Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily open/close a cooler chamber. <P>SOLUTION: A cooler 19 and chamber fans 20 on both the upper and lower sides of the cooler 19 are stored within the cooler chamber. A maintenance cover 34 vertically divided into two parts is stretched on a front surface of the cooler chamber. On a side surface of the cooler chamber bordering with a storing chamber of food materials, a cooler cover 40 formed with a suction port 41 is stretched at a position corresponding to the cooler 19, and chamber fan covers 44 formed with blow-off ports 45 are stretched at positions corresponding to the upper and lower chamber fans 20. Each of the cooler cover 40 and the chamber fan covers 44 is stretched to be supported oscillatably to a depth side by hinges 42. When parts within the cooler chamber are inspected, the maintenance cover 34 is removed to open the front surface. When a failure, etc., is found in the inspection work and repair and parts exchange are performed, the pertinent cover 40 or 44 is individually oscillated and opened after extracting a tray, etc., to the outside of the chamber. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

The means for mounting the L-shaped cover 8 which has become Therefore, for example, when inspecting the cooler 5 in the cooler chamber 3 or the fan 6 in the refrigerator, or replacing parts, first remove the tray 7 and the rail that receives it, and a shelf post that supports the rail as necessary. After removing the cover 8, it was necessary to loosen the screws at a number of places to remove the cover 8, which was very troublesome. Further, when the cover 8 is put in and taken out of the refrigerator, for example, it is difficult to work because the large cover 8 needs to be put in and taken out while avoiding the partition frame 9 arranged so as to partition the front opening of the main body 1 into upper and lower parts. There was a problem. The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to:
This is to make it easier to open and close the cooler room.

単となる。<Advantages and effects of the invention><Invention of claim 1> When inspecting the components in the cooler chamber, it is possible to quickly perform the inspection only by removing the front cover. On the other hand, even when repairing or replacing parts, it is sufficient to remove only the corresponding side cover of the divided parts, that is, the number of screws to remove is small, and it is easy to take it out of the refrigerator, and eventually You can work efficiently. <Invention of Claim 2> Since the front cover is divided into a plurality of small ones, it is easy to handle when putting it in and out of the refrigerator. <Invention of Claim 3> When the side cover is opened, the screw or the like on the swing end side is removed to swing the hinge around the hinge. Since one edge is supported by the hinge, the number of attachments / detachments of screws and the like can be further reduced, and alignment and the like can be eliminated even when reclosing, and as a result, the work of opening / closing the side cover is further simplified.

The shelf pillars are respectively erected, and a pair of rails facing each other are arranged in multiple stages, and both sides of the tray are placed on both rails to be taken in and out from the front. At this time, since the space between the opposing shelf columns is slightly wider than the width of the tray, there is a risk that the food material placed on the tray column may be hit against the shelf column on the front side to drop the placed foodstuffs. In this respect, according to the present invention, even if the position before inserting the tray is slightly shifted, the tray can be smoothly placed on both rails while being guided by the guide surface formed on the front cover of the cooler chamber or the shelf itself.

ができる。Here, the tray 58 is formed to have a width slightly smaller than the space between the left and right shelf posts 50 so that the rail 55 can be stably supported with the rail 55 made as small as possible. on the other hand,
When the tray 58 is supported on the rails 55, in particular, the cool air can circulate well outside the left side edge of the tray 58.
Left shelf columns 50C and 50D are provided so as to project from the left side wall 10B. Therefore, particularly when the tray 58 is inserted, there is a possibility that the foodstuffs placed on the left and right front shelf pillars 50A and 50C may be hit and dropped. In that respect, in this embodiment, on the right shelf post 50A side, an oblique right guide surface 60A is formed by the maintenance cover 34 covering the front side of the shelf post 50A, and on the left shelf post 50C side, Left diagonal surface 6 on the front side of the shelf 50C itself
Since 0B is formed, as shown in FIG. 7, even if the position when inserting the tray 58 is slightly deviated in the left-right direction,
While being guided by the guide surfaces 60A and 60B, the rails 55 can be placed smoothly on the left and right rails 55.

If the wires connected to each part are also grouped on the front side, it is easy to check the continuity and voltage. After the inspection is completed, the maintenance cover 34 is reattached. However, since the maintenance cover 34 is divided into two pieces and each is small in size, even one worker can relatively easily perform the attachment work such as screwing.

を取り付ければよい。When a failure or the like is found in the above inspection work and repair or replacement of parts is to be carried out, the tray 58 is pulled out of the refrigerator and the covers 40 and 44 are individually opened. For example, when there is a failure in one of the upper and lower internal fan 20, the rail 55 arranged at the position of the corresponding internal fan cover 44 and, if necessary, the rail 55 on the opposite side are removed. At the same time, the swing end of the in-compartment fan cover 44 is removed from the shelf 50A by loosening the screw 46, and the outlet 45 is also removed from the bell mouth 26.
As shown in FIG. 5, the inside fan cover 44 is swung around the hinge 42 toward the inner surface of the storage chamber 16. As a result, the installation position of the internal fan 20 is opened to the storage chamber 16 side, so that repair, replacement of parts, etc. can be performed from the storage chamber 16 side. After the parts are replaced, the internal fan cover 44 is rocked back to its original position, and then the rocking end and the air outlet 45 are screwed and fixed, and the rail 55 is also used.

The moving end is removed from the shelf 50A by loosening the screw 46, and is swung toward the inner surface of the storage chamber 16. As a result, the installation position of the cooler 19 is opened to the storage chamber 16 side, so that repair, replacement of parts, etc. can be performed from the storage chamber 16 side. After replacing the parts, etc., swing the cooler cover 40 back to its original position and then fix the swing end with screws.
Further, the rail 55 may be attached.

When inspecting the components such as the cooler 19 and the internal fan 20 in the cooler chamber 17, the maintenance can be quickly performed by only removing the front maintenance cover 34. Further, since the maintenance cover 34 is divided into two small ones, it is easy to handle when putting it in and out of the refrigerator. On the other hand, also when repairing or replacing the components in the cooler chamber 17, it is sufficient to open only the corresponding covers 40 and 44 of the divided parts.
In particular, since the inner edges of the covers 40 and 44 are swingably supported by the hinges 42, the number of screws to be removed is small, and even when the covers are reclosed, alignment or the like can be omitted. That is, the work of opening and closing the covers 40 and 44 is simplified, and consequently the work of repairing or replacing parts can be performed efficiently.
