Technical Field
The present invention relates to a support member for a refrigerator and a refrigerator having the same, and more particularly, to a support member for a refrigerator which regulates positions of a partition plate and a drawer type storage container, and a refrigerator having the same.
Background
In a general refrigerator, a drawer type storage container is provided inside a storage room such as a refrigerating room in order to improve storage performance.
When the drawer type storage container is disposed in the storage room, first, the inside of the storage room is partitioned in the vertical direction by a partition plate made of a plate-like member such as glass. Then, a drawer type storage container is disposed below the partition plate. In addition, holding mechanisms that slidably hold the storage container in the front-rear direction are disposed on both sides of the storage container. Such a structure of the storage container is disclosed in, for example, patent documents 1 to 3.
As a structure for guiding the storage container in the front-rear direction, the following structure is known. Specifically, the guide rail portion is formed by projecting a part of the left and right side surfaces of the storage container outward in a rail shape. Further, the inner side surface of the inner box is protruded inward to form a guide protrusion. The guide rail portion of the storage container is supported from below by the guide projection of the inner box. With this configuration, the storage container is supported inside the storage room so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The partition plate is also supported by a step portion formed inside the inner box.

Disclosure of Invention
However, in the refrigerator of the above-described structure, there are the following problems: it is difficult to place the storage container at a correct position inside the storage room. Specifically, since the inner box in which the storage compartment is formed by vacuum forming or the like, it is difficult to stably and accurately form the position and shape of the guide projection. Therefore, there is a problem that the position of the storage container supported by the guide projection deviates from the design value.
As described above, the partition plate covering the storage container from above is also supported by the step portion formed by vacuum forming. Therefore, when the position and shape of the stepped portion deviate from the design values, the position of the separator also deviates from the design values.
As described above, when the relative position between the storage container and the partition plate deviates from the design value, the clearance between the two becomes excessively large or small. As a result, a predetermined amount of cold air cannot be circulated through the gap, and the interior of the storage container cannot reach a predetermined temperature range, and the stored materials such as food items stored in the storage container cannot be appropriately cooled.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a support member for a refrigerator, which can position a storage container and a partition plate accurately relative to each other, and a refrigerator including the support member.

As shown in fig. 1(B), an insulated box 11, which is a main body of a refrigerator 10, includes an outer box 12 made of a steel plate having an open front surface, and an inner box 13 made of a synthetic resin, which is disposed with a gap from the inside of the outer box 12 and has an open front surface. A heat insulating material 14 made of foamed polyurethane is filled in a gap between the outer casing 12 and the inner casing 13. Similarly to heat-insulated box 11, heat-insulated doors 17 and 18 for closing freezing room 15 and refrigerating room 16 also have a heat-insulated structure.
The freezing chamber 15 and the refrigerating chamber 16 located at the lower stage thereof are partitioned by an insulating partition wall 23. The heat-insulating partition wall 23 also has a heat-insulating structure as in the heat-insulating box 11 described above.
A cooling chamber 19 is formed in the inner box 13 behind the freezing chamber 15. The freezing chamber 15 and the cooling chamber 19 are partitioned by a partition member 29. An evaporator, i.e., a cooler 21, for cooling air circulating in the refrigerator 10 is disposed in the cooling chamber 19. The cooler 21 is connected to a compressor 22, a radiator (not shown), and a capillary tube (not shown) via a refrigerant line (not shown), and constitutes a vapor compression refrigeration cycle. The cold air cooled by the cooler 21 is sent to the freezing chamber 15 and the refrigerating chamber 16 by the fan 20, thereby cooling the freezing chamber 15 to a freezing temperature range and cooling the refrigerating chamber 16 to a cooling temperature range. The interior of the refrigerating chamber 16 is partitioned by a partition 30 made of glass or a synthetic resin plate.
A structure in which the partition plate 30 and the drawer type storage container 31 are stored in the refrigerating compartment 16 will be described with reference to fig. 2 and 3. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the lower portion of the refrigerating compartment 16 viewed from the front upper side. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the inner box 13, the partition plate 30, and the drawer type storage container 31 separated from each other as viewed from the front and the top.
Referring to fig. 2, a drawer type storage container 31 is disposed directly below the partition plate 30. For example, the drawer type storage container 31 is a storage container for storing fresh foods such as vegetables, and is disposed at the lowermost portion of the refrigerating chamber 16 in a state of being able to be pulled out in the front-rear direction. The recessed portion 49 is formed by recessing an upper portion of the front surface of the drawer type storage container 31.

The guide portion 38 is formed substantially linearly from the vicinity of the front end to the vicinity of the rear end of the drawer type storage container 31. Further, the rail portion 38 is formed in a hollow shape, so that the drawer type storage container 31 can be reduced in weight.
The front contact portion 45 is formed by projecting the front end portion of the guide rail portion 38 downward in a substantially prismatic shape. Further, in the vicinity of the rear of the front contact portion 45, a lower protrusion portion 43 is formed by downwardly protruding the lower surface of the guide rail portion 38. Further, in the vicinity of the rear end portion of the guide rail portion 38, a rear contact portion 46 is formed by projecting the guide rail portion 38 downward.
Here, as described above, the rail portion 38 is also provided on the left side of the drawer type storage container 31, and the front contact portion 45, the lower projecting portion 43, and the rear contact portion 46 are also formed on the left rail portion 38.
Referring to fig. 4(B), the support member 32 includes a contact plate portion 35, a storage container guide portion 34, and a partition plate regulating portion 33. For example, the support member 32 is made of injection-molded synthetic resin. The support member 32 supports the front portions of the partition 30 and the drawer type storage container 31 shown in fig. 3.
The contact plate-like portion 35 is a plate-like member having a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the right side. The abutting plate-like portion 35 is formed to have the same size as the mounting portion 37 of the refrigerating compartment 16 shown in fig. 3. The left main surface of the contact plate-like portion 35 is in contact with the mounting portion 37 of the inner box 13 shown in fig. 3.
The partition plate regulating portion 33 is formed to protrude rightward from an upper portion of the abutment plate portion 35. A stepped portion 47 is formed in a middle portion of an upper surface of the partition plate restricting portion 33 in the front-rear direction. A flat support surface 48 is formed on the upper surface of the partition plate restricting portion 33 and behind the stepped portion 47. The separator restricting portion 33 has a hollow structure to reduce the weight. The spacer regulating portion 33 regulates the position of the spacer 30 shown in fig. 3.
The storage container guide portion 34 is formed to protrude rightward from a lower front portion of the abutment plate-like portion 35. The storage container guide 34 is substantially protruded in a quadrangular prism shape and has a hollow structure. The storage container guide 34 is a member for slidably guiding the rail portion 38 of the drawer type storage container 31 shown in fig. 4(a) from below.
Referring to fig. 4(C), a plurality of mounting holes 36 are formed through the contact plate-like portion 35. The support member 32 is fixed to a mounting portion 37 of the refrigerating compartment 16 shown in fig. 3 by a fastener such as a screw passing through the mounting hole 36.
As will be described in detail later, in a stored state in which the drawer type storage container 31 is stored in the refrigerating compartment 16, the front contact portion 45 and the lower protruding portion 43 of the drawer type storage container 31 are in contact with the storage container guide portion 34 of the support member 32. On the other hand, in the drawn state in which the drawer type storage container 31 is drawn out from the refrigerating compartment 16, the rear contact portion 46 of the drawer type storage container 31 contacts the storage container guide portion 34 of the support member 32.
The structure of the separator 30 will be described with reference to fig. 5. The bulkhead 30 has a bulkhead front 39 and a bulkhead rear 40. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the bulkhead front 39 and the bulkhead rear 40 separated in the front-rear direction.
The front portion 39 of the partition plate is made of synthetic resin which is injection molded into a substantially plate shape, and a groove 41 is formed in the rear portion thereof. A groove 41 is continuously formed from the left side end portion to the right side end portion of the bulkhead front 39. The recess 41 has a size capable of receiving the front end portion of the bulkhead rear 40.
The rear partition plate 40 is a plate-like member made of a glass plate or a transparent resin plate. The front end of the bulkhead rear 40 is inserted into the groove 41 of the bulkhead front 39. The rear end portion of the bulkhead rear portion 40 is supported by the rear side of the inner case 13 shown in fig. 3. Further, the left and right end portions of the bulkhead rear 40 are supported by the upper convex supporting portions 24 shown in fig. 3.
In fig. 6, a structure in which the support member 32 supports the separator 30 will be described. Fig. 6(a) is a perspective view of the partition plate 30 and the support member 32 as viewed from the rear lower side, and fig. 6(B) is a perspective view of the left support member 32 and the partition plate 30 in a state of being vertically separated as viewed from the rear lower side.
Referring to fig. 6(a), the support member 32 supports the rear end portion of the bulkhead front 39 from below. The bulkhead front part 39 is made of a relatively thick synthetic resin by injection molding, and has a mechanical strength greater than that of the bulkhead rear part 40 of the plate-like body. Thus, the support members 32 abut against both end portions of the bulkhead front 39 from below and support the bulkhead 30, and the position of the bulkhead 30 in the vertical direction can be accurately defined.
Referring to fig. 6(B), the lower protruding portion 42 is formed by protruding the left rear end portion of the partition front portion 39 downward in a quadrangular prism shape. The lower surface of the lower protruding portion 42 abuts against the support surface 48 of the partition plate restricting portion 33. Thereby, the position of the partition 30 in the up-down direction is defined. Further, the front face of the lower protruding portion 42 abuts against the step portion 47 of the separator restricting portion 33. Thereby, the position of the partition 30 in the front-rear direction is defined.
Here, although not shown, a lower protruding portion 42 is also formed at the right end portion of the bulkhead front portion 39, and the right lower protruding portion 42 is supported by the bulkhead restricting portion 33 provided in the right support member 32.
A structure in which the drawer type storage container 31 is supported by the storage container guide 34 of the support member 32 will be described with reference to fig. 7. Fig. 7(a) is a sectional view showing a lower portion of the refrigerating compartment 16, and fig. 7(B) is a sectional view showing an enlarged portion surrounded by a broken line in fig. 7 (a). In fig. 7(a) and 7(B), the support member 32 is shown by a broken line.
Referring to fig. 7(a) and 7(B), the upper surface of the container guide 34 abuts against the lower surface of the rail portion 38, thereby defining the position of the front portion of the drawer container 31 in the vertical direction.
When the drawer type storage container 31 is stored in the refrigerating compartment 16, the rear face of the front contact portion 45 of the guide rail portion 38 contacts the front face of the storage container guide portion 34 of the support member 32. Further, a lower projection portion 43 is disposed in the vicinity of the rear of the container guide portion 34. That is, the container guide portion 34 is sandwiched between the front contact portion 45 and the lower projecting portion 43 of the guide rail portion 38 in the front-rear direction. Thereby defining the position of the drawer type container 31 in the front-rear direction.
In the present embodiment, the partition plate 30 and the drawer type storage container 31 are supported by the support member 32. The relative positions of the partition 30 and the drawer type container 31 can be accurately defined. This ensures that the width L10 of the gap 44 between the partition board 30 and the drawer type container 31 has a predetermined length. Accordingly, the flow rate of the cold air flowing through the gap 44 can be set to a predetermined amount, and the inside of the drawer type storage container 31 can be cooled to a predetermined temperature range. This enables the stored items such as vegetables stored in the drawer type storage container 31 to be efficiently cooled and stored.
The partition plate regulating portion 33 and the storage container guide portion 34 constituting the support member 32 are integrally formed by injection molding. Therefore, the relative positional accuracy of the partition plate regulating portion 33 and the container guide portion 34 is extremely high. This also improves the accuracy of the relative position between the partition plate 30 supported by the partition plate regulating portion 33 and the drawer type storage container 31 supported by the storage container guide portion 34, and allows the gap 44 to have a predetermined size.
As shown in fig. 4C, the support member 32 is attached to an attachment portion 37 of the inner case 13 (fig. 3) by fasteners inserted through a plurality of attachment holes 36 formed in the abutment plate-like portion 35. This allows the support member 32 to be stably attached to a predetermined position.
Referring to fig. 8, another embodiment of the support member 32 will be described. Fig. 8(a) is a perspective view of the support member 32 as viewed from the upper right, and fig. 8(B) is a sectional view showing a state where the support member 32 regulates the positions of the partition plate 30 and the drawer type storage container 31.
Referring to fig. 8(a), the support member 32 shown here is different in shape of the separator restricting portion 33 from the support member 32 shown in fig. 3 (B).
