本発明は、冷蔵庫の缶冷却装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a can cooling device for a refrigerator.

一般に、飲料入りの缶等を冷却する場合には、冷蔵庫の冷蔵室に入れて冷却していたが、冷却されて適温になるまでには、相当の時間が掛かるという問題があった。   In general, when cooling a beverage can or the like, it is cooled in a refrigerator compartment of a refrigerator. However, there is a problem that it takes a considerable amount of time until the product is cooled to an appropriate temperature.

そこで、近年では、冷蔵庫本体内で、缶を横向き状態にして回転させることにより、中味を対流させて迅速に冷却することを目的する急冷装置が開発されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   Therefore, in recent years, a quenching device has been developed that aims to quickly cool the convection of the contents by rotating the can in a sideways state in the refrigerator body (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図８は、特許文献１に記載された従来の冷蔵庫の缶冷却装置の要部縦断面図である。図８に示すように、冷蔵庫本体１はそれぞれ前面扉が設けられた複数の食品保存室から成り、外箱２と内箱３及び両箱間に充填された発泡ウレタン等の断熱材４により構成されている。この冷蔵庫本体１の内部は断熱作用のある仕切壁８により仕切られ、上部より冷蔵室５、野菜室６、冷凍室（図示せず）などを備えており、冷蔵室５前面開口は開閉可能な回動式の扉（図示せず）により閉塞可能であり、野菜室６や冷凍室は引出し式の扉（図示せず）により夫々閉塞されている。前記の各扉は、夫々鋼板から成る扉外箱と硬質樹脂材料から成る扉内箱との間に発泡ウレタン等の断熱材を充填して構成される。   FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of a main part of a conventional refrigerator can cooling device described in Patent Document 1.

図１、図２、図３において、冷蔵庫１００は、断熱壁１０１により区画形成された冷蔵室１０２、野菜室１０３、製氷室１０４、切替室１０５、冷凍室１０６により構成されている。ここで、冷蔵室１０２の前面には回転扉１０２ａが回動可能に取り付けられており、野菜室１０３の前面には扉１０３ａが、製氷室１０４の前面には扉１０４ａが、切替室１０５の前面には扉１０５ａが、冷凍室１０６の前面には扉１０６ａが、前面に向けて水平移動可能に取り付けられている。   1, 2, and 3, the refrigerator 100 includes a refrigerator compartment 102, a vegetable compartment 103, an ice making compartment 104, a switching compartment 105, and a freezing compartment 106 that are partitioned by a heat insulating wall 101. Here, a revolving door 102 a is rotatably attached to the front of the refrigerator compartment 102, the door 103 a is on the front of the vegetable compartment 103, the door 104 a is on the front of the ice making compartment 104, and the front of the switching room 105. The door 105a is attached to the front of the freezer compartment 106 so that the door 106a can move horizontally toward the front.

容器１０８は、内部に飲料が封入された缶及びペットボトルであり、主要部分は略円筒形状をなしている。   The container 108 is a can and a plastic bottle in which a beverage is enclosed, and a main part has a substantially cylindrical shape.

急冷装置１１０は、回転扉１０２ａの外面に配設されており、主に駆動体１２０と、冷却手段１３０とから構成されている。   The rapid cooling device 110 is disposed on the outer surface of the rotary door 102a, and mainly includes a driving body 120 and a cooling means 130.

駆動体１２０は、主に支持部材１２１と、回転体１２５から構成されている。   The driving body 120 mainly includes a support member 121 and a rotating body 125.

支持部材１２１は、回転扉１０２ａの外面に固定されており、支持部材１２１の内部には、縦方向に配設されたモータ１２２と、上方に向けられたモータシャフト１２２ａの先端に固定された略円筒形の磁石１２３が収納されている。ここで、モータ１２２は、冷蔵庫本体１００に構成された制御部１０７に接続されており、制御部１０７の信号により運転、停止を行う。また、支持部材１２１の上面には、モータ１２２の回転軸、つまりモータシャフト１２２ａを中心として、所定半径を有する凹部１２４が形成されている。   The support member 121 is fixed to the outer surface of the revolving door 102a. Inside the support member 121, there is a motor 122 disposed in the vertical direction and a substantially fixed fixed to the tip of the motor shaft 122a facing upward. A cylindrical magnet 123 is accommodated. Here, the motor 122 is connected to the control unit 107 configured in the refrigerator main body 100 and is operated and stopped by a signal from the control unit 107. Further, a recess 124 having a predetermined radius is formed on the upper surface of the support member 121 with the rotation axis of the motor 122, that is, the motor shaft 122a as the center.

回転体１２５は、支持部材１２１の上面に配置されており、上面を開口した略円筒形の容器である。ここで、回転体１２５の上面開口部、つまり断面凹形状部は、容器１０８の底部がはまり込むような形状となっており、凹部内面には比較的摩擦抵抗が大きく軟性を有するカバー１２６が形成されている。また、回転体１２５の底面には、略円筒形の磁石１２７が内蔵され、かつ下方に向けて凸部１２８が形成されている。このとき、支持部材１２１上に回転体１２５が配置された状態において、磁石１２７と凸部１２８はモータシャフト１２２ａと同心上に位置し、凹部１２４と凸部１２８ははまり込むように構成されており、指示部材１２１の上面と回転体１２５の下面には所定の隙間が形成されている。さらに、この状態においては、モータ１２２に固定された磁石１２３と回転体１２５に内蔵された磁石１２７が対向してトルクを伝達する。   The rotating body 125 is a substantially cylindrical container that is disposed on the upper surface of the support member 121 and has an upper surface opened. Here, the opening on the upper surface of the rotating body 125, that is, the concave section of the cross section is shaped such that the bottom of the container 108 fits in, and a cover 126 having a relatively high frictional resistance and softness is formed on the inner surface of the concave section. Has been. In addition, a substantially cylindrical magnet 127 is built in the bottom surface of the rotating body 125, and a convex portion 128 is formed downward. At this time, in a state where the rotating body 125 is disposed on the support member 121, the magnet 127 and the convex portion 128 are positioned concentrically with the motor shaft 122a, and the concave portion 124 and the convex portion 128 are configured to fit. A predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the indicating member 121 and the lower surface of the rotating body 125. Further, in this state, the magnet 123 fixed to the motor 122 and the magnet 127 built in the rotating body 125 face each other and transmit torque.

冷却手段１３０は、回転扉１０２ａの外面に固定されたペルチェ素子であり、ペルチェ素子の冷却面１３１を冷蔵庫本体の外面に配置した。ここで、容器１０８が急冷装置に取り付けられた状態において、冷却面１３１は、容器１０８の胴部に当接するように構成されている。また、冷却手段１３０は、冷蔵庫本体１００に構成された制御部１０７に接続されており、制御部１０７の信号により運転、停止を行う。   The cooling means 130 is a Peltier element fixed to the outer surface of the rotary door 102a, and the cooling surface 131 of the Peltier element is disposed on the outer surface of the refrigerator body. Here, in a state where the container 108 is attached to the quenching device, the cooling surface 131 is configured to abut on the body portion of the container 108. The cooling unit 130 is connected to the control unit 107 configured in the refrigerator main body 100, and is operated and stopped by a signal from the control unit 107.

操作スイッチ１４０は、回転扉１０２ａに固定されており、押しボタン式のスイッチである。ここで、操作スイッチ１４０は、冷蔵庫本体１００に構成された制御部１０７に接続されており、操作スイッチ１４０の操作により制御部１０７に急冷運転の指示が行われる。   The operation switch 140 is fixed to the rotary door 102a and is a push button type switch. Here, the operation switch 140 is connected to the control unit 107 configured in the refrigerator main body 100, and the operation of the operation switch 140 instructs the control unit 107 to perform a rapid cooling operation.

以上のように構成された急冷装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the quenching apparatus comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

まず、ユーザの手により、容器１０８が回転体１２５に取り付けられる。   First, the container 108 is attached to the rotating body 125 by the user's hand.

次に、操作スイッチ１４０をユーザが操作することで、制御部１０７からの信号により冷却手段１３０がまず運転状態となり、冷却面１３１の温度が低下する。   Next, when the user operates the operation switch 140, the cooling unit 130 is first in an operating state by a signal from the control unit 107, and the temperature of the cooling surface 131 decreases.

さらに、所定時間経過後、モータ１２２に対して、制御部１０７から運転信号が送られ、モータ１２２が回転する。   Furthermore, after a predetermined time has elapsed, an operation signal is sent from the control unit 107 to the motor 122, and the motor 122 rotates.

ここで、モータ１２２に固定された磁石１２３と、回転体１２５に内蔵された磁石１２７が対向しているので、モータ１２２の回転により回転体１２５も回転する。このとき回転体１２５の上面凹部に形成されたカバー１２６の摩擦力により、回転体１２５に連動して容器１０８は、胴部側面を冷却面１３１に当接させながら回転する。   Here, since the magnet 123 fixed to the motor 122 and the magnet 127 built in the rotating body 125 are opposed to each other, the rotating body 125 is also rotated by the rotation of the motor 122. At this time, due to the frictional force of the cover 126 formed in the upper surface recess of the rotating body 125, the container 108 rotates while the body side surface is in contact with the cooling surface 131 in conjunction with the rotating body 125.

さらに、駆動体本体２３０は、主にモータ２３１と、ケーシング２３２とにより構成されている。   Further, the driving body 230 is mainly composed of a motor 231 and a casing 232.

モータ２３１は、回転扉１０２ａの内部に縦方向に配設されており、上方に向けられたモータシャフト２３３の先端には、第１摩擦車２３４が取り付けられている。ここで、第１摩擦車２３４の外周は、回転扉１０２ａの外部に露出することのないように構成されている。   The motor 231 is disposed in the vertical direction inside the rotary door 102a, and a first friction wheel 234 is attached to the tip of the motor shaft 233 facing upward. Here, the outer periphery of the first friction wheel 234 is configured not to be exposed to the outside of the rotary door 102a.

ケーシング２３２は、回転扉１０２ａの外部に取り付けられており、ケーシング２３２が略垂直方向に倒立する第１位置と、ケーシング２３２が略水平状態となる第２位置との間を回動可能となっている。   The casing 232 is attached to the outside of the rotary door 102a, and is rotatable between a first position where the casing 232 is inverted in a substantially vertical direction and a second position where the casing 232 is in a substantially horizontal state. Yes.

ここで、ケーシング２３２の内部には、伝動部材２３５と、第２摩擦車２３６がそれぞれ回転可能に構成されている。伝動部材２３５は、ケーシング２３２の上面方向近傍に配設された略円筒形の磁石２３５ａと、磁石２３５ａの下部の第３摩擦歯車２３５ｂとから構成されており、磁石２３５ａと第３摩擦歯車２３５ｂは一体となって回転する。   Here, in the casing 232, a transmission member 235 and a second friction wheel 236 are configured to be rotatable. The transmission member 235 includes a substantially cylindrical magnet 235a disposed near the upper surface of the casing 232, and a third friction gear 235b below the magnet 235a. The magnet 235a and the third friction gear 235b are Rotate together.

第２摩擦車２３６は、第３摩擦歯車２３５ｂに当接して動力を伝達するように、第３摩擦歯車２３５ｂに対して冷蔵庫本体１００側に配設されている。   The second friction wheel 236 is disposed on the refrigerator main body 100 side with respect to the third friction gear 235b so as to contact the third friction gear 235b and transmit power.

このとき、ケーシング２３２が略水平状態となる第２位置以外においては、回転扉１０２ａの内部に位置する第１摩擦車２３４と、ケーシング２３２内に配設された第２摩擦車２３６が当接しないように構成されている。   At this time, except for the second position where the casing 232 is in a substantially horizontal state, the first friction wheel 234 located inside the rotary door 102a and the second friction wheel 236 disposed in the casing 232 do not contact each other. It is configured as follows.

上部支持部材２４０は、回転扉１０２ａの外部に取り付けられたリング状の支持部材であり、上部支持部材２４０が略垂直方向に倒立する第１位置と、上部支持部材２４０が略水平状態となる第２位置との間を回動可能となっている。   The upper support member 240 is a ring-shaped support member attached to the outside of the revolving door 102a, and a first position where the upper support member 240 is inverted in a substantially vertical direction and a first position where the upper support member 240 is in a substantially horizontal state. It can be rotated between two positions.

連結部材２４１は、ケーシング２３２と、上部支持部材２４０に対してそれぞれ回動可能に取り付けられた機構部材である。ここで、連結部材２４１により、ケーシング２３２と、上部支持部材２４０とが機構的に連結されているので、ケーシング２３２が略垂直方向に倒立する第１位置においては、上部支持部材２４０も同様に第１位置となり、ケーシング２３２が略水平状態となる第２位置においては、上部支持部材２４０も同様に第２位置となる。   The connecting member 241 is a mechanism member that is rotatably attached to the casing 232 and the upper support member 240. Here, since the casing 232 and the upper support member 240 are mechanically connected by the connecting member 241, the upper support member 240 is also in the same manner at the first position where the casing 232 is inverted in a substantially vertical direction. At the second position where the casing 232 is in a substantially horizontal state, the upper support member 240 is also in the second position.

保持部材２５０は、主に蓄冷材２５１と、断熱カバー２５２で構成されている。   The holding member 250 mainly includes a cold storage material 251 and a heat insulating cover 252.

蓄冷材２５１としては、例えば公知のエチレングリコールやプロピレングリコールの水溶液のような有機性ブライン、水溶性高分子の水溶液と前記有機性ブラインの混合物等をプラスティック袋に入れて使用することが望ましく、形状としては上面を開口した筒形状である。   As the regenerator material 251, it is desirable to use an organic brine such as a known aqueous solution of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, a mixture of an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymer and the organic brine, etc. in a plastic bag. As for, it is the cylinder shape which opened the upper surface.

断熱カバー２５２は、上面を開口した樹脂製の略円筒容器であり、上面には外周に向けてフランジ２５３が構成されている。さらに断熱カバー２５２の下面中央には、磁石２５４が構成されている。   The heat insulating cover 252 is a substantially cylindrical container made of resin with an upper surface opened, and a flange 253 is formed on the upper surface toward the outer periphery. Furthermore, a magnet 254 is formed at the center of the lower surface of the heat insulating cover 252.

ここで、保持部材２５０は、蓄冷材２５１と断熱カバー２５２が着脱可能であり、断熱カバー２５２の内部に蓄冷材２５１が具備された状態で、容器１０８を蓄冷材２５１内部にはめ込んだ状態で、急冷装置２１０に取り付けられる。   Here, in the holding member 250, the regenerator material 251 and the heat insulating cover 252 are detachable, the regenerator material 251 is provided inside the heat insulating cover 252, and the container 108 is fitted inside the regenerator material 251. It is attached to the quenching device 210.

急冷装置２１０が使用可能なとき、つまりケーシング２３２及び上部支持部材２４０が同様に第２位置であるとき、容器１０８をはめ込んだ保持部材２５０を急冷装置２１０に取り付けた状態においては、伝動部材２３５の回転中心と、断熱カバー２５２の回転中心が直線上に並び、磁石２３５ａと磁石２５４が対向してトルクを伝達できる状態となる。さらに、フランジ２５３の下面が、上部支持部材２４０の上面に当接する。   When the quenching device 210 is usable, that is, when the casing 232 and the upper support member 240 are also in the second position, in the state where the holding member 250 fitted with the container 108 is attached to the quenching device 210, the transmission member 235 The rotation center and the rotation center of the heat insulating cover 252 are arranged in a straight line, and the magnet 235a and the magnet 254 face each other so that torque can be transmitted. Further, the lower surface of the flange 253 contacts the upper surface of the upper support member 240.

以上のように構成された急冷装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the quenching apparatus comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

まず、急冷装置２１０が使用されていない状態においては、ユーザの手によりケーシング２３２及び上部支持部材２４０は同様に第１位置にあり、操作スイッチを万が一ユーザが誤操作した場合でも、モータ２３１および第１摩擦車２３４は回転するが、いずれも回転扉１０２ａの内部に収納されていることから危険性は少なく、外部に露出する第２摩擦車２３６に回転動力が伝達されることはない。   First, when the quenching device 210 is not used, the casing 232 and the upper support member 240 are similarly in the first position by the user's hand, and even if the user accidentally operates the operation switch, Although the friction wheel 234 rotates, since both are housed in the rotary door 102a, there is little danger, and rotational power is not transmitted to the second friction wheel 236 exposed to the outside.

次に、急冷装置２１０を使用する場合、ユーザの手によりケーシング２３２及び上部支持部材２４０は同様に第２位置に移動される。このとき、回転扉１０２ａの内部に位置する第１摩擦車２３４と、ケーシング２３２内に配設された第２摩擦車２３６は当接しているので、モータ２３１の動力は伝動部材２３５に伝達される。   Next, when the quenching apparatus 210 is used, the casing 232 and the upper support member 240 are similarly moved to the second position by the user's hand. At this time, since the first friction wheel 234 located inside the rotary door 102a and the second friction wheel 236 disposed in the casing 232 are in contact with each other, the power of the motor 231 is transmitted to the transmission member 235. .

ここで、あらかじめユーザの手により冷蔵庫本体１００のいずれかの貯蔵室で冷却されていた蓄冷材２５１は、容器１０８および断熱カバー２５２と共に急冷装置２１０に取り付けられ、操作スイッチ１４０をユーザが操作することで、制御部１０７からの信号によりモータ２３１が回転する。このモータ２３１の回転により、第１摩擦車２３４、第２摩擦車２３６、伝動部材２３５を介して伝えられた動力は、保持部材２５０と共に容器１０８を回転させる。よって、所定時間経過後、モータ２３１の運転を自動的に停止するまで、蓄冷材２５１からの熱伝導に加え、容器１０８内部の飲料の対流により、迅速かつ均一に容器１０８内部の飲料は冷却されることになる。   Here, the cool storage material 251 that has been cooled in any storage chamber of the refrigerator main body 100 in advance by the user's hand is attached to the quenching device 210 together with the container 108 and the heat insulating cover 252, and the user operates the operation switch 140. Thus, the motor 231 is rotated by a signal from the control unit 107. Due to the rotation of the motor 231, the power transmitted through the first friction wheel 234, the second friction wheel 236, and the transmission member 235 rotates the container 108 together with the holding member 250. Therefore, the beverage inside the container 108 is cooled quickly and uniformly by the convection of the beverage inside the container 108 in addition to the heat conduction from the cold storage material 251 until the operation of the motor 231 is automatically stopped after the predetermined time has elapsed. Will be.

さらに、保持部材２５０は、蓄冷材２５１の外周を断熱カバー２５２で覆っているので、保持部材２５０の外面に結露が発生することはない。   Furthermore, since the holding member 250 covers the outer periphery of the regenerator material 251 with the heat insulating cover 252, condensation does not occur on the outer surface of the holding member 250.

さらに、保持部材２５０が上面を開口した断熱カバー２５２で覆われており、保持部材２５０および容器１０８を縦向きに回転させることにより、断熱カバー２５２内で発生した結露水は、蓄冷材２５１と容器１０８の間の隙間を塞ぐので、隙間が形成されている状態に比べて、蓄冷材２５１と容器１０８の間の熱伝達率が向上する。   Furthermore, the holding member 250 is covered with a heat insulating cover 252 whose upper surface is opened. By rotating the holding member 250 and the container 108 in the vertical direction, condensed water generated in the heat insulating cover 252 Since the gap between 108 is closed, the heat transfer coefficient between the cool storage material 251 and the container 108 is improved as compared with the state in which the gap is formed.

さらに、モータ２３１を回転扉１０２ａの内部に収納したことで、急冷装置２３０の回転扉１０２ａの外部に露出部分をコンパクトにすることができる。   Furthermore, since the motor 231 is housed inside the revolving door 102a, the exposed portion can be made compact outside the revolving door 102a of the quenching device 230.

さらに、ケーシング２３２および上部支持部材２４０が第１位置と第２位置の間を回動可能であるので、急冷装置２１０を使用しない場合は、駆動体２２０の冷蔵庫本体から成す距離を小さくすることができる。   Furthermore, since the casing 232 and the upper support member 240 can rotate between the first position and the second position, the distance formed from the refrigerator main body of the driving body 220 can be reduced when the quenching device 210 is not used. it can.

さらに、摩擦車によりモータ２３１の動力を容器１０８に伝えるので、歯車を使用した伝達方法等に比べて、低騒音化が可能になる。   Furthermore, since the power of the motor 231 is transmitted to the container 108 by a friction wheel, noise can be reduced compared to a transmission method using gears.

また、摩擦車によりモータ２３１の動力を容器１０８に伝えるので、ケーシング２３２およびが上部支持部材２４０を、第１位置から第２位置へ切り替える作業が容易である。   Further, since the power of the motor 231 is transmitted to the container 108 by the friction wheel, the casing 232 and the operation of switching the upper support member 240 from the first position to the second position are easy.

以上のように本実施の形態の給水容器は、本実施の形態では、冷蔵庫本体１００の外壁に容器１０８を回転させるために設けられ、冷蔵庫本体１００より電源を供給されている駆動体２２０と、軟性を有する蓄冷材２５１からなり駆動体２２０と共に容器１０８を保持する保持部材２５０とからなり、容器１０８に当接した保持部材２５０が容器１０８と共に回転することにより、容器表面での回転による摺動を防止することとなり、容器が破損することはない。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the water supply container of the present embodiment is provided to rotate the container 108 on the outer wall of the refrigerator main body 100 and is supplied with power from the refrigerator main body 100. The holding member 250 is made of a soft regenerator material 251 and holds the container 108 together with the driving body 220. When the holding member 250 in contact with the container 108 rotates together with the container 108, sliding by rotation on the container surface. The container will not be damaged.

また、断熱カバー２５２の下面中央に配設された磁石２５４と、駆動体２２０に配設された磁石２３５ａを対向させてトルクを伝えることにより、容器１０８を取り付けた保持部材２５０を駆動体２２０に置くだけでトルク伝達が可能となり、急冷装置の操作性が向上する。   Further, the magnet 254 disposed in the center of the lower surface of the heat insulating cover 252 and the magnet 235a disposed in the driving body 220 are opposed to each other to transmit the torque, whereby the holding member 250 attached with the container 108 is transferred to the driving body 220. Torque can be transmitted simply by placing it, improving the operability of the quenching device.

また、蓄冷材２５１が、一端を開口した筒形状であることにより、蓄冷材２５１と容器１０８の接触面積が大きくなり、冷却時間を短縮することができる。   In addition, since the cold storage material 251 has a cylindrical shape with one end opened, the contact area between the cold storage material 251 and the container 108 is increased, and the cooling time can be shortened.

また、蓄冷材２５１の外周に断熱カバー２５２を配設したことにより、保持部材２５０の外面への結露が抑制されることとなり、蓄冷材２５１の熱ロスを低減することができる。   Further, by disposing the heat insulating cover 252 on the outer periphery of the cold storage material 251, condensation on the outer surface of the holding member 250 is suppressed, and heat loss of the cold storage material 251 can be reduced.

また、略円筒形の容器１０８は、駆動体２２０により容器１０８の下面を支持され、胴の軸方向を縦向きに回転することにより、保冷部材２５０と容器１０８の間に形成される隙間に結露水が溜まって熱移動が促進されることとなり、冷却時間を短縮することができる。   The substantially cylindrical container 108 is supported on the lower surface of the container 108 by the driving body 220 and rotates in the axial direction of the trunk in the vertical direction, so that condensation is formed in a gap formed between the cold insulation member 250 and the container 108. Water accumulates and heat transfer is promoted, and the cooling time can be shortened.

また、モータ２３１が回転扉１０２ａの内部に収納されているので、モータ２３１が冷蔵庫本体１００の庫外に露出しないこととなり、駆動体２２０の庫外における省スペース化が可能となる。   In addition, since the motor 231 is housed inside the revolving door 102a, the motor 231 is not exposed outside the refrigerator main body 100, and space saving outside the refrigerator of the driving body 220 is possible.

また、ケーシング２３２および上部支持部材２４０が第１位置と第２位置の間を回動可能であるので、急冷装置２１０を使用しない場合は、駆動体２２０が冷蔵庫本体から成す距離を小さくすることができる。   In addition, since the casing 232 and the upper support member 240 can rotate between the first position and the second position, when the quenching device 210 is not used, the distance formed by the drive body 220 from the refrigerator main body can be reduced. it can.

また、モータ２３１は、摩擦により容器１０８にトルクを伝達することにより、ギヤ等を使用せずにトルクを伝達することとなり、急冷装置２３０の低騒音化が可能になる。   Further, the motor 231 transmits torque to the container 108 by friction, thereby transmitting torque without using a gear or the like, and the noise of the quenching device 230 can be reduced.

なお、本実施例においては、急冷装置２１０を回転扉１０２ａの外部に取り付けたが、急冷装置２１０が第１位置と第２位置の間を移動可能である、つまり急冷装置２１０を使用しない場合には、折りたたんで壁面に収納可能である本実施冷では、回転扉１０２ａの内壁に急冷装置２１０を構成しても、冷蔵庫の内容積に与える影響を最小限に抑えて急冷が可能となる。   In this embodiment, the quenching device 210 is attached to the outside of the rotary door 102a. However, the quenching device 210 can move between the first position and the second position, that is, when the quenching device 210 is not used. In this embodiment cooling, which can be folded and stored on the wall surface, even if the quenching device 210 is configured on the inner wall of the rotary door 102a, the quenching can be performed with minimal influence on the internal volume of the refrigerator.

以上のように、本発明にかかる急冷装置は、冷蔵庫の外で容器を急冷することができるので、庫内に急冷専用のスペースを設けることなく容器の急冷が可能となることから、業務用冷蔵庫の用途にも適用できる。   As described above, since the quenching apparatus according to the present invention can quench the container outside the refrigerator, the container can be rapidly cooled without providing a dedicated space for quenching inside the refrigerator. It can be applied to other uses.
