具体实施方式
以下,参照附图说明用于实施本发明的实施方式。以下说明的冰箱是用于将本发明的技术思想具体化的冰箱,只要没有特定的记载,就不将本发明限定于以下内容。在各附图中,对具有相同功能的部件标注相同的附图标记。为了明确说明,有时也会夸张示出各附图所示的部件的大小、位置关系等。在附图中,冰箱放置在水平的地面上,用箭头表示使用者面朝门时的上下、前后、左右,下述也同样记载。在附图中,用虚线箭头示意性地示出冰箱内的气体的流动。
图1是示意性地示出本发明的一个实施方式的冰箱1的侧剖图。首先,参照图1说明本发明的一个实施方式的冰箱1的概要。
冰箱1具有壳体2,包括在搁置于水平的地面的状态下能够旋转地安装于壳体2的前方部分的上门3和下门4。在壳体2的内部,作为储藏室配置有冷冻室6和冷藏室7。在壳体2的内表面与冷冻室6、冷藏室7的外表面之间设置有绝热材料。
<冷却风路>
如图1所示,在冷冻室6和冷藏室7的后方设置有冷却风路10,该冷却风路10由下侧冷却风路10A和上侧冷却风路10B构成,其中下侧冷却风路10A和上侧冷却风路10B分别由分隔部件11A、11B分隔出。在冷却风路10(详细而言,下侧冷却风路10A)上配置有蒸发器(evaporator)24。蒸发器24构成冰箱1的冷却回路的一部分。
冷却回路具备压缩机(compressor)21、冷凝器(condenser)22、毛细管(capillary tube)以及蒸发器24。冷却回路的各构成要素之间通过配管以上述顺序流体连接,通过制冷剂在冷却回路内循环,蒸发器24被冷却。压缩机21的转速可变,当压缩机21的转速变高时,更多的制冷剂循环而能够加强对蒸发器24的冷却。
在冷却风路10内的蒸发器24的上方配置有风扇12。通过风扇12,能够使冰箱内的气体流动,能够将通过蒸发器24的风扇之间而被冷却的气体从冷却风路10向冷冻室6、冷藏室7供给。风扇12的转速也可变,当风扇12的转速变高时,能够增加向冷冻室6、冷藏室7供给的气体的流量。
在下侧隔板11A的上侧的开口配置有冷冻室风门13。在冷冻室风门13打开的状态下,通过了蒸发器24的气体从下侧冷却风路10A流向冷冻室6。另一方面,在冷冻室风门13关闭的状态下,通过了蒸发器24的气体不会从下侧冷却风路10A流向冷冻室6。在图1中,示出冷冻室风门13关闭的状态。
在风扇12运转,冷冻室风门13打开的情况下,从下侧冷却风路10A流入冷冻 室6的气体在冷冻室6内循环,从下侧分隔部件11A的下侧的开口返回到下侧冷却风路10A的蒸发器24的入口侧。由此,气体再次通过蒸发器24而被冷却,重复同样的流动循环。这称为冷冻室冷却循环。在冷冻室冷却循环中通过了蒸发器24的气体在冷冻室6内循环的期间,能够冷却冷冻室6内的储藏物。
但是,是否使气体流入冷冻室6的切换不限于使用冷冻室风门13的情况。例如,也能够使用具有覆盖风扇12的外侧的可动式的风扇罩的遮蔽装置。在风扇罩打开的情况下,能够使从风扇12排出的气体流入冷冻室6,在风扇罩关闭的情况下,能够使从风扇12排出的气体不流入冷冻室6。
进而,在下侧冷却风路10A与上侧冷却风路10B之间配置有冷藏室风门14。在冷藏室风门14打开的状态下,通过了蒸发器24的气体从下侧冷却风路10A流向上侧冷却风路10B。进而,流入上侧冷却风路10B的气体经由设置在多个高度位置的第一出风口16A~第三出风口16C,从上侧冷却风路10B流入冷藏室7。在本实施方式中,分隔部件11B由前板和左右两侧的侧板构成,从上侧观察具有コ字形的形状(例如参见图5A)。分隔部件11B的前板的宽度尺寸比冷藏室7的宽度尺寸小,在横向上配置在中央位置。第一出风口16A~第三出风口16C分别具有设置在前板的将气体向前侧引出的开口和设置在两侧的侧板的将气体向横侧引出的开口。另一方面,在冷藏室风门14关闭的状态下,通过了蒸发器24的气体不会从下侧冷却风路10A流向上侧冷却风路10B。在图1中,示出冷藏室风门14打开的状态,用虚线箭头示意性地示出此时的气体的流动。
在风扇12运转,冷藏室风门14打开的情况下,从上侧冷却风路10B经由第一出风口16A~第三出风口16C流入冷藏室7的气体在冷藏室7内循环,向在冷藏室7的下侧开口的返回风路15的入口15A流入。
返回风路15是供在冷藏室7循环了的气体不在冷冻室6内流动而流入到下侧冷却风路10A的下侧的风路。返回风路15与冷却风路10分隔配置。从上侧冷却风路10B流入冷藏室7并在冷藏室7内循环的气体从入口15A流入返回风路15。然后,流入的气体在返回风路15内流动,从下侧的出口15B流入下侧冷却风路10A的下侧,返回到蒸发器24的入口侧。由此,气体再次通过蒸发器24而被冷却,重复同样的流动循环。这称为冷藏室冷却循环。在冷藏室冷却循环中通过了蒸发器24的气体在冷藏室7内循环的期间,能够冷却冷冻室6的储藏物。
在本实施方式的冰箱1中,在冷藏室7设置有两个搁架30A、30B。第一出风口16A和第二出风口16B在搁架30A、30B的近下侧开口,第三出风口16C在冷藏室7 的上部开口。如上所述,所有出风口16A、16B、16C都在前侧、左侧、右侧这三个方向具有开口。在位于第一出风口16A的近上方的搁架30A的下侧安装收纳容器50。更详细而言,用于向收纳容器50中导入气体的收纳容器50的入口侧开口54配置成与向第一出风口16A的右侧引出气体的开口对置。通过后侧卡合机构60,收纳容器50的后侧的区域与搁架30A卡合,通过前侧拆装机构70,收纳容器50的前侧的区域以可拆卸的状态与搁架30A卡合。由此,收纳容器50以能够拆装的状态从搁架30A悬挂安装。气体经由第一出风口16A流入冷藏室7,并且也流入收纳容器50中,在流过收纳容器50中后,从收纳容器50流出。由此,能够冷却收纳容器50内的收纳物。
在图1中,作为一例,示出了收纳容器50以可拆卸的状态安装在下侧的搁架30A的情况,但不限于此,也可以以可拆卸的状态安装在上侧的搁架30B,还可以以可拆卸的状态安装在冷冻室6内的搁架。即,收纳容器50有可能安装在于冰箱1的储藏室的任意区域设置的搁架的下侧。关于该收纳容器50,将在后面详细说明。
在壳体2的后方且下部配置有机械室40,并配置有压缩机21、冷凝器22、蒸发皿(未图示)等。另外,在上侧冷却风路10B的第一出风口16A的近上方设置有改变上侧冷却风路10B的风路面积的冷却风路调整机构80。关于冷却风路调整机构80,也在后面详细说明。

收纳容器50是上面开口的大致矩形的壳体,上侧的开口由盖52覆盖。但是,收纳容器50的形状不限于矩形,能够采用其他任意的形状。收纳容器50中的收纳物的取放原则上是在冰箱1之外将盖52从收纳容器50拆下而进行的。在收纳物的取放结束后,将盖52安装在收纳容器50。并且,使用位于收纳容器50的后侧的后侧卡合机构60和位于收纳容器50的前侧的前侧拆装机构70,能够将安装有盖52的 收纳容器50以可拆卸的状态安装在搁架30A的下侧。

冰箱1的搁架30A通过安装在冷藏室7的内壁7A的搁架支承件32安装。搁架支承件32安装在冷藏室7的后侧的内壁7A(参见图2A)和两侧的内壁。在搁架支承件32设置有凹形状的搁架保持部34,搁架30A的端部插入搁架保持部34。由此,搁架30A在除了前侧以外的三个方向上由搁架支承件32支承,以足够的强度固定在冷藏室7的内壁(7A等)。
在搁架支承件32的搁架保持部34的下侧形成有凹形状的承受部64。另外,在收纳容器50的后端向后方延伸形成有载置部62。后侧卡合机构60由载置部62和承受部64构成。载置部62可以在收纳容器50的后端的横向整体上连续地设置,也可以在横向的规定位置设置多个规定宽度的载置部62。为了将收纳容器50安装在搁架30A的下侧,首先,将形成在收纳容器50的后端的载置部62载置在承受部64的上表面。由此,能够经由搁架支承件32使收纳容器50的后侧的区域与搁架30A卡合。
承受部64的前侧比承受载置部62的面稍微向上方鼓出而形成,防止所载置的载置部62从承受部64脱离。但是,在拆装时,通过稍微抬起收纳容器50,将载置部62抬起到比承受部64的前侧靠上方的位置,能够容易地将载置部62从承受部64拆下。由于搁架支承件32安装在冷藏室7的内壁7A,因此也可以表达为使收纳容器50的后侧的区域与冷藏室7的内壁7A卡合。
在本实施方式中,保持搁架30A的搁架保持部34和与收纳容器50卡合的承受部64形成在同一部件(搁架支承件32),但不限于此。例如,也可以搁架保持部34和承受部64由单独的部件形成。在该情况下,具有承受部64的部件与具有搁架支承件32的部件分别地直接安装在内壁7A。另外,也可以具有承受部64的部件直接安装在由搁架支承件32支承的搁架30A。无论在哪种情况下,都能够表达为通过后侧卡合机构60使收纳容器50的后侧的区域与搁架30A或储藏室(冷藏室)7的内壁7A卡合。另外,也可以是搁架30A搁置在形成于壳体2的内表面(即冷藏室7的内壁7A)的搁架承受件。
收纳容器50、盖52、构成后侧卡合机构60的载置部62及搁架支承件32(承受部64)优选由轻量且制造成本低的树脂材料形成。但是,并不限于此,也可以至少一部分使用金属材料等。
<前侧拆装机构>
在收纳容器50的前侧的上方安装有旋转基座72,在旋转基座72能够自由旋转 地安装有卡扣臂74。由旋转基座72和卡扣臂74构成前侧拆装机构70。由旋转基座72和卡扣臂74构成的前侧拆装机构70在收纳容器50的前侧至少设置一个。但是,考虑到稳定性,优选在收纳容器50的前侧的横向设置多个(例如左右各一个)。
卡扣臂74具有弹性,如图2A的箭头所示,使卡扣臂74旋转,能够使之与搁架30A的上表面卡扣配合。卡扣配合是指通过利用材料的弹性进行嵌入而以能够拆装的状态进行固定的方式。构成前侧装拆机构70的旋转基座72和卡扣臂74优选由树脂材料形成。
<收纳容器的拆装方法>
为了将收纳容器50安装在搁架30A的下侧,将收纳容器50推入到第一搁架30A的下侧的后方,将形成在收纳容器50的后端的载置部62载置在安装于冷藏室7的内壁7A的搁架支承件32的承受部64的上表面。之后,如图2A的箭头所示,使前侧的卡扣臂74旋转,使其与搁架30A卡扣配合。由此,收纳容器50的前侧和后侧被固定,以能够拆装的状态悬挂在搁架30A的下侧地安装。
为了将安装在搁架30A的下侧的收纳容器50拆下,如图2A的箭头所示,使前侧的卡扣臂74旋转,将其从搁架30A拆下。之后,通过将收纳容器50向近前稍上侧拉动,能够将在后侧载置于承受部64的载置部62从承受部64拆下。进而,通过将收纳容器50向前侧拉出,能够容易地将收纳容器50取出到冰箱1之外。
<收纳容器的位置的移动>
图3A是示意性地示出冷藏室7内的收纳容器50的安装位置的一个实施方式的俯视图。图3B是示意性地示出冷藏室7内的收纳容器50的安装位置的其他实施方式的俯视图。接下来,参见图3A、3B,示出操作前侧拆装机构70来改变收纳容器50的安装位置的情况。在图3A的左下示出了放大示出引导肋52、54A、检测肋54B的区域的立体图。
收纳容器50的横向长度(即宽度尺寸)形成得比搁架30A的横向长度短。在本实施方式中,特别是收纳容器50的横向的长度(即宽度尺寸)形成得相较于冷藏室7的比分隔部件11B靠右侧的区域的横向的长度短。由此,在冷藏室7的比分隔部件11B靠右侧的区域,能够使收纳容器50的设置位置在横向上移动。具体的收纳容器50的横向长度根据收纳容器50所需的收纳容量、冷藏室7的比分隔部件11B靠右侧的区域的横向长度等适当确定。在图3A中,示出收纳容器50安装在冷藏室7的右侧的区域的情况,在图3B中,示出收纳容器50安装在中央的分隔部件11B的附近的情况。
在将收纳容器50的安装位置例如从图3A所示的位置变更为图3B所示的位置的情况下,能够按照下述顺序执行。从图3A所示的状态,将前侧装拆机构70的卡扣臂74的上侧拉向近前,由此能够将被卡扣配合的卡扣臂74从搁架30A拆下。在该状态下,能够用手支承收纳容器50的前侧的区域,保持收纳容器50的后侧的载置部62载置在承受部64的状态,使其向左方向滑动,移动到图3B所示的位置。然后,再次使卡扣臂74旋转,使卡扣臂74与搁架30A卡扣配合。通过这样的顺序,能够容易地将收纳容器50的设置位置从图3A所示的位置变更为图3B所示的位置。
在冷藏室7的搁架30A的下侧的区域存在收纳物,无法使收纳容器50横向滑动的情况下,如上所述,也可以暂时将收纳容器50从冰箱1取出到外部,之后,将收纳容器50重新安装到图3B所示的位置。
在本实施方式中,利用卡扣配合构成前侧装拆机构70,但不限于此。例如,也能够使用拆装机构,该拆装机构具备具有凸部的夹紧销和具有与凸部对应的凹部的供夹紧销插入的孔部,通过使夹紧销旋转来进行夹紧销与孔部的卡合和卡合解除。进而,能够采用其他已知的任意的简易拆装机构。
<入口侧开口、出口侧开口>
返回到参见图2A至图4D的说明,在收纳容器50的一个侧面(在此为左侧的侧面)50A的后侧上方设置有供气体流入的入口侧开口54。在收纳容器50的另一个侧面(在此为右侧的侧面)50B的前侧下方,设置有供流过收纳容器50内的气体流出的出口侧开口56。
如图2B所示,沿着入口侧开口54,在收纳容器50的外表面50A形成有在横向上延伸的引导肋54A。另外,在盖52也形成有在横向上延伸的引导肋52A。如图3B所示,在收纳容器50接近分隔部件11B的右侧安装时,由引导肋52A、54A包围的开口配置成与第一出风口16A的右侧的开口接近并对置。收纳容器50中的入口侧开口54的位置以能够实现如上所述的配置的方式,与第一出风口16A的位置对应地确定。
由此,能够将从第一出风口16A的右侧的开口排出的冷气直接取入到收纳容器50内。特别是,能够利用引导肋52A、54A引导来自第一出风口16A的气体的流动,有效地使气体流入收纳容器50内。另外,如图3A所示,即使在入口侧开口54从第一出风口16A离开的情况下,也能够利用引导肋52A、54A引导从第一出风口16A流出的气体,使气体有效地流入收纳容器50内。
另外,在图3A所示的情况下,即使在收纳容器50的左侧存在收纳物,由于由 引导肋52A、54A包围的空间的后方开口,因此也能够防止入口侧开口54被完全堵塞。由此,能够可靠地冷却收纳容器50内的收纳物。
另外,无论是俯视还是侧视收纳容器50,入口侧开口54和出口侧开口56都配置在大致对角线上。由此,从入口侧开口54流入收纳容器50内的气体在收纳容器50内的大致整个区域流动,从出口侧开口56流出。由此,能够有效地冷却收纳容器50内的收纳物。
如图2D所示,在出口侧开口56设置有狭缝,以防止小物品进入收纳容器50内。沿着收纳容器50的内表面的出口侧开口56形成有在横向上延伸的防风路遮断的肋56A。即使在收纳容器50中的出口侧开口56的附近存在收纳物的情况下,也能够利用防风路遮断的肋56A,防止出口侧开口56被收纳物堵塞而遮断收纳容器50内的气体的流动。同样,也能够沿着收纳容器50的内表面的入口侧开口54形成在横向上延伸的防风路遮断的肋。由此,即使在收纳容器50中的入口侧开口54的附近存在收纳物的情况下,也能够利用防风路遮断的肋,防止入口侧开口54被收纳物堵塞而遮断收纳容器50内的气体的流动。进而,也能够沿着收纳容器50的外表面50B的出口侧开口56设置引导气体流动的在横向上延伸的引导肋。由此,能够引导从收纳容器50流出的气体的流动。
在本实施方式中,入口侧开口54设置在收纳容器50的左侧上方,出口侧开口56设置在收纳容器50的右侧下方,但不限于此。相反,也可以是入口侧开口设置在收纳容器50的右侧上方,出口侧开口设置在收纳容器50的左侧下方。在该情况下,在图3A、图3B中,适合将收纳容器50配置在第一出风口16A的左侧。如上所述,收纳容器50不仅能够安装在设置于冷藏室7的搁架30A、30B的下侧,还能够安装在包括设置于冷冻室6的搁架的下侧在内的、在储藏室内的任意区域设置的搁架的下方。
如上所述,本实施方式的冰箱1具备:搁架30A,其设置在储藏室(冷藏室)7内;收纳容器50,其以可拆卸的状态安装在搁架30A的下侧;后侧卡合机构60,其使收纳容器50的后侧的区域与搁架30A或储藏室(冷藏室)7的内壁7A卡合;以及前侧拆装机构70,其使收纳容器50的前侧的区域与搁架30A以能够拆装的状态卡合。而且,收纳容器50的横向的长度比搁架30A的横向的长度短,能够变更收纳容器50的横向的安装位置。
采用本实施方式,通过后侧卡合机构60使收纳容器50的后侧的区域与搁架30A或储藏室(冷藏室)7的内壁7A卡合,通过前侧拆装机构70使收纳容器50的前侧 的区域与搁架30A卡合,由此能够将收纳容器50安装在搁架30A的下侧。特别是,使用者能够从近前侧操作前侧拆装机构70而容易地拆装收纳容器50。进而,收纳容器50的横向的长度比搁架的横向的长度短,使用者操作前侧拆装机构70,能够容易地变更收纳容器50的横向的安装位置。
由此,能够提供一种设置有可拆卸的收纳容器50的冰箱,该收纳容器在储藏室(冷藏室)7内的安装位置容易改变。
另外,在本实施方式的冰箱1中,供在(上侧)冷却风路10B内流动的气体流入储藏室(冷藏室)7内的(第一)出风口16A配置在搁架30A的下侧,在收纳容器50的一个侧面50A的接近(第一)出风口16A的后侧上方设置有供气体流入的入口侧开口54,在收纳容器50的另一个侧面50B的前侧下方设置有供流过收纳容器50内的气体流出的出口侧开口56。
气体从(上侧)冷却风路10B内流入储藏室(冷藏室)7内的(第一)出风口16A配置在搁架30A的下侧,在收纳容器50的一个侧面50A的接近(第一)出风口16A的后侧上方配置有入口侧开口54,因此能够将从(第一)出风口16A流入的气体直接引入到收纳容器50内。另一方面,由于出口侧开口56设置在另一个侧面50B的前侧下方,因此流入收纳容器50内的气体在收纳容器50内的大致整个区域流动,并从出口侧开口56流出。由此,能够有效地冷却收纳容器50内的收纳物。
另外,在本实施方式的冰箱1中,沿着收纳容器50的入口侧开口54和出口侧开口56形成有在横向上延伸的肋52A、54A、56A等。在沿着收纳容器50的外表面的入口侧开口54、出口侧开口56形成有在横向上延伸的引导肋52A、54A等的情况下,能够引导流入收纳容器50的气体、从收纳容器50流出的气体的流动,实现气体的有效流动。进而,在沿着收纳容器50的内表面的入口侧开口54、出口侧开口56形成有在横向上延伸的防风路遮断的肋56A等的情况下,即使在收纳容器50中的入口侧开口54、出口侧开口56的附近存在收纳物的情况下,也能够利用防风路遮断的肋56A等防止入口侧开口54、出口侧开口56被收纳物堵塞而遮断收纳容器50内的气体的流动。
(基于收纳容器的冷却控制)
图4是示出与本发明的一个实施方式的冰箱的冷却相关的控制系统框图。接下来,参见图3A、图3B及图4,对基于收纳容器50的冰箱1的冷却控制进行说明。
如图3A、图3B所示,在收纳容器50的引导肋54A的左侧的端部形成有内置有磁体92的检测用肋54B。另一方面,在冰箱1侧的第一出风口16A的右侧的开口附 近安装有接近传感器90。如图3B所示,在将收纳容器50接近第一出风口16A安装的情况下,由引导肋52A、54A包围的开口与第一出风口16A的右端的开口接近并对置地配置。在本实施方式中,在将收纳容器50接近出风口16A安装时,接近传感器90感知磁体92的磁力并发送信号。但是,也能够将磁体92设置在收纳容器50的其他区域。在该情况下,通过将接近传感器90安装在与新的磁体92的设置位置对应的位置,能够适当地检测出收纳容器50安装在第一出风口16A附近的位置。
使用通过磁体92的磁力使开关的簧片动作而接通簧片开关的磁接近传感器作为本实施方式的接近传感器90。但是,不限于此,也能够使用检测金属的感应式接近传感器、检测在检测体和传感器之间产生的静电电容的变化的静电电容式接近传感器。进而,也能够使用物理接触而接通开关的限位开关。
如图4所示,构成冰箱的控制系统的一部分的控制部100与接近传感器90电连接,接受检测数据(信号)。在收纳容器50安装在第一出风口16A的附近时,从接近传感器90接收检测数据(信号)。
另外,控制部100能够发送控制信号来控制压缩机21和风扇12的运转。压缩机21的转速是可变的,控制部100能够变更压缩机21的转速。在强化冷冻室6或冷藏室7的冷却的情况下,控制部100进行控制,使压缩机21以更高的转速运转。同样,风扇12的转速是可变的,控制部100能够变更风扇12的转速。在强化冷冻室6或冷藏室7的冷却的情况下,控制部100进行控制,使风扇12以更高的转速运转。
另外,控制部100能够向冷冻室风门13、冷藏室风门14发送控制信号,控制开闭。通过使压缩机21和风扇12运转,进行打开冷冻室风门13的控制,能够将通过了蒸发器24的气体向冷冻室6供给而冷却冷冻室6。同样,通过运行压缩机21和风扇12,进行打开冷藏室风门14的控制,能够将通过了蒸发器24的气体向冷藏室7供给而冷却冷藏室7。
在本实施方式中,在以由引导肋52A、54A包围的开口与第一出风口16A的右端的开口接近并对置的方式将收纳容器50接近第一出风口16A安装时,基于来自(接近)传感器90的信息,控制部100进行加强冷藏室7的冷却的控制。由此,能够使低温的气体较多地流入收纳容器50内,因此能够急速地冷却收纳容器50内的收纳物。如上所述,本实施方式的冰箱1具备检测收纳容器50是否接近冷气的出风口安装的(接近)传感器90,根据来自(接近)传感器90的信息,在判断为收纳容器50接近冷气的出风口16A安装时,进行加强储藏室(冷藏室)7的冷却的控制。由 此,能够更有效地冷却收纳容器50内的收纳物。
(冷却风路调整机构)
图5A是示意性地示出本发明的一个实施方式的冷却风路调整机构80的图,是示出风路未变窄的状态的俯视图。图5B是示出图5A的向视A-A的侧视图。图5C是示意性地示出本发明的一个实施方式的冷却风路调整机构80的图,是示出风路变窄的状态的俯视图。图5D是示出图5C的向视B-B的侧视图。接下来,参见图5A至图5D,对本发明的一个实施方式的冷却风路调整机构80进行说明。
如下所示,本实施方式的冷却风路调整机构80由叶片82、移动部件84及拉伸弹簧86构成。在上侧冷却风路10B,在第一出风口16A的位置的近上侧安装有旋转基座82A,在旋转基座82A能够自由旋转地安装有叶片82。如图5B、图5D所示(在图5A、图5C中省略了图示),在叶片82安装有拉伸弹簧86。拉伸弹簧86的一端安装在叶片82,拉伸弹簧86的另一端安装在形成上侧冷却风路10B的上侧分隔部件11B。由此,在叶片82与任何部件都不接触的状态下,如图5A、图5B所示,通过拉伸弹簧86的作用力,叶片82朝向大致垂直的方向。在该情况下,上侧冷却风路10B成为不变窄的状态。
在叶片82的右横侧配置有具有凸轮面84A的移动部件84。移动部件84能够在横向上移动。如图5A的箭头所示,当想要将收纳容器50安装在第一出风口16A的附近时,安装在引导肋54A的左端的检测肋54B与移动部件84接触,将移动部件84向左侧推压。由此,移动部件84的凸轮面84A与叶片82抵接,推压叶片82。通过向左侧移动的移动部件84的凸轮面84A,对叶片82的顶端侧施加向下的力。因此,叶片82的顶端克服拉伸弹簧86的作用力而向下方旋转。在收纳容器50安装在第一出风口16A附近的位置时,叶片82如图5C、5D所示成为倾斜的状态。在该情况下,上侧冷却风路10B成为变窄的状态。
由此,通过蒸发器24并在上侧冷却风路10B中流动的气体难以流向第一出风口16A的上侧。因此,能够从第一出风口16A向收纳容器50内供给更多流量的气体。当从第一出风口16A的附近拆下收纳容器50时,借助拉伸弹簧86的作用力,叶片82向图5A、图5B所示的大致垂直的方向返回,凸轮面84A被叶片82推压,移动部件84也返回右侧的位置。
冷却风路调整机构80也能够不使用拉伸弹簧86,而使用压缩弹簧、扭簧来对叶片82施力。另外,也能够不使用具有凸轮面84A的移动部件84,而使用利用了齿轮等的其他机构,使叶片82旋转。
进而,也能够利用马达等致动器使叶片82旋转。在该情况下,也能够使用上述接近传感器90。当根据来自接近传感器90的信息判断为收纳容器50接近第一出风口16A安装时,控制部100也能够控制致动器,以上侧冷却风路10B变窄的方式,使叶片82旋转。
如上所述,在本实施方式的冰箱1中,具备(上侧)冷却风路10B,该(上侧)冷却风路10B供通过了蒸发器24的气体流动,具有供气体流入储藏室(冷藏室)7内的高度方向的位置不同的多个出风口16A~16C,具备冷却风路调整机构80,该冷却风路调整机构80在收纳容器50安装在(第一)出风口16A的附近时,进行动作,使比在安装有收纳容器50的区域设置的(第一)出风口16A靠下游侧的(上侧)冷却风路10B变窄。
在本实施方式中,在收纳容器50接近(第一)出风口16A安装时,冷却风路调整机构80进行动作,以使比在安装有收纳容器50的区域设置的(第一)出风口16A靠下游侧的(上侧)冷却风路10B变窄。由此,能够向安装有收纳容器50的区域供给更多的气体,因此能够更有效地冷却收纳容器50内的收纳物。
在上述实施方式中,例示了出风口16A在前侧、左侧、右侧这三个方向上具有开口的情况,但不限于此。例如,也可以冷却风路被延伸到冷藏室的整个宽度方向的平板状的隔板与冷藏室分隔开,出风口仅具有前侧的开口。即使在该情况下,只要将收纳容器配置在出风口的附近,收纳容器的由引导肋包围的入口侧的空间以与出风口的前侧的开口对置的方式接近配置,就能够得到同样的作用效果。
虽然对本发明的实施方式、实施形态进行了说明,但是公开内容也可以在构成的细节部分进行变化,实施方式、实施形态中的要素的组合、顺序的变化等可以在不脱离所要求的本发明的范围和思想的情况下实现。
