Description
本発明は、扉の枢支軸を左右に変更できる冷蔵庫に関する。
This invention relates to the refrigerator which can change the pivot axis of a door to right and left.
従来の冷蔵庫は特許文献１に開示されている。この冷蔵庫は断熱箱体から成る本体部に前面を開口する貯蔵室が設けられ、貯蔵室の上下に配されるヒンジピンにより枢支された扉により貯蔵室の前面が開閉される。ヒンジピンは本体部の左右端に択一的に取り付けられる。ヒンジピンを左右に入れ替えることによって扉の枢支軸を左右に変更することができる。
A conventional refrigerator is disclosed in Patent Document 1. In this refrigerator, a storage chamber having a front surface is provided in a main body portion formed of a heat insulating box, and the front surface of the storage chamber is opened and closed by a door pivotally supported by hinge pins arranged above and below the storage chamber. The hinge pins are alternatively attached to the left and right ends of the main body. The pivot shaft of the door can be changed to the left and right by changing the hinge pin to the left and right.
本体部の天面には扉の上面に嵌合するヒンジピンを挿通する挿通孔が左右端にそれぞれ設けられる。本体部の天面は樹脂成形品の天面パネルにより覆われる。本体部の前部の左右端には天面パネルに係着される樹脂成形品のカバー部材がそれぞれ配される。カバー部材は左右方向にスライド自在に配され、左方のカバー部材の右端部及び右方のカバー部材の左端部には天面パネルに係合する係合爪がそれぞれ設けられる。
The top surface of the main body is provided with insertion holes at the left and right ends for inserting hinge pins that fit into the top surface of the door. The top surface of the main body is covered with a top panel of a resin molded product. Cover members of resin molded products that are attached to the top panel are arranged on the left and right ends of the front portion of the main body. The cover member is slidably arranged in the left-right direction, and an engaging claw that engages with the top panel is provided at the right end portion of the left cover member and the left end portion of the right cover member.
カバー部材は本体部の左右方向の外側から内側にスライドして係合爪の係合により天面パネルに係着される。これにより、挿通孔及びヒンジピンがカバー部材で覆われ、冷蔵庫の美感が保持される。また、カバー部材の上面を押圧して係合爪の係合を解除し、左右方向の内側から外側にスライドしてカバー部材が天面パネルから取り外される。これにより、上方のヒンジピンを左右に入れ替えることができる。
The cover member is slid inward from the outer side in the left-right direction of the main body and is engaged with the top panel by engagement of the engaging claws. Thereby, an insertion hole and a hinge pin are covered with a cover member, and the aesthetics of a refrigerator are maintained. Further, the upper surface of the cover member is pressed to release the engagement of the engaging claws, and the cover member is removed from the top panel by sliding from the inner side to the outer side in the left-right direction. Thereby, an upper hinge pin can be replaced with right and left.
また、特許文献１の従来例には左右端の挿通孔を一のカバー部材により覆う冷蔵庫が開示される。この冷蔵庫のカバー部材は左右方向の３箇所に並設された係合爪が前端及び後端に設けられる。カバー部材の前端の係合爪は本体部の前部に設けた前後に弾性変形する弾性体の前端に係合する。カバー部材の後端の係合爪は、天面パネルの前面と本体部との間に設けた孔部に挿入して天面パネルに係合する。
Also, the conventional example of Patent Document 1 discloses a refrigerator that covers the left and right insertion holes with a single cover member. As for the cover member of this refrigerator, the engagement nail | claw arranged in parallel by three places of the left-right direction is provided in a front end and a rear end. The engaging claw at the front end of the cover member engages with the front end of the elastic body that is elastically deformed in the front-rear direction provided at the front portion of the main body. The engaging claw at the rear end of the cover member is inserted into a hole provided between the front surface of the top panel and the main body to engage with the top panel.
カバー部材は後端の係合爪を天面パネルに係合し、前部を下方に回動すると弾性体の弾性によって前端の係合爪が弾性体の前端に係合して本体部に取り付けられる。また、カバー部材は扉を開いた状態で前端の係合爪の係合を解除し、前部を上方に回動して取り外される。これにより、上方のヒンジピンを左右に入れ替えることができる。
The cover member engages the engaging claw at the rear end with the top panel, and when the front part is rotated downward, the engaging claw at the front end engages with the front end of the elastic body by the elasticity of the elastic body and is attached to the main body. It is done. Further, the cover member is removed by releasing the engagement of the engaging claw at the front end with the door opened, and rotating the front part upward. Thereby, an upper hinge pin can be replaced with right and left.
しかしながら、上記の前者の冷蔵庫によると、カバー部材が左右方向の外側にスライドして取り外されるため、冷蔵庫の左方または右方に壁があるとカバー部材を取り外すことができない。このため、冷蔵庫を前方に引き出してカバー部材を取り外すため、扉の枢支軸を容易に変更することができない問題があった。
However, according to the former refrigerator, since the cover member is slid to the outside in the left-right direction, the cover member cannot be removed if there is a wall on the left or right side of the refrigerator. For this reason, since the refrigerator was pulled forward and the cover member was removed, there was a problem that the pivot shaft of the door could not be easily changed.
また、上記の後者の冷蔵庫によると、カバー部材が上方に回動して取り外されるため、冷蔵庫の上方に壁があるとカバー部材を取り外すことができない。このため、上記と同様に、冷蔵庫を前方に引き出してカバー部材が取り外される。加えて、扉を開いて３箇所の係合爪の係合を解除することによってカバー部材が取り外されるため、作業が繁雑になる。従って、扉の枢支軸を容易に変更することができない問題があった。
Also, according to the latter refrigerator, the cover member is pivoted upward and removed, and therefore the cover member cannot be removed if there is a wall above the refrigerator. For this reason, similarly to the above, the cover member is removed by pulling the refrigerator forward. In addition, since the cover member is removed by opening the door and releasing the engagement of the three engaging claws, the operation becomes complicated. Therefore, there is a problem that the pivot shaft of the door cannot be easily changed.

FIG. 3 shows a BB cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 and 3, the front panel 10 is provided with a step 11 that is lower than the rear at both the left and right ends. At the rear end of the stepped portion 11, a plurality of through-holes 11 b that are continuous from the back wall 11 a to the bottom surface of the stepped portion 11 are provided in the left-right direction. The back wall 11 a of the step portion 11 is curved when viewed from above and is inclined with respect to the opening surface 3 a of the storage chamber 3.
カバー部材２０は段差部１１を覆うように左右に延びて形成される。カバー部材２０の前端には水平に延びて段差部１１の前端１１ｃに係合する係合突起２３が形成される。カバー部材２０の後端には段差部１１の貫通孔１１ｂを貫通して段差部１１の背壁１１ａに係合する係合爪２１、２２が突設される。
The cover member 20 is formed to extend left and right so as to cover the step portion 11. An engagement protrusion 23 is formed at the front end of the cover member 20 so as to extend horizontally and engage with the front end 11 c of the step portion 11. Engaging claws 21 and 22 projecting from the rear end of the cover member 20 through the through hole 11b of the step portion 11 and engaging the back wall 11a of the step portion 11 are provided.
係合爪２１、２２は貫通孔１１ｂに対応して複数設けられる。本実施形態ではカバー部材１０の左右方向の中心近傍に２つの係合爪２２が左右対称に配され、係合爪２２の両外側に係合爪２１が左右対称に配される。
A plurality of engaging claws 21 and 22 are provided corresponding to the through holes 11b. In the present embodiment, the two engaging claws 22 are arranged symmetrically near the center of the cover member 10 in the left-right direction, and the engaging claws 21 are arranged symmetrically on both outer sides of the engaging claws 22.
係合爪２１は本体部２の両側面に親指を除く手指を掛けて親指が届く位置に設けられる。カバー部材２０の上面には係合爪２１の前方に矩形のマーキング２６ａ及びドット状のマーキング２６ｂが施される。
The engaging claw 21 is provided at a position where the thumb can reach by placing fingers other than the thumb on both sides of the main body 2. A rectangular marking 26 a and a dot-shaped marking 26 b are provided on the upper surface of the cover member 20 in front of the engagement claw 21.
図４は係合爪２１の斜視図を示している。係合爪２１は後方に延びる腕部２１ａから爪部２１ｂが上方に突出して形成される。腕部２１ａの弾性によって爪部２１ｂが上下方向に可動になっている。爪部２１ｂの頂部２１ｃは貯蔵室３の開口面３ａに対して平行に形成される。尚、係合爪２２も係合爪２１と同様に形成される。この時、係合爪２１の爪部２１ｂの高さＨは係合爪２２の爪部の高さＨよりも高く形成される。
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the engaging claw 21. The engaging claw 21 is formed such that a claw portion 21b protrudes upward from an arm portion 21a extending rearward. The claw portion 21b is movable in the vertical direction by the elasticity of the arm portion 21a. The top portion 21 c of the claw portion 21 b is formed in parallel to the opening surface 3 a of the storage chamber 3. The engaging claw 22 is formed in the same manner as the engaging claw 21. At this time, the height H of the claw portion 21 b of the engagement claw 21 is formed higher than the height H of the claw portion of the engagement claw 22.
カバー部材２０の後端には水平に延びるガイド部２４が係合爪２１の外側に突設される。ガイド部２４は天面パネル１０の段差部１１の背壁１１ａに開口する嵌合孔１１ｄ（図２参照）に少なくとも左右方向が嵌合する。
A horizontally extending guide portion 24 is provided at the rear end of the cover member 20 so as to protrude outside the engaging claw 21. The guide portion 24 is fitted in a fitting hole 11d (see FIG. 2) that opens in the back wall 11a of the step portion 11 of the top panel 10 at least in the left-right direction.
また、天面パネル１０の上面には左右に延びるリブ１４が突設される。リブ１４は本体部２の前部に配され、段差部１１の背壁１１ａよりも後方に形成される。天面パネル１０上に電子レンジ等の機器を設置する際に該機器がリブ１４よりも後方に配され、カバー部材２０に荷重が加わることを防止する。
Also, ribs 14 extending left and right are projected from the upper surface of the top panel 10. The rib 14 is disposed in the front part of the main body 2 and is formed behind the back wall 11a of the step part 11. When installing a device such as a microwave oven on the top panel 10, the device is arranged behind the rib 14 to prevent a load from being applied to the cover member 20.
カバー部材２０が段差部１１上を前方から後方にスライド移動されると、ガイド部２４が嵌合孔１１ｄに嵌合する。これにより、カバー部材２０が左右方向に位置決めされる。更にカバー部材２０が後方にスライド移動されると、カバー部材２０の前端の係合突起２３が段差部１１の前端１１ｃに係合する。同時に、係合爪２１、２２が弾性により貫通孔１１ｂを貫通して貫通孔１１ｂの周囲の背壁１１ａに係合する。
When the cover member 20 is slid from the front to the back on the step portion 11, the guide portion 24 is fitted into the fitting hole 11d. Thereby, the cover member 20 is positioned in the left-right direction. When the cover member 20 is further slid back, the engagement protrusion 23 at the front end of the cover member 20 engages with the front end 11 c of the step portion 11. At the same time, the engaging claws 21 and 22 penetrate the through hole 11b by elasticity and engage with the back wall 11a around the through hole 11b.
従って、貫通孔１１ｂの周囲の背壁１１ａは係合爪２１、２２に係合する係合部１２を構成するとともに、背壁１１ａ全体は係合部１２の形成面を構成する。これにより、カバー部材２０が天面パネル１０に係着される。
Therefore, the back wall 11a around the through hole 11b constitutes the engaging portion 12 that engages with the engaging claws 21 and 22, and the entire back wall 11a constitutes the surface on which the engaging portion 12 is formed. Thereby, the cover member 20 is engaged with the top panel 10.
この時、係合部１２の形成面である背壁１１ａは開口面３ａに対して傾斜し、係合爪２１、２２の頂部２１ｃ、２２ｃ（図１参照）は開口面３ａに対して平行に形成される。これにより、係合爪２１、２２の頂部２１ｃ、２２ｃが係合部１２の形成面（背壁１１ａ）に対して前後方向に傾斜する。
At this time, the back wall 11a which is the formation surface of the engaging portion 12 is inclined with respect to the opening surface 3a, and the top portions 21c and 22c (see FIG. 1) of the engaging claws 21 and 22 are parallel to the opening surface 3a. It is formed. Thereby, the top parts 21c and 22c of the engaging claws 21 and 22 incline in the front-back direction with respect to the formation surface (back wall 11a) of the engaging part 12.
このため、係合部１２を形成する貫通孔１１ａの上面と係合爪２１、２２とが点接触してカバー部材２０がスライドし、係合爪２１、２２の頂部全体が貫通孔１１ａを貫通して係合部１２に係合する。従って、係合爪２１、２２と係合部１２との摺動摩擦を低減し、容易にカバー部材２０を取り付けることができる。
For this reason, the upper surface of the through-hole 11a which forms the engaging part 12 and the engaging claws 21 and 22 come into point contact, and the cover member 20 slides, and the entire top part of the engaging claws 21 and 22 penetrates the through-hole 11a. Then, the engaging portion 12 is engaged. Therefore, sliding friction between the engaging claws 21 and 22 and the engaging portion 12 can be reduced, and the cover member 20 can be easily attached.
また、本体部２に取り付けられたカバー部材２０は本体部２の両側面に親指以外の手指を掛けてマーキング２６ａ、２６ｂ部分を親指で押圧すると弾性変形する。これにより、図５に示すように、マーキング２６ａ、２６ｂの近傍の係合爪２１と係合部１２との係合が解除される。この時、マーキング２６ａ、２６ｂから離れた係合爪２２は爪部の高さＨが低いため係合部１２との係合深さが浅い。このため、マーキング２６ａ、２６ｂ部分の押圧によって係合爪２２と係合部１２との係合が解除される。
Further, the cover member 20 attached to the main body 2 is elastically deformed by placing fingers other than the thumb on both sides of the main body 2 and pressing the markings 26a and 26b with the thumb. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, the engagement between the engagement claw 21 and the engagement portion 12 in the vicinity of the markings 26a and 26b is released. At this time, the engaging claw 22 separated from the markings 26a and 26b has a small engaging depth with the engaging portion 12 because the height H of the claw portion is low. For this reason, the engagement between the engagement claw 22 and the engagement portion 12 is released by pressing the markings 26a and 26b.
従って、マーキング２６ａ、２６ｂが施された左右に離れた２箇所の押圧領域２５の押圧によって係合爪２１、２２と係合部１２との係合を解除することができる。
Therefore, the engagement between the engaging claws 21 and 22 and the engaging portion 12 can be released by pressing the two pressing regions 25 left and right where the markings 26a and 26b are provided.
そして、図６に示すように係合爪２１、２２と係合部１２との係合が解除された状態でカバー部材２０前方に引き出すと、カバー部材２０を取り外すことができる。従って、本体部２の側方や上方に壁があっても冷蔵庫１を引き出すことなくヒンジピン５を入れ替えることができる。
Then, as shown in FIG. 6, when the engagement between the engagement claws 21 and 22 and the engagement portion 12 is released, the cover member 20 can be removed by pulling it forward. Therefore, the hinge pin 5 can be replaced without pulling out the refrigerator 1 even if there is a wall on the side or upper side of the main body 2.
本実施形態によると、ヒンジピン５の挿通孔７ａを覆うカバー部材２０が左右に離れた２箇所に設けた押圧領域２５の押圧によって後端に設けた係合爪２１、２２と天面パネル１０の係合部１２との係合を解除して前方に引き出して取り外される。これにより、冷蔵庫１の側方や上方に壁があっても冷蔵庫１を引き出すことなくヒンジピン５を左右に入れ替えることができる。また、扉４を閉じた状態で両手の手指で２箇所の押圧領域２５を押圧してカバー部材２０を容易に取り外すことができる。従って、扉４の枢支軸を容易に変更することができる。
According to the present embodiment, the cover members 20 that cover the insertion holes 7a of the hinge pins 5 have the engagement claws 21 and 22 provided at the rear end and the top panel 10 by the pressing of the pressing regions 25 provided at two positions left and right. The engagement with the engaging portion 12 is released and the front portion is pulled out and removed. Thereby, even if there is a wall on the side or upper side of the refrigerator 1, the hinge pin 5 can be switched left and right without pulling out the refrigerator 1. Further, the cover member 20 can be easily removed by pressing the two pressing areas 25 with fingers of both hands in a state where the door 4 is closed. Therefore, the pivot shaft of the door 4 can be easily changed.
また、カバー部材２０が天面パネル１０に設けた嵌合孔１１ｄに嵌合して左右方向を位置決めされるガイド部２４を有するので、カバー部材２０を左右方向に位置決めして前後方向に容易に案内することができる。尚、係合爪２１、２２と貫通孔１１ａとの嵌合によってカバー部材２０を左右方向に位置決めしてもよい。
Further, since the cover member 20 has the guide portion 24 that is fitted in the fitting hole 11d provided in the top panel 10 and positioned in the left-right direction, the cover member 20 is easily positioned in the front-rear direction by positioning in the left-right direction. I can guide you. In addition, you may position the cover member 20 in the left-right direction by fitting with the engaging claws 21 and 22 and the through-hole 11a.
また、押圧領域２５近傍の係合爪２１の係合深さよりも押圧領域２５から離れた係合爪２２の係合深さが浅いので、２箇所の押圧領域２５の押圧によって係合爪２１、２２の係合を解除してカバー部材２０を取り外すことができる。
Further, since the engagement depth of the engagement claw 22 that is separated from the press region 25 is shallower than the engagement depth of the engagement claw 21 in the vicinity of the press region 25, the engagement claw 21, The cover member 20 can be removed by releasing the engagement of the cover 22.
また、係合爪２１、２２の頂部２１ｃ、２２ｃが係合部１２の形成面（背壁１１ａ）に対して前後方向に傾斜するので、係合爪２１、２２と係合部１２との摺動摩擦を低減して容易にカバー部材２０を取り付けることができる。
Moreover, since the top parts 21c and 22c of the engaging claws 21 and 22 incline in the front-rear direction with respect to the formation surface (back wall 11a) of the engaging part 12, the sliding between the engaging claws 21 and 22 and the engaging part 12 occurs. The cover member 20 can be easily attached with reduced dynamic friction.
また、押圧領域２５を示すマーキング２６ａ、２６ｂをカバー部材２０に施したので、使用者が押圧領域２５を認識して容易にカバー部材２０を取り外すことができる。
Further, since the markings 26a and 26b indicating the pressing area 25 are provided on the cover member 20, the user can recognize the pressing area 25 and easily remove the cover member 20.
また、天面パネル１０は本体部２の前部に配されて左右に延びるリブ１４を係合部１２の形成面（１１ａ）よりも後方に突設されるので、天面パネル１０上に電子レンジ等の機器を設置する際に該機器がリブ１４よりも後方に配され、カバー部材２０に荷重が加わることを防止する。これにより、該機器が押圧領域２５を押圧することによるカバー部材２０の脱落を防止することができる。
Further, since the top panel 10 is provided with a rib 14 disposed on the front part of the main body 2 and extending in the left and right directions so as to protrude rearward from the formation surface (11 a) of the engagement part 12, When installing a device such as a range, the device is disposed behind the rib 14 to prevent a load from being applied to the cover member 20. As a result, the cover member 20 can be prevented from falling off when the device presses the pressing region 25.
本実施形態において、カバー部材２０が天面パネル１０の前部に設けた段差部１１上に配されるが、段差部１１を設けずに本体部２の直上にカバー部材２０を配してもよい。即ち、天面パネル１０は本体部２の天面の少なくとも後部を覆っていればよい。この時、係合突起２３は本体部２に係合し、係合部１２は天面パネル１０の前面に形成される。
In the present embodiment, the cover member 20 is disposed on the step portion 11 provided at the front portion of the top panel 10. However, even if the cover member 20 is disposed directly above the main body portion 2 without providing the step portion 11. Good. That is, the top panel 10 only needs to cover at least the rear part of the top surface of the main body 2. At this time, the engaging protrusion 23 engages with the main body 2, and the engaging portion 12 is formed on the front surface of the top panel 10.
