The first embodiment

In the first embodiment, the refrigerator is a general household refrigerator, and a refrigerator with a plurality of doors is assumed.

Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the refrigerators 1a to 1c according to the first embodiment. The front view when the refrigerators 1a to 1c are installed, as viewed from the front.

Figure 1A shows a refrigerator 1a with six doors on the top and bottom, Figure 1B shows a refrigerator 1b with five doors on the top and bottom, and Figure 1C shows a refrigerator 1c with three doors on the top and bottom.

In the following description, the refrigerators 1a to 1c are also collectively referred to as refrigerator 1.

In addition, in Figure 1, the door of the refrigerator 1 is closed.

As shown in Figures 1A to 1C, at least one of the plurality of doors (the first door) of the refrigerator 1 (21a and 22a in Figure 1A, 2b in Figure 1B, and one in Figure 1C) 2c) It has gradation and pattern.

Specifically, at least one of the plurality of doors included in the refrigerator 1 is constituted by pasting a decorative door member with a gradient and a pattern on the front of the door. The door member is made of, for example, plate-shaped glass.

The door member of the door 2a of the refrigerator 1a shown in Fig. 1A (the door member of the first door), the door member of the door 2b of the refrigerator 1b shown in Fig. 1B (the door member of the first door), and the one shown in Fig. 1C The door member of the door 2c of the refrigerator 1c (the door member of the first door) is shown from the upper part (refer to 101 in Fig. 1A, 103 in Fig. 1B, and 105 in Fig. 1C) to the lower part (refer to Fig. 1A). 102, 104 in Fig. 1B and 106 in Fig. 1C) are gradually darkened with gradation.

In addition, the door 21a and door 22a of the refrigerator 1a shown in Figure 1A, the door 2b of the refrigerator 1b shown in Figure 1B, and the door 2c of the refrigerator 1c shown in Figure 1C. A plurality of straight lines are applied in the horizontal direction.

The specific method of applying the gradation and pattern to the door member will be described later.

In this way, the door members of the door 2a, door 2b, and door 2c are lowered in such a way that the upper part of the door member is the brightest and gradually darkens toward the lower part of the door member. Low brightness. In addition, as the brightness becomes darker, it appears that the pattern gradually disappears from the upper part of the door member to the lower part of the door member.

In addition, as shown in Figs. 1A to 1C, the door members 2a, 2b, and 2c where the gradient and pattern are applied are based on the end with the lowest brightness. The door members of 2a, 2b, and 2c are opposite to the door member (the door member of the second door) located on the side opposite to the end with the highest brightness (the 4 door members shown in door 107 in Fig. 1A, and one of the door members in Fig. 1B) The four door elements shown in the door 108 and the two door elements shown in the door 109 in Figure 1C are applied in a single color tone.

The aforementioned monochromatic color tone is implemented in a manner that continues the color tone of the appearance of the door 2a, the door 2b, and the end (lower part 102, 104, 106) of the door 2c that are invisible due to the gradual disappearance of the pattern. The hue, that is, the monochromatic hue of the doors 107, 108, and 109 has a lower brightness than the hue of the lower part 102, 104, and 106.

In this way, in the refrigerators 1a~1c, the doors 2a~2c are in the state where the refrigerators 1a~1c are installed, and the brightness difference is gradually darkened from the upper part to the lower part, and the brightness difference is corresponding to the brightness difference. The method is composed of door elements with patterns that seem to gradually disappear. In addition, in the refrigerators 1a~1c, each in the state where the refrigerators 1a~1c are installed, the door member located below the end of the door member with the lowest brightness of the door member where the gradient and the pattern are applied is applied with a monochromatic color tone. Of the door components.

As a result, the refrigerators 1a~1c can feel to the user that the door members that are not decorated with gradation and patterns at the lower part of the refrigerators 1a~1c also have natural decorative changes with patterns.

In addition, in the first embodiment, among the door members that have more than one door in the refrigerator 1, the door member to which the gradation and pattern are applied is also referred to as the "patterned door member". Door components".

In addition, in the first embodiment, among the door members that have more than one door in the refrigerator 1, the door member that is decorated with a single color without gradation and pattern is also referred to as a "monochrome door member." .

Here, in the refrigerator 1, a structural example of a door member having a pattern and a single-color door member will be described in detail. In addition, in the following description, the door member is assumed to be made of glass.

Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the first embodiment for explaining a configuration example of each door member constituting a plurality of doors included in the refrigerator 1, and Figure 2A is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a door member with a pattern. Fig. 2B is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a single-color door member. As an example, Fig. 2A is a cross-sectional view A-A' of Fig. 1A, and Fig. 2B is a B-B’ cross-sectional view of Fig. 1A.

As shown in Fig. 2A, the door member with a pattern is to the door member (201 in Fig. 2A), and the gradation (202 in Fig. 2A), the pattern (203 in Fig. 2A), and the background color (203 in Fig. 2A) are superimposed on the door member (Fig. 2A). Figure 204) and protective layer (Figure 2A, 205).

In addition, in the gradation layer, the degree of gradual darkening of the gradation layer can be appropriately set.

In addition, in Fig. 2A, for convenience of explanation, wavy lines are used to indicate, but in the pattern layer, the content of the applied pattern can be appropriately set. Here, for example, a pattern in which a plurality of straight lines are applied in the horizontal direction in an appropriate color is adopted (refer to Fig. 1). As shown in Fig. 2A, the pattern is applied to the entire surface of the door member with the pattern, but by overlapping the gradation, the pattern is applied so that the pattern disappears according to the gradation. As a result, the door member with a pattern appears to change in brightness in response to the gradation, and as the brightness becomes darker, the pattern that is applied with the gradation and overlap is gradually invisible.

Also, in Fig. 2A, for convenience of explanation, shading is used, but in The base color layer implements the appropriate color tone in a single color. In addition, in the first embodiment, "implementing the color tone in a single color" means applying the color tone without gaps, and the color tone also includes those containing metallic colors or pearl colors.

In addition, in Fig. 2A, the gradient layer and the pattern system are applied to different layers, but it is not limited to this. It is also possible to combine the gradation and the pattern into one layer.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 2B, the single-color door element is a door element (201 in Fig. 2B) with a background color (204 in Fig. 2B) and a protective layer (205 in Fig. 2B).

The content of the base color layer and the protective layer of the single-color door member is the same as that of the door member with patterns shown in Figure 2A.

As shown in Figure 2, the single-color door member system can reduce the number of decorative layers compared to door members with patterns.

Therefore, in the refrigerator 1, for the door members of the door without gradation and pattern, by using a single-color door member with fewer decorative layers, the production cost of the door member of the refrigerator 1 can be suppressed.

In addition, Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B show examples of the decoration order when making door members with glass. The decoration order is not limited to this, and gradation (202 in Fig. 2A) and patterns (203 in Fig. 2A) are also possible. The order of decoration is reversed.

Next, for door members with patterns and single-color door members, specific methods for implementing gradation, patterns, or color tones will be explained.

For example, door members with patterns and monochromatic door members are opposed to door members. By directly printing the resin coating layer of the gradation layer, the resin coating layer of the pattern or the resin coating layer of the color tone, the gradation, pattern, Or hue.

It can also be made by pasting the decorative film of the gradation, pattern and color to be decorated Apply gradation, pattern, or color to door components.

As described above, the refrigerator 1 of the first embodiment is to decorate the door members constituting at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 with gradation contrasting with the pattern, so that it appears to be in accordance with the gradation. Refrigerator 1 whose pattern gradually disappears. In addition, the refrigerator 1 of the first embodiment is the following refrigerator 1. The refrigerator 1 is set on the door member where the gradient and the pattern are applied, and the door member where the gradient and the pattern is applied is based on the end with the lowest brightness. , The door member on the opposite side of the end with the highest brightness, which has not been applied with gradation and pattern, adopts the door member with a monochromatic color tone.

Thereby, the user can feel the natural decorative changes to the door of the refrigerator 1, and the door members that have not been subjected to gradation and patterns can also feel that they contain patterns, and the refrigerator 1 can be made into a highly designable refrigerator 1 . In addition, since the door members of a part of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 are made in a monochromatic color, the number of decorative layers can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

In the above description, as an example, the pattern applied to the door member with the pattern adopts a plurality of straight lines in the horizontal direction as shown in Fig. 1, but it is not limited to this.

Hereinafter, other patterns applied to door members with patterns will be described as examples.

Figures 3 to 8 are in the first embodiment and are used to illustrate an example of other patterns applied to door members with patterns.

In addition, Figures 3 to 8 show door members that have a pattern on one of the applied gradations and the pattern.

For example, as shown in Figure 3, the door member with a pattern can also be placed The implemented pattern is in the state where the refrigerator has been installed, and adopts multiple lines with a horizontal direction of shaking.

When the color of the background color (refer to 204 in Figure 2A) applied overlaid with the pattern layer applied with a pattern with a plurality of swaying lines is made into a metallic color, the door of the refrigerator 1 can make the door of the refrigerator 1 feel like metal to the user If the door with the pattern is made in brown color, the door of the refrigerator 1 can make the door of the refrigerator 1 feel like a wood-grained door to the user, and the design of the refrigerator 1 will be improved.

Also, for example, as shown in Fig. 4, the pattern applied to the door member with the pattern may be in a state where the refrigerator 1 is installed, and a plurality of stripes in the horizontal direction with different heights or intervals in the height direction may be used. line.

Since the pattern is a random line, the refrigerator 1 can be made into a door that gives the user an organic impression even though it is a geometric pattern.

Also, for example, as shown in Fig. 5, the pattern applied to the door member with the pattern may be in the state where the refrigerator 1 has been installed, and it may be represented by a plurality of patterns that form a line in the horizontal direction by assembly and directionality. Floral pattern with arrow pattern.

By expressing the directionality of the line by a collection of graphics, compared with the case of using a single line pattern, the refrigerator 1 can be made into a door that gives a more dynamic impression to the user.

Moreover, for example, as shown in Fig. 6A to Fig. 6C, the pattern applied to the door member with the pattern may be a pattern pattern that is filled with arbitrary figures.

By adopting patterns that have no directionality in the vertical and horizontal directions, the refrigerator 1 can be made to naturally display the connection between the door and the door to the user.

Also, for example, as shown in Figure 7, the pattern applied to the door member with the pattern may be a striped pattern in an oblique direction, or the stripes in an oblique direction may be crossed. Fork pattern. In addition, in Fig. 7, as an example, a pattern in which stripes in an oblique direction are intersected is shown.

By creating a striped pattern in an oblique direction, even a small printing area, the pattern can be arranged on the entire door member with a pattern. By reducing the amount of ink used, it can also be made into a door member with a pattern that suppresses the cost.

For example, as shown in Figure 7, when the pattern is executed in an oblique direction, as shown in Figure 3, compared to the case of a pattern with a plurality of lines in the horizontal direction that oscillates, there are more blank areas, and the pattern The amount of ink used in the printing layer can be small.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, the pattern applied to the door member having the pattern may be a pattern in which patterns are arranged radially and randomly.

By creating a pattern that implements a random pattern, it is difficult for the user to feel the deviation of the pattern between the doors. In this way, defective products can be reduced, and the production efficiency of the refrigerator 1 can be improved.

In this way, the pattern system applied to the door member having the pattern can be appropriately set.

In addition, in the above first embodiment, the door member is made of glass, but this is only an example, and the door member may be made of, for example, metal steel plate or rock.

In addition, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the door member has a plate shape, but this is only an example, and the door member may be an exterior material used in the refrigerator 1. For example, the door member system may also be a member having a shape that is curved over the entire surface, or a member having a shape with rounded corners at the corners.

Also, in the above first embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, as an example, the refrigerator 1 is assumed to have a plurality of doors on the top and bottom, but this is just An example.

For example, the refrigerator 1 may have a plurality of doors on the left and right sides.

Moreover, in the above first embodiment, the front face of at least one door 2a~2c of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 is implemented in a state where the refrigerator is installed, in the vertical direction, which gradually changes from the upper part to the lower part. It is composed of a dark gradation and a door member with a pattern that seems to gradually disappear in response to the gradation, but this is just an example.

For example, in front of at least one door 2a~2c of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1, in the state where the refrigerator is installed, in the vertical direction, a gradation that gradually becomes brighter from the upper part to the lower part, and It seems that it is composed of a door member with a pattern that gradually disappears in response to the gradation.

In addition, for example, the front surface of at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 may adopt a gradation that gradually darkens from the left to the right in the left and right directions when the refrigerator is installed. The door member with a pattern that seems to gradually disappear in response to the gradation can also be used with a gradation that gradually becomes brighter from the left to the right, and it appears to be in response to the gradation. It is constituted by a door member with a pattern gradually disappearing (for example, refer to Fig. 9A and Fig. 9B).

Also, for example, the front surface of at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 may be made into a gradation that gradually darkens from the end on one of the diagonals to the end on the other side, and the view A door member with a pattern that gradually disappears in response to the gradation (refer to Figure 10A and Figure 10B).

As long as the front surface of at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 is gradually layered from one end to the other end, and is applied with a pattern that seems to gradually disappear due to the gradation. The door components are sufficient.

Moreover, in the above first embodiment, the gradation system, for example, as shown in Figure 1, adopts the one to be performed from the end of one door member to the end of the other door member from the upper part to the lower part of the door member, but this It's just an example. The gradation system may not necessarily start from the end of the door member, and may also exist in the part where the brightness of the end is fixed. The gradation system only needs to be performed in the direction from one end to the other end of the door member.

As shown above, according to the first embodiment, if the refrigerator 1 is made to include at least one door 2a~2c, the front of the door is gradually layered from one end to the other end, and The pattern overlaps the gradation layer and is executed to form a door member that disappears in response to the gradation layer. As a result, for the user, the door of the refrigerator 1 can be changed in a natural-looking decoration, and the design of the refrigerator 1 can be improved.

In addition, according to the first embodiment, the refrigerator 1 is configured such that the door member where the gradient and the pattern are applied, with the end of the relatively low brightness as a reference, the door member where the gradient and the pattern are applied, is positioned opposite to the brightness The relatively high end is the door member on the opposite side, and the color tone is monochromatic. In this way, the user can feel that the door member that has not been decorated with gradation and pattern appears to have patterns. In addition, in the refrigerator 1, in the door member that is not decorated with gradation and pattern, by using a single-color door member that reduces the number of decorative layers, the production cost of the door member of the refrigerator 1 can be suppressed.

In addition, the present invention is within the scope of the present invention, and any component of the embodiment can be modified or omitted.
