7C, the guide member 14c provided in the holding body 14 has an inclined surface portion 14d which is more backward and backward as the misalignment button 11 is moved. The side wall 15c has a portion 16 201013138 which constitutes the terminal end in the direction in front of the guide groove 15d, that is, the groove end portion 15e. That is, the guide groove 15d is not opened at the front end surface of the side wall 15c. That is, the side wall 15c has a groove end portion 15e to restrict the position in the direction in front of the guide member 14c. Further, when the operation button 11 is released from the pressed state and moved forward, the operation is in a state in which the four guide members 14c are respectively brought into contact with the corresponding groove end portion 15e, and the operation button u is stopped. The initial position in the front and rear direction.

According to the guide member 14c and the side wall 15c thus constructed, when the operation button u is returned to the initial position, the position of the operation button u in the left-right direction is also restricted. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 6A, the virtual operation button 11 is pressed by the user, and thereafter, the situation is liberated by pressing. In this case, the operation button u is pressed back to the initial position by the assignment of the potential energy body 20. Thereby, the return to the operation button η is returned to the initial position, and even if the operation is shifted by the left and right positions, at least one of the inclined face portions (4) of the left and right guide members 14e slides with the corresponding groove end portion 15e. . ^, the female end does not directly contact the side wall 15c, the operation button u moves forward, and finally the left and right positions of the operation button u as shown in the seventh 7c_ are restricted to the center between the left and right side walls 15e. By this, it is possible to prevent the operation from being caught by the side (four) C when the operation is resumed to the initial position. As a result, in the operation of the present embodiment, when the button η is returned to the initial position, at least the center of the left and right guide members 14c slides with the groove end portion 15e of the corresponding side wall 15c. In this way, you can use the (4) operation to press (4) to return to the position in the left and right direction of the initial position. 17 201013138 Further, the shape of the guide member 14e and the guide groove 15d is a simple shape. Moreover, it does not hinder the movement of the operation button 11 money direction. Further, the guide member l4e and the side wall of the present embodiment are provided such that the switch 17 disposed behind the operation button 11 can be set to be on (〇N) even when the operation U is pressed to be tilted. . Fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example in which the operation button of the present embodiment is pressed to be inclined. As shown in Fig. 8, for example, the virtual operation button η is pressed by the user on the right side of Fig. 8. In this case, it is also conceivable that the bottom surface of the holding body 14 is not completely lowered. Therefore, the convex portion 21 to which the potential (4) is not sufficiently pressed cannot be sufficiently pressed, and the switch disposed on the rear side of the potential energy body 20 cannot be disposed. Set to open. However, in the present embodiment, the operation button 11 is removed from the guide member (4) on the left side of Fig. 8 (4) (8), and the bottom surface of the simplified body 14 is moved rearward so that the convex portion 21 can be sufficiently pressed. That is, when the point on the operation button 11 indicated by the downward arrow of FIG. 8 is taken as the force point, the upper end of the guide member on the left side is a fulcrum, and the bottom surface of the holding body 14 is in contact with the convex portion 21. Part of the point of action. The operation is performed in such a manner that the convex portion 21 is pressed to at least set the opening_ to be opened. The various sizes of the left and right side walls 15 and the operation button are determined to achieve the above-described operation of the operation button. Further, the energy-receiving body 2〇 disposed behind the operation button n is integrally provided in the button selection unit 16. In other words, the energizing body 2 is not a member such as a spring or the like, and is a member which can be formed at the same time as the button supporting portion 16 18 201013138. Fig. 9 is a front elevational view showing the configuration of the energizing body of the embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 9, the energizing energy body 2 is disposed such that the convex portion 21 is located at a substantially central position on the back surface of the operation button 11. Further, a guide hole i5f into which the lower end of the guide member 14c of the operation button 11 is inserted is disposed to surround the periphery of the energizing potential body 20. Further, a pair of second engaging members 15a are disposed on the upper side of the potential energy body 2'. The energizing energy source 20 disposed at this position is constructed to have a configuration of the left and right convex portions 21 of the two elastic plates 2a, which are formed integrally with the button supporting portion 16.
