Description
本開示は、冷蔵庫に関し、特に冷蔵庫内の貯蔵室間を仕切る仕切板の構成に関する。
The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator, and particularly to a configuration of a partition plate that partitions storage rooms in the refrigerator.
一般に冷蔵庫には、断熱性を有する冷蔵庫本体内に、複数の貯蔵室、例えば、冷蔵室、冷凍室、及び野菜室等が設けられている。そして、これら冷蔵室、冷凍室、及び野菜室等をそれぞれ仕切る仕切板の前端面に、各貯蔵室に設けられた扉のマグネットパッキンを吸着させて、各貯蔵室が各扉で気密に閉じられ、外部から各貯蔵室への熱侵入を防止している。
Generally, a refrigerator is provided with a plurality of storage rooms such as a refrigerator room, a freezer room, a vegetable room, etc. in a refrigerator body having heat insulation properties. And the magnet packing of the door provided in each storage room is made to adsorb | suck to the front end surface of the partition plate which divides these refrigerator compartment, freezer compartment, vegetable room, etc., and each storage room is airtightly closed by each door. This prevents heat from entering the storage chamber from the outside.
また、上記のような仕切板は、各貯蔵室内の冷気の影響を受けて低温化されているため、その表面に結露が生じることがある。このため、従来の冷蔵庫は、仕切板の裏面に冷凍サイクルの放熱パイプ等からなる加熱部が設けられ、加熱部により仕切板を加熱し、結露が生じないように構成されている。
Moreover, since the partition plate as described above is lowered in temperature under the influence of cold air in each storage chamber, condensation may occur on the surface thereof. For this reason, the conventional refrigerator is provided with a heating part including a heat radiating pipe of a refrigeration cycle on the back surface of the partition plate, and the partition plate is heated by the heating unit so that dew condensation does not occur.
このように構成された冷蔵庫においては、仕切板が加熱される際、加熱された仕切板の熱が貯蔵室内に侵入する虞があるため、仕切板からの熱の侵入を抑制する技術が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
In the refrigerator configured in this way, when the partition plate is heated, there is a possibility that the heat of the heated partition plate may enter the storage chamber. Therefore, a technique for suppressing the heat intrusion from the partition plate is proposed. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
図9、図10A及び図10Bは、特許文献1に記載されている冷蔵庫における、仕切板からの熱侵入を抑制する構成を示している。特許文献1に記載の冷蔵庫は、冷蔵庫本体100、冷蔵庫本体100内を上下方向において複数の貯蔵室に仕切る仕切板101、仕切板101の前端部を補強する金属製の仕切補強板102、仕切板101の前端面に設けられた化粧板103、及び、仕切板101の内面に設けられた放熱パイプ104を有する。特許文献1に記載の冷蔵庫では、仕切板101を加熱することにより、その表面に結露が生じることを防止している。
9, FIG. 10A, and FIG. 10B show a configuration that suppresses heat intrusion from the partition plate in the refrigerator described in Patent Document 1. FIG. The refrigerator described in Patent Document 1 includes a refrigerator main body 100, a partition plate 101 that partitions the inside of the refrigerator main body 100 into a plurality of storage chambers in the vertical direction, a metal partition reinforcing plate 102 that reinforces a front end portion of the partition plate 101, and a partition plate. 101 has a decorative plate 103 provided on the front end surface of 101 and a heat radiating pipe 104 provided on the inner surface of the partition plate 101. In the refrigerator described in Patent Document 1, the partition plate 101 is heated to prevent condensation on the surface.
ここで、化粧板103は、樹脂板で構成されているため、放熱パイプ104で加熱されても、加熱された部分は温度上昇して結露を防止することになる。一方、樹脂板は熱伝導が悪いため、化粧板103の加熱された部分の上側及び下側における両端部分、即ち各貯蔵室に臨む部分の温度は低く、貯蔵室への熱侵入が抑制される。
Here, since the decorative plate 103 is made of a resin plate, even when heated by the heat radiating pipe 104, the heated portion rises in temperature and prevents condensation. On the other hand, since the heat conduction of the resin plate is poor, the temperature of the upper and lower ends of the heated portion of the decorative plate 103, that is, the temperature of the portion facing each storage chamber is low, and heat penetration into the storage chamber is suppressed. .
このように、特許文献1の構成によれば、化粧板103を樹脂板で構成するという簡単な構成で、化粧板から各貯蔵室への熱侵入を抑制できるという利点がある。
Thus, according to the configuration of Patent Document 1, there is an advantage that heat penetration from the decorative plate to each storage chamber can be suppressed with a simple configuration in which the decorative plate 103 is formed of a resin plate.
しかしながら、樹脂製の化粧板103は、その両端部が、冷蔵庫本体100の両側部に、仕切補強板102とともにビス105にて固定されている。このため、冷蔵庫が長期間使用されると、樹脂製の化粧板103の熱伸縮率と、金属製の仕切補強板102の熱伸縮率との差により、微妙に撓み変形するおそれがある。特に、横幅が大きい大型の冷蔵庫にあっては変形の懸念が大きい。
However, both end portions of the resin decorative plate 103 are fixed to both side portions of the refrigerator main body 100 by screws 105 together with the partition reinforcing plate 102. For this reason, when a refrigerator is used for a long time, there exists a possibility that it may bend and deform | transform delicately according to the difference between the thermal expansion / contraction rate of the resin decorative plate 103 and the thermal expansion / contraction rate of the metallic partition reinforcing plate 102. In particular, there is a great concern about deformation in a large refrigerator having a large width.
本開示は、上記のような課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、長期間使用されても撓み変形等の懸念のない高品質な冷蔵庫を提供する。
The present disclosure has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a high-quality refrigerator that is free from concerns such as bending deformation even when used for a long period of time.
具体的には、本開示の実施の形態の一例による冷蔵庫は、冷蔵庫本体と、冷蔵庫本体内を複数の貯蔵室に仕切る仕切板と、仕切板の前端部を補強する金属製の仕切補強板と、仕切板の前端面を覆う化粧板と、化粧板と仕切補強板との間、かつ、化粧板の裏面に配置された加熱部とを備える。仕切補強板は、冷蔵庫本体の左右両側の側板にビス止め固定されている。化粧板は、樹脂で形成されるとともに、仕切補強板の、冷蔵庫本体にビス止め固定される部分以外の部分において、仕切補強板にビス止め固定されている。
Specifically, the refrigerator according to an example of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a refrigerator body, a partition plate that partitions the refrigerator body into a plurality of storage chambers, and a metal partition reinforcement plate that reinforces the front end portion of the partition plate. The decorative board which covers the front end surface of a partition plate, and the heating part arrange | positioned on the back surface of a decorative board between a decorative plate and a partition reinforcement board are provided. The partition reinforcing plate is fixed to the left and right side plates of the refrigerator main body with screws. The decorative plate is formed of resin and is fixed to the partition reinforcing plate by screws at portions other than the portion of the partition reinforcing plate that is fixed to the refrigerator main body by screws.
このような構成により、防露用の加熱部で加熱される化粧板の温度上昇が抑えられ、化粧板の上側及び下側における両端部分から貯蔵室に熱が侵入することを抑制することができる。これにより、冷却に要するエネルギを低減できる。また、金属製の仕切補強板と樹脂製の化粧板との間に熱伸縮差があっても、樹脂からなる化粧板は、その両端部分がビス止め固定されずにフリーな状態となっているので、熱伸縮差による影響を大きく低減できる。これにより、冷蔵庫が長期間使用されても撓み等の変形を防止することができる。
With such a configuration, a rise in the temperature of the decorative board heated by the dew-proof heating unit is suppressed, and heat can be prevented from entering the storage chamber from both end portions on the upper and lower sides of the decorative board. . Thereby, the energy required for cooling can be reduced. Moreover, even if there is a difference in thermal expansion and contraction between the metallic partition reinforcing plate and the resin decorative plate, the resin decorative plate is in a free state without being fixed with screws at both ends. Therefore, the influence by the thermal expansion / contraction difference can be greatly reduced. Thereby, even if the refrigerator is used for a long period of time, deformation such as bending can be prevented.
よって、このような構成により、化粧板から貯蔵室への熱侵入を低減し、かつ、化粧板自身の変形も抑制でき、省エネルギ性が高くかつ高品質な冷蔵庫を提供することができる。
Therefore, with such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the heat intrusion from the decorative plate to the storage room and to suppress the deformation of the decorative plate itself, and to provide a refrigerator with high energy saving and high quality.
本開示の実施の形態の一例による冷蔵庫は、冷蔵庫本体と、冷蔵庫本体内を複数の貯蔵室に仕切る仕切板と、仕切板の前端部を補強する金属製の仕切補強板と、仕切板の前端面を覆う化粧板と、化粧板と仕切補強板との間、かつ、化粧板の裏面に配置された加熱部とを備える。冷蔵庫本体は、左右両側に側板を有し、仕切補強板は、冷蔵庫本体の左右両側の側板にビス止め固定されている。化粧板は、樹脂で形成されるとともに、仕切補強板の、冷蔵庫本体にビス止め固定される部分以外の部分において、仕切補強板にビス止め固定されている。
A refrigerator according to an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a refrigerator body, a partition plate that partitions the refrigerator body into a plurality of storage rooms, a metal partition reinforcing plate that reinforces a front end portion of the partition plate, and a front end of the partition plate A decorative plate covering the surface; and a heating unit disposed between the decorative plate and the partition reinforcing plate and on the back surface of the decorative plate.

The decorative plate is formed of resin and is fixed to the partition reinforcing plate by screws at portions other than the portion of the partition reinforcing plate that is fixed to the refrigerator main body by screws.
このような構成により、防露用の加熱部で加熱される化粧板の温度上昇が抑えられ、化粧板の上側及び下側における両端部分から貯蔵室に熱が侵入することを抑制することができる。これにより、冷却に要するエネルギを低減できる。また、金属製の仕切補強板と樹脂製の化粧板との間に熱伸縮差があっても、樹脂からなる化粧板は、その両端部分がビス止め固定されずにフリーな状態となっているので、熱伸縮差による影響を大きく低減できる。これにより、冷蔵庫が長期間使用されても撓み等の変形を防止することができる。
With such a configuration, a rise in the temperature of the decorative board heated by the dew-proof heating unit is suppressed, and heat can be prevented from entering the storage chamber from both end portions on the upper and lower sides of the decorative board. . Thereby, the energy required for cooling can be reduced. Moreover, even if there is a difference in thermal expansion and contraction between the metallic partition reinforcing plate and the resin decorative plate, the resin decorative plate is in a free state without being fixed with screws at both ends. Therefore, the influence by the thermal expansion / contraction difference can be greatly reduced. Thereby, even if the refrigerator is used for a long period of time, deformation such as bending can be prevented.
また、本開示の実施の形態の一例による冷蔵庫は、化粧板の裏面に、磁性体が設けられていてもよい。
Further, in the refrigerator according to an example of the embodiment of the present disclosure, a magnetic body may be provided on the back surface of the decorative board.

以上のように構成された冷蔵庫50の仕切板の作用効果について、仕切板22を代表例として、以下説明する。
The effects of the partition plate of the refrigerator 50 configured as described above will be described below using the partition plate 22 as a representative example.
冷蔵庫50の仕切板22は、その前端を覆う化粧板30の裏面に、磁性体29が設けられている(図5参照)。このような構成により、製氷室6及び切替室7並びに冷凍室8等の貯蔵室の扉11,12,13内面に設けられたマグネットパッキン15が、良好に仕切板22に吸着できる。これにより、化粧板30が樹脂で形成されていても、製氷室6及び切替室7並びに冷凍室8等の貯蔵室の気密性を確保できる。
As for the partition plate 22 of the refrigerator 50, the magnetic body 29 is provided in the back surface of the decorative board 30 which covers the front end (refer FIG. 5). With such a configuration, the magnet packing 15 provided on the inner surfaces of the doors 11, 12, and 13 of the storage chambers such as the ice making chamber 6, the switching chamber 7, and the freezing chamber 8 can be satisfactorily attracted to the partition plate 22. Thereby, even if the decorative board 30 is formed with resin, the airtightness of storage rooms, such as the ice making room 6, the switching room 7, and the freezer compartment 8, can be ensured.
そして、化粧板30は、その裏面に配置されている加熱部である放熱パイプ20によって、磁性体29を介して加熱される。したがって、化粧板30の表面に結露が生じることを防止できる。
And the decorative board 30 is heated via the magnetic body 29 by the heat radiating pipe 20 which is a heating part arranged on the back surface thereof. Therefore, it is possible to prevent condensation on the surface of the decorative board 30.
このとき、化粧板30は、樹脂で形成されているため、放熱パイプ20からの熱が化粧板30を伝導しにくく、結露を防止できる程度の比較的低い温度にしか温度上昇しない。
At this time, since the decorative board 30 is made of resin, the heat from the heat radiating pipe 20 hardly conducts the decorative board 30, and the temperature rises only to a relatively low temperature that can prevent condensation.
よって、化粧板30の上側及び下側における両端部分から、複数の貯蔵室、即ち製氷室6、切替室7及び冷凍室8等へと熱侵入することが少なくなり、その分、冷却に要するエネルギを低減でき、省エネルギ性の高い冷蔵庫を提供することができる。
Therefore, it is less likely that heat penetrates into the plurality of storage rooms, that is, the ice making room 6, the switching room 7, the freezing room 8 and the like from both end portions on the upper side and the lower side of the decorative board 30, and the energy required for cooling correspondingly. And a refrigerator with high energy saving can be provided.
また、化粧板30は、両端部分より、長手方向(冷蔵庫50の横幅方向)における中央寄り部分において、仕切補強板26にビス止め固定されている。また、化粧板30の両端部分は、冷蔵庫本体1の両側板の外箱フランジ2aと、仕切補強板26との間に挟み込まれて固定されている。このような構成により、熱伸縮に対してフリーな状態(熱収縮の影響を受け難い状態)となっている。すなわち、化粧板30の両端部分は、外箱フランジ2aと仕切補強板26とで挟持されているだけであるため、仕切補強板26の熱伸縮に対し、自由に熱伸縮可能な状態となっている。したがって、化粧板30の背面にある金属製の仕切補強板26と、化粧板30との間に、熱伸縮差があっても、化粧板30が、仕切補強板26の熱伸縮の影響を受けてひずみ変形等することを抑制することができる。
Further, the decorative plate 30 is fixed to the partition reinforcing plate 26 with screws at the central portion in the longitudinal direction (the width direction of the refrigerator 50) from both end portions. Further, both end portions of the decorative plate 30 are sandwiched and fixed between the outer box flange 2 a of both side plates of the refrigerator main body 1 and the partition reinforcing plate 26. With such a configuration, it is in a state free from thermal expansion and contraction (a state that is hardly affected by thermal contraction). That is, since both end portions of the decorative plate 30 are merely sandwiched between the outer box flange 2a and the partition reinforcement plate 26, the thermal expansion and contraction of the partition reinforcement plate 26 can be freely expanded and contracted. Yes. Therefore, even if there is a thermal expansion / contraction difference between the metallic partition reinforcing plate 26 on the back surface of the decorative plate 30 and the decorative plate 30, the decorative plate 30 is affected by the thermal expansion and contraction of the partition reinforcing plate 26. Therefore, it is possible to suppress deformation and the like.
また、本実施の形態では、仕切補強板26と放熱パイプ20との間に断熱材27が設けられている。このような構成により、仕切補強板26自体の温度上昇を抑制することができる。そして、上記のように、仕切補強板26の温度を低く抑制できることから、仕切補強板26自体の熱伸縮を抑制して、化粧板30との熱伸縮差を少なくすることもできる。
In this embodiment, a heat insulating material 27 is provided between the partition reinforcing plate 26 and the heat radiating pipe 20. With such a configuration, the temperature rise of the partition reinforcing plate 26 itself can be suppressed. And since the temperature of the partition reinforcement board 26 can be suppressed low as mentioned above, the thermal expansion-contraction of the partition reinforcement board 26 itself can be suppressed, and the thermal expansion-contraction difference with the decorative board 30 can also be decreased.
したがって、化粧板30が仕切補強板26にビス止め固定されていても、化粧板30及び仕切補強板26の両者の熱伸縮差による変形を低減できる。つまり、本実施の形態で示すような構成とすれば、化粧板30の変形を更に効果的に抑制することができる。
Therefore, even if the decorative plate 30 is fixed to the partition reinforcing plate 26 with screws, deformation due to the thermal expansion / contraction difference between the decorative plate 30 and the partition reinforcing plate 26 can be reduced. That is, if it is set as the structure shown in this Embodiment, the deformation | transformation of the decorative board 30 can be suppressed more effectively.
なお、本実施の形態では、化粧板30に設けられたビス止め固定用のビス挿通孔32が、仕切補強板26の伸縮方向に長い長穴の形状を有する。このような構成とすることにより、ビス挿通孔32部分で、化粧板30と仕切補強板26との間の熱伸縮差が吸収されることが可能となる。これにより、化粧板30の撓み変形等をより確実に防止でき、冷蔵庫の品質を更に高めることができる。
In this embodiment, the screw insertion hole 32 for fixing the screw provided on the decorative plate 30 has a shape of a long hole extending in the expansion / contraction direction of the partition reinforcing plate 26. By setting it as such a structure, it becomes possible to absorb the thermal expansion-contraction difference between the decorative board 30 and the partition reinforcement board 26 in the screw insertion hole 32 part. Thereby, the bending deformation etc. of the decorative board 30 can be prevented more reliably, and the quality of the refrigerator can be further enhanced.
また、化粧板30の裏面に配置した断熱材27には、凸状部28が設けられ、化粧板30の裏面に当接させている。このような構成により、化粧板30が仕切補強板26にビス止め固定されていても、ビス止め固定するビス33の締め付け圧力を、凸状部28が受け止める形となる。したがって、化粧板30がビス止めによって変形することを防止できる。すなわち、ビス止め固定により懸念される化粧板30の窪み変形等も防止することができ、冷蔵庫の良好な外観を保つことができる。
Further, the heat insulating material 27 arranged on the back surface of the decorative board 30 is provided with a convex portion 28 and is in contact with the back surface of the decorative board 30. With such a configuration, even if the decorative plate 30 is fixed to the partition reinforcing plate 26 with screws, the convex portion 28 receives the tightening pressure of the screws 33 to be fixed with screws. Therefore, the decorative board 30 can be prevented from being deformed by screwing. That is, it is possible to prevent the deformation of the decorative board 30 which is a concern due to fixing with screws, and to maintain a good appearance of the refrigerator.
さらに、化粧板30は、その両端部分が、冷蔵庫本体1の側板の外箱フランジ2aと仕切補強板26との間に挟み込まれ固定されている。このような構成により、化粧板30の両端部分が、外部に露出することを防止できる。したがって、この点からも、化粧板30の外観を良好なものとして、冷蔵庫の品質を高めることができる。
Furthermore, both ends of the decorative plate 30 are sandwiched and fixed between the outer box flange 2a of the side plate of the refrigerator main body 1 and the partition reinforcing plate 26. With such a configuration, both end portions of the decorative board 30 can be prevented from being exposed to the outside. Therefore, also from this point, the appearance of the decorative board 30 can be made good, and the quality of the refrigerator can be improved.
以上、本開示について、実施の形態を用いて説明したが、本開示は、これに限定されるものではない。つまり、ここに開示された実施の形態は、すべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本開示の範囲は、上述した説明ではなくて請求の範囲によって示され、請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
