An evaporation dish 129 is disposed above the compressor 121 for storing discharge water collected by the drain pan 118 .

＜Dryer fixing device＞ Hereinafter, the structure of the dryer fixing device 130 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6 .

The dryer fixing device 130 of this embodiment is rolled around the peripheral surface of the cylindrical dryer 127, and the end is fastened to the main body of the refrigerator 100 by a fastening member 131 made of a tapping screw or a bolt. Corner pieces119. Thereby, the dryer 127 is fixed to the corner piece 119 .

Specifically, the dryer fixing device 130 of this embodiment is formed by bending a metal plate. The dryer fixing decoration 130 has a wrapping portion 130R wrapped around the peripheral surface of the dryer 127 . A first extension part 130A and a second extension part 130B are extended at both ends of the rolling part 130R. When the dryer fixing device 130 is wound around the dryer 127, the first extension part 130A and the second extension part 130B Located away from dryer 127.

The wrap portion 130R is formed in a shape having substantially the same curvature as the peripheral surface of the standard dryer 127 . The boundary portion 130RA between one end portion of the wrap portion 130R and the first extension portion 130A is formed at a substantially right angle in plan view and is formed as a curved portion. The boundary portion 130RB between the other end portion of the wrap portion 130R and the second extension portion 130B smoothly switches from a curved surface shape to a planar shape.

In particular, in this embodiment, the elongated hole 130AH in the left-right direction is formed in the first extended portion 130A, and the single hole 130BH is formed in the second extended portion 130B.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the dryer fixing device 130 has the first extension part 130A disposed on the front side of the refrigerator 100 and the second extension part 130B on the rear side of the refrigerator 100 when the dryer 127 is fixed. way to be used.

That is, when assembling the refrigerator 100, the worker overlaps the first extension part 130A and the second extension part 130B while surrounding the dryer 127 with the rolling part 130R, and fixes both to the corner fittings. 119 on. Specifically, when the worker has tightened the surroundings of the dryer 127 with the rolling part 130R, the elongated hole 130AH of the first extension part 130A and the single hole 130BH of the second extension part 130B are aligned with each other to form the corner piece. 119 at the position of the single hole 119H and fastened by the fastening component 131.

In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 , the wrap portion 130R is stretched according to the diameter of the dryer 127 , so that the second extension portion 130B facing the first extension portion 130A is The position can be shifted in the left and right directions. That is, by moving the position of the long hole 130AH of the first extension part 130A in the left-right direction relative to the position of the single hole 130BH of the second extension part 130B, it is possible to cope with various types of dryers 127 having different diameters. In other words, in this embodiment, the relative positions of the long hole 130AH of the first extension part 130A and the hole 119H of the corner piece 119 can be adjusted in the left-right direction.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the first extended portion 130A formed with the long hole 130AH and the wrapped portion 130R are connected at right angles to form a curved portion, the second extended portion 130B formed with the single hole 130BH and the wrapped portion 130R Since the dryer 127 is connected with a smooth surface, once the dryer 127 is fastened and fixed, the elongated hole 130AH or the first extension 130A becomes difficult to move in the left-right direction with respect to the corner piece 119 or the second extension 130B.

Specifically, the wrap portion 130R expands or contracts in accordance with the diameter of the dryer 127 . In this embodiment, it is the vicinity of the boundary with the first extended portion 130A in the wrapping portion 130R, that is, the starting point from which the curved portion is wrapped on the outer periphery of the dryer 127. The wrapping portion is wound from the curved portion to the single unit on the outer periphery of the dryer 127. The length of the hole 130BH is the length obtained by subtracting the overlapping distance between the first extension part 130A and the second extension part 130B. In this embodiment, since the length from the curved portion to the single hole 130BH is a fixed length, the overlap distance of the first extension portion 130A and the second extension portion 130B is increased or decreased to correspond to changes in the outer circumferential length of the dryer 127 . Furthermore, when the diameter of the dryer 127 is small, the overlapping distance between the first extension part 120A and the second extension part 130B increases, so the first extension part 130A is moved closer to the dryer 127 (on the right side in FIG. 7 ). . That is, the periphery of the dryer 127 is tightened with the roll part 130R by pushing in so that the curved part approaches the dryer 127, and in this case, the long hole 130AH of the first extended part 130A and the second The single hole 130BH of the extension part 130B is fastened and fixed by the fastening member 131 .

Furthermore, when the dryer 127 attempts to be loosened from the wrap portion 130R due to vibration or the like, although the wrap portion 130R is stretched outward, the stress causes the first extension portion 130A to be pulled toward the dryer 127 The side direction acts so that the overlapping distance of the first extended portion 130A and the second extended portion 130B increases, and as a result, the dryer 127 is further tightened. Therefore, the dryer 127 will not be loosened from the roll portion 130R during normal vibrations or the like unless the first extension portion 130A is particularly pulled in a direction away from the dryer 127 (on the left side in FIG. 7 ). stress, the length of the wrapping portion 130R will not be extended. That is, when vibration is uniformly applied in general all directions, it is possible to prevent the dryer from being loosened from the wrap portion 130R.

Although the curved portion may not be at a right angle and may be at an obtuse or acute angle, it is preferably a right angle or an acute angle. In this case, it becomes difficult for the vibration of the dryer 127 to be converted into a stress that causes the first extension part 130A to slide outward, and it becomes difficult for the first extension part 130A to slide in the direction in which the length of the roll part 130R is extended. Furthermore, by making the bent portion a right angle, the wrapped portion 130R immediately following the bent portion becomes parallel to the front-rear direction of the refrigerator 100, and it is possible to change the direction of the diameter of the wrapped portion 130R, that is, the left-right direction of the refrigerator 100. Constructed in a roughly orthogonal manner. In this case, the boundary portion 130RA between the package portion 130R and the first extension portion 130A becomes a fulcrum for the diameter change of the package portion 130R, making movement difficult.

In addition, it is preferable that the wrap portion 130R has a structure such that even if the diameter of the dryer 127 changes, the bent portion is located on the front side of the dryer 127, that is, the wrap portion 130R is wound around the back side of the dryer 127 ( on the upper side in Figure 7) in a half-circle manner. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the bending portion from sliding on the outer periphery of the dryer 127 due to vibration or the like.

As a result, even if a long time has passed since assembly or the capillary 126 or the dryer 127 is vibrated, the positional deviation of the first extension part 130A with respect to the hole 119H of the corner piece 119 can be reduced, and the positional deviation with respect to the wrapping part 130R can be reduced. Possibility of the dryer 127 tightening becoming loose.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the rib 130X protruding in the horizontal direction is formed at the switching portion between the first extension portion 130 and the wrapping portion 130R where the elongated hole 130AH is formed, the gap between the first extension portion 130A and the wrapping portion 130R is The right-angled shape of the connecting part becomes firm and difficult to deform. According to this structure, the position of the long hole 130AH or the first extension part 130A with respect to the corner piece 119 or the second extension part 130B becomes more difficult to move.

[Second Embodiment] In the above embodiment, the first extended portion 130A and the wrapped portion 130R formed with the elongated hole 130AH have a curved portion at the switching portion. However, a curved portion may be formed at the boundary between the second extended portion 120B and the wrapped portion 130R. department. In this case, the angle of the curved portion of the boundary between the first extension portion 130A and the wrap portion 130R is closer to a right angle than the angle of the curved portion of the boundary between the second extension portion 130B having the single hole 130BH and the wrap portion 130R. .

For example, the angle of the bent portion at the boundary between the first extended portion 130A formed with the elongated hole 130AH and the wrapped portion 130R is 90 degrees, and the boundary between the second extended portion 130B formed with the single hole 130BH and the wrapped portion 130R is 90 degrees. The angle of the curved portion may be 135 degrees or the like.

Alternatively, the angle of the bent portion at the boundary between the first extended portion 130A formed with the elongated hole 130AH and the wrapped portion 130R is 135 degrees, and the boundary between the second extended portion 130B formed with the single hole 130BH and the wrapped portion 130R is set to 135 degrees. The angle is formed to be 180 degrees, that is, the curved portion does not need to be formed.

[Third Embodiment] In addition, in the above embodiment, the dryer fixing device 130 is composed of one metal plate, but it may be composed of a plurality of metal members, or may be composed of materials other than metal such as resin.

[Fourth Embodiment] In addition, in the above embodiment, it is not limited to a dryer, but can also be used as a fixing device for wrapping around cylindrical articles of different diameters and fixing the articles.

In the above embodiment, a refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a dryer provided in a refrigeration cycle and a dryer fixing device that is fixed to the structure of the refrigerator and fixes the dryer by sandwiching the periphery of the dryer.
