- the distance in the y-axis direction from the rotation center 343 of the outer door 3 to the rear end portion of the right connection surface S10 (ie, the front end portion E2 of the right side surface S6) is the front end portion (ie, outer surface) of the right connection surface S10 from the rotation center 343.
- the ultra-low temperature freezer 1 can increase the distance in the y-axis direction from the inner surface S8 to the outer surface S7. Therefore, even if the inner door 5 is thinned, the ultra-low temperature freezer 1 can obtain the necessary heat insulation performance. Further, by thinning the inner door 5 while shifting the outer surface S7 of the outer door 3 forward, the user can easily take out the storage box 6 from the storage space A. This is because the amount of rotation (that is, the opening angle) of the outer door 3 necessary for rotating the inner door 5 by 90 ° from the closed position is small. In the case of the present ultra-low temperature freezer 1, as illustrated in FIGS.
- the outer door 3 is 86.

- the heat insulating material 33 is disposed on the inner surface S8 side and is isolated from the outer surface S7.
- the temperature of the front surface of the heat insulating material 33 is not easily affected by the outside air temperature, and the low temperature side evaporator is not disposed in the outer door 3, so the front surface of the heat insulating material 33 (that is, the vacuum heat insulating panel).
- the rear surface can be reduced in temperature, and as a result, the occurrence of cracks in the vacuum insulation panel can be suppressed.
- the heat insulating material 33 can be disposed close to the inner surface S8 side, as shown in FIG. 3B, the heat insulating material 33 whose length in the x-axis direction is larger than that of the outer surface S7 can be disposed. Thereby, the heat insulation performance of the ultra-low temperature freezer 1 can be improved.

- the length of the right connection surface S10 in the z-axis direction is, for example, about 85 mm.

More specifically, it is preferable that the upper end position and the lower end position of the right connection surface S10 are designed to be substantially the same as the upper end position and the lower end position of the handle and lock mechanism of the other cryogenic freezer. In this case, outside the range of the right connection surface S10, for example, the outer surface S7 and the right side surface S6 are substantially orthogonal.
- connection surface S9 has a shape symmetrical to the right connection surface S10 in FIG. 5 with respect to the above-described longitudinal center plane.
- ultra-low temperature freezers are sometimes used in research institutions. Therefore, unlike home refrigerators, a plurality of ultra-low temperature freezers may be arranged side by side in the same indoor space. When replacing one of them with another cryogenic freezer, it is usually considered that many users do not want to move the remaining cryogenic freezer. In this case, the installation space for the ultra-low temperature freezer is limited. However, since the ultra-low temperature freezer 1 is oriented side by side as described above, it is very suitable for replacement as described above.
- the right connection surface S10 is a flat surface.
- the right connection surface S10 may be a concave surface as shown in FIG.
- this concave surface is a set of only points located on the inner surface S8 side from the virtual plane connecting the right end portion of the outer surface S7 and the front end portion of the right side surface S6 in plan view from the z-axis direction.

- connection surface S9 has a shape symmetrical to the right connection surface S10 in FIG. 5 with respect to the above-described longitudinal center plane.
- the ultra-low temperature freezer 1 of the above-described embodiment and each modification may be reversed left and right.
- the front left corner and the front right corner of the machine room 4 are configured in substantially the same shape as the left connection surface S9 and the right connection surface S10 when viewed in plan from the z-axis direction. It doesn't matter.
- the suction port for the dual refrigeration cycle may be provided on the front surface of the machine room 4, the shape of at least one of the left connection surface S9 and the right connection surface S10 is determined in consideration of the size of the suction port. It is preferable.

Abstract
Description
以下、上記図面を参照して、本開示の一実施形態に係る超低温フリーザ1について詳説する。
≪1-1.定義≫
図1,図2において、x軸は、超低温フリーザ1の横方向を示し、より具体的には、ユーザが超低温フリーザ1と正対した時に左側から右側に向かう方向を示す。y軸は、超低温フリーザ1の前後方向を示し、より具体的には、上記正対時に奥側から手前側に向かう方向(即ち、前方向)を示す。また、z軸は、超低温フリーザ1の上下方向を示し、より具体的は、超低温フリーザ1の設置面(略水平面)から鉛直上方に向かう方向(即ち、鉛直上方向)を示す。
超低温フリーザ1は、図1,図2に示すよう、基本的には、筐体2と、外扉3と、機械室4と、を備えている。なお、図1では、後述の断熱材23,33のように外部から視認出来ない構成を破線で示している。
筐体2の外表面は、図3A,図3Bに示すように、筐体側左側面S1と、筐体側右側面S2と、背面S3と、筐体側周縁S4と、を含む。外表面は、他にも、上下方向に互いに対向する天面と底面を含むが、これら天面および底面は、本開示の要部ではないため、図3A,図3Bには示されていない。
従来の冷凍装置(即ち特許文献1の冷凍装置)では、筐体側右側面に複数のヒンジが取り付けられて、扉が筐体に対して開閉自在になっている。そのため、扉の回転中心は実質的に、冷凍装置の右側面上に配置される。また、扉の右前方にある角(換言すると、扉の外面と側面とがなす角)は実質的に90°となっている。それゆえ、冷凍装置の右側面が壁に沿うように設置された場合、扉を開けた時、扉の角が壁と接触し易くなる。
次に、図5を参照して、上記実施形態の超低温フリーザ1の第一変形例について説明する。
≪2-1.第一変形例の構成≫
上記実施形態では、外扉3の上端から下端までの全範囲にわたって右接続面S10が設けられていた。しかし、これに限らず、右接続面S10は、図5に示すように、外扉3の上端から下端までの一部の範囲に設けられても構わない。この場合、右接続面S10の上端位置および下端位置は、同一機種または他機種の超低温フリーザ(以下、他の超低温フリーザという)に備わるハンドルおよびロック機構の設置場所(即ち、鉛直方向における上端および下端の位置)を考慮して定められる。より具体的には、右接続面S10の上端位置および下端位置は、他の超低温フリーザのハンドルおよびロック機構の上端位置および下端位置と実質同一に設計されることが好ましい。なお、この場合、右接続面S10の範囲外では、例えば、外面S7と右側面S6とが略直交する。
第一変形例によれば、超低温フリーザ1と、他の超低温フリーザとを横並びに配置した場合に、右接続面S10が設けられることにより、超低温フリーザ1の外扉3を開けた時、他の超低温フリーザに備わるハンドルまたはロック機構と外扉3が接触し難くなる。
次に、図6を参照して、上記実施形態の超低温フリーザ1の第二変形例について説明する。
≪3-1.第二変形例の構成≫
上記実施形態では、右接続面S10は平坦面であった。しかし、これに代えて、右接続面S10は、図6に示すように、凹面であっても構わない。但し、この凹面は、z軸方向からの平面視で、外面S7の右端部と右側面S6の前端部とを接続する仮想平面よりも内面S8側に位置する点のみの集合である。なお、凹面は、曲面であっても良いし、複数の平坦面の集合であっても良い。
第二変形例もまた1-4欄で説明したものと同様の作用および効果を奏する。
なお、上記実施形態および各変形例の超低温フリーザ1を左右反転させても構わない。
また、超低温フリーザ1のデザイン性を考慮して、機械室4の前方左角および前方右角が、z軸方向から平面視した時に、左接続面S9および右接続面S10とほぼ同じ形状に構成されても構わない。機械室4の前面には、二元冷凍サイクル用の吸込み口が設けられることがあるため、左接続面S9および右接続面S10の少なくとも一方の形状は、吸込み口のサイズを考慮して定められることが好ましい。
