第1実施形態について図1から図9を参照して説明する。図1に示すように、冷蔵庫1の筐体2は、前面が開口した矩形の箱状をなしていて、鋼板製の外箱3と合成樹脂製の内箱(図示せず)との間に、発泡ウレタンなどの発泡断熱材からなる断熱材4(図6参照)を充填して構成されている。この筐体2は、内部に複数の貯蔵室を有している。貯蔵室としては、最上部に冷蔵室5が設けられ、その下に野菜室6が設けられ、その野菜室6の下に、図示はしないが製氷室および冷凍室が設けられている。
第2実施形態について図10を参照して説明する。この第2実施形態では、ITアダプタ25を収納部33に取り付ける構造において、ITアダプタ25が有する無線通信部35を上向きに位置させるための取付規制手段を構成する前記係合爪37がない場合である。このような場合においては、ITアダプタ25が、図10に示すように、これの無線通信部35が下向きとなる状態で収納部33に取り付けられてしまうことがある。仮に、このようにITアダプタ25が上下逆向きに取り付けられたとしても、前面部のコネクタ34は、筐体2の上面よりも上に位置するようになっている。このため、筐体2の上面に水が流れることがあったとしても、その水がコネクタ34に接触することを防止できる。この点については、収納部33がなく、ITアダプタ25を筐体2の上面に直接取り付ける場合でも同様である。
第3実施形態について図11および図12を参照して説明する。この第3実施形態では、無線通信手段を構成するITアダプタ25を、右上部のヒンジユニット9側には設けておらず、代わりに左上部のヒンジユニット8付近に設けている。左上部のヒンジユニット8は、左右2枚の扉7Aおよび扉7Bのうち、幅寸法が小さいほうの左側の扉7Aを支持する。ヒンジカバー30には、第1実施形態のヒンジカバー30と同様に、ヒンジカバー部31と、接続線引出し部22を囲う囲い部32と、ITアダプタ25を収納する収納部33が一体に設けられている。接続線引出し部22には、一端部が制御装置24に接続された接続線23が引き出されている。接続線23には、この場合、ITアダプタ25接続用の接続線23B、操作パネル11用の接続線23C、ヒータ接続線23Dが含まれている。
第4実施形態について図13を参照して説明する。この第4実施形態は、前述した第1実施形態とは次の点が異なっている。すなわち、接続線引出し用部材18の後部に、容器状の収納部61を一体に設けていて、この収納部61も、外箱3の開口部19に上方から嵌め込んでいる。したがって、収納部61の底面は、外箱3の上面より下方に位置している。そして、その収納部61にITアダプタ25を収納配置し、このITアダプタ25のコネクタ34と接続線23Bのコネクタ26を接続している。
第5実施形態について図14を参照して説明する。図14には、ITアダプタ25を、左側の扉7Aのヒンジ部16の近傍に設けた例が簡略化して示されている。筐体2の上面において、接続線23を引き出す接続線引出し部62は、ヒンジ部16の後方で、かつ前方から見てヒンジ部16より内側(この場合、右側)に位置するように右斜めに配置されている。ITアダプタ25は、接続線引出し部62の後方延長線上に位置するように配置されている。換言すれば、ITアダプタ25は、ヒンジ部16から右斜め後方に配置されている。
第6実施形態について図15を参照して説明する。図15では、ITアダプタ25を、右側の扉7Bのヒンジ部16の近傍に設けた例が簡略化して示されている。筐体2の上面において、接続線引出し部62は、ヒンジ部16の左横に設けられている。ITアダプタ25は、接続線引出し部62の左横に位置させて、扉7Bに並行するように横向き配置されている。コネクタ34は右に向けられている。接続線引出し部62に引き出された接続線23のうち、扉7A側の接続線23はヒンジ部16側に導出されてヒンジ軸17に挿入され、ITアダプタ25用の接続線23Bは、ITアダプタ25側に向けられ、コネクタ26,34を介してITアダプタ25に接続されている。そして、ヒンジ部16、接続線引出し部62、およびITアダプタ25は、これらを一括して覆うカバー64により覆われている。このカバー64は、ヒンジ部16、接続線引出し部22、およびITアダプタ25の配置に沿うように、上から見てL字状をなしている。筐体2の天井部の後部には、冷凍サイクルのコンプレッサ65が配置されている。
第7実施形態について図16を参照して説明する。この第7実施形態は、上記した第6実施形態とは次の点が異なっている。すなわち、筐体2の上面において、ITアダプタ25を、ヒンジ部16および接続線引出し部62の後方に位置させて、前方から見てそれらヒンジ部16および接続線引出し部62にラップするように配置している。ITアダプタ25は、コネクタ34を左に向けた横向きで、扉7Bに並行するように配置されている。
第8実施形態について図17を参照して説明する。この第8実施形態は、次の点を特徴としている。筐体2の上面において、右側の扉7Bのヒンジ部16の後方に、接続線引出し部62を形成する部材として取付部材68が設けられている。この取付部材68は、例えば合成樹脂製で、接続線引出し部62と収納部69を有している。収納部69は接続線引出し部62の後方に位置していて、この収納部69に、配線基板70とITアダプタ25が収納されている。この場合、ITアダプタ25は、配線基板70の後方に位置させて、コネクタ34を前に向けた状態で配置されている。ヒンジ部16と、接続線引出し部62と、配線基板70と、ITアダプタ25が、前後方向に直線状に配置されている。そして、ヒンジ部16、接続線引出し部62、配線基板70、およびITアダプタ25は、これらを一括して覆うカバー71により覆われている。このカバー71は、ヒンジ部16、接続線引出し部62、配線基板70、ITアダプタ25の配置に沿うように、上から見て直線状をなしている。配線基板70には温度センサや湿度センサを設けており、これらの検出値に基づいて庫内の制御をしている。また、これらの検出値により、ITアダプタ25の動作するための周囲環境を報知するようにしても良い。
第9実施形態について図18を参照して説明する。この第9実施形態は、上記した第8実施形態とは次の点が異なっている。すなわち、接続線引出し部62を形成する取付部材72は、接続線引出し部62の周りに収納部73を有している。この収納部73において、配線基板70は接続線引出し部62の後方に配置され、ITアダプタ25は、接続線引出し部62と配線基板70の左横に配置されている。したがって、ITアダプタ25は、前方から見て配線基板70より内側に配置されている。そして、ヒンジ部16、接続線引出し部62、配線基板70、およびITアダプタ25は、これらを一括して覆うカバー74により覆われている。このカバー74は、ヒンジ部16、接続線引出し部62、配線基板70、ITアダプタ25の配置に沿うように、上から見てL字状をなしている。
第10実施形態について図19から図22を参照して説明する。図19から図22のうち、図19および図20は、右上部のヒンジユニット9の近傍にITアダプタ25を設置していない場合を示し、図21および図22は、ITアダプタ25を設置した場合を示している。なお、図19から図22において、2枚の扉7A,7Bは省略されている。
この場合、ヒンジカバー30の係合孔40は、接続線引出し部22を覆う引出し部用カバー76(第1のカバー)と、接続線引出し部22とITアダプタ25を同時に覆う通信手段用カバー80(第2のカバー)の双方の取り付けが可能なカバー取付部を構成している。なお、本実施形態においては、接続線23Bに、ノイズ防止用の金属線28およびアース線28aが設けられていないが、設けておくことが好ましい。
上記した実施形態では、冷蔵室5の扉として両開き式の2枚の扉7A、7Bを備えたものを例示したが、一枚の扉の場合にも適用することができる。この場合にも、ITアダプタ25は、その扉を支持するヒンジ部の近傍に設ける。
