本発明は、冷蔵庫に関し、特に、その野菜室の冷却構成に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly to a cooling structure for a vegetable compartment of the refrigerator.
一般に家庭用冷蔵庫は、冷蔵室、冷凍室とともに野菜室を備えており、この野菜室は野菜室扉の引出し開閉によって出し入れされる野菜室容器を備えている。そして、上記野菜室容器はその後部の上面開口部分に小物収納容器を備えていて、前記野菜室容器と小物収納容器とで二つの収納部を構成し、収納物を冷却保存するようになっている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Generally, a home refrigerator has a vegetable compartment as well as a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, and this vegetable compartment has a vegetable compartment container that is put in and taken out by opening and closing a vegetable compartment door. The vegetable compartment container is provided with a small article storage container at the upper opening of the rear part thereof, and the vegetable compartment container and the small article storage container constitute two storage sections so that the stored article is cooled and stored. (For example, see Patent Document 1).
図１７は上記特許文献１記載の冷蔵庫を示し、１０１は野菜室、１０２は野菜室１０１の前面を開閉する引出式の野菜室扉、１０３は野菜室扉１０２の引出開閉に伴って出入りする野菜室容器、１０４は野菜室容器１０３の後部の上面開口に前後摺動自在に設けた小物収納容器である。 FIG. 17 shows the refrigerator described in Patent Document 1, 101 is a vegetable compartment, 102 is a drawer-type vegetable compartment door that opens and closes the front of the vegetable compartment 101, and 103 is vegetables that move in and out when the vegetable compartment door 102 is opened and closed. The chamber container 104 is an accessory storage container provided in the upper opening of the rear part of the vegetable chamber container 103 so as to be slidable back and forth.
上記冷蔵庫は、野菜室容器１０３に大物野菜を、小物収納容器１０４には果物や小物野菜等を分けて収納する。そして、上記各容器に収容した野菜や果物等の収納物は野菜室容器１０３及び小物収納容器１０４の外周を流れる冷気によって間接的に冷却するようになっている。具体的には、冷気は、野菜室容器１０３及び小物収納容器１０４の後方上部から下方に送られ、野菜室容器１０３の底面部の下方を前方に向けて通過した後、当該野菜室容器１０３の前方下部から上方に送られる。そして、冷気は、野菜室上部に配置された吸込み風路（図示せず）を通って冷却器に戻り、野菜室容器１０３及び小物収納容器１０４内の収納物を冷却する。 In the refrigerator, large vegetables are stored in the vegetable compartment container 103, and fruits, small vegetables, etc. are separately stored in the small storage container 104. The stored items such as vegetables and fruits contained in the above containers are indirectly cooled by the cold air flowing around the vegetable chamber container 103 and the small container container 104. Specifically, the cool air is sent downward from the upper rear portion of the vegetable compartment container 103 and the small article storage container 104, passes below the bottom surface of the vegetable compartment container 103 toward the front, and then the cold compartment of the vegetable compartment container 103 is cooled. It is sent upward from the lower front. Then, the cold air returns to the cooler through the suction air passage (not shown) arranged in the upper part of the vegetable compartment, and cools the contents in the vegetable compartment container 103 and the small article container 104.

A large plastic bottle such as drinking water or a paper pack can be stored and cooled in the front part, which is convenient.
また、野菜室容器１０３の上部は小物収納容器１０４を載置して塞ぐような形としているので、野菜室容器１０３内に冷却用の冷気が流れ込んで冷却室へと循環するのを制限でき、野菜室容器１０３内の野菜を乾燥させることなく鮮度を保ちながらの冷却保存ができる。 Moreover, since the upper part of the vegetable compartment container 103 is shaped so as to cover and close the small article container 104, it is possible to restrict the flow of cold air for cooling into the vegetable compartment container 103 and to circulate it to the cooling compartment. The vegetables in the vegetable compartment container 103 can be cooled and stored while maintaining their freshness without being dried.
しかしながら、上記野菜室容器１０３の上部に載置している小物収納容器１０４はその上面が開口したままであるため、野菜室１０１内の冷気の一部が流れ込んで流動し、保存期間が長引くと、冷気の流動による乾燥が生じるという課題が若干みられるものであった。 However, since the upper surface of the small article storage container 104 placed on the upper part of the vegetable compartment container 103 remains open, a part of the cold air in the vegetable compartment 101 flows and flows, and if the storage period is prolonged. However, there were some problems such as drying due to cold air flow.
本発明はこのような点に鑑みてなしたもので、小物収納容器内の収納物も長期間に亘って野菜室容器内の収納物と同等程度に新鮮に保存できる冷蔵庫の提供を目的としたもので

A first invention comprises a refrigerator main body, a vegetable compartment provided in the refrigerator main body, and a cooler for generating cold air to be supplied to the vegetable compartment, the vegetable compartment being a vegetable compartment container and an accessory placed on the upper part thereof. A refrigerator having a two-stage container consisting of a storage container, wherein cold air flows from the rear of the vegetable compartment to the front of the vegetable compartment through the bottom of the vegetable compartment to the cooler in the vegetable compartment. Along with the structure that flows so as to be sucked in, a gap between the front and rear ends of the opening of the small article storage container and the ceiling surface of the vegetable room is provided on the vegetable room ceiling surface facing the front and rear ends of the opening of the small article storage container on the vegetable room container. It is configured to have a sash to close it.
これにより、野菜室の後部から前部に向かって流れる冷気が小物収納容器内に流れ込んで冷却室へと通過するのを防止でき、小物収納容器内の果物や小物野菜等の乾燥を抑制して適度な保湿状態で保存することができる。 As a result, it is possible to prevent the cold air flowing from the rear part to the front part of the vegetable compartment from flowing into the small article storage container and passing through to the cooling room, and suppressing the drying of the fruits and small vegetables in the small article storage container. It can be stored in a moderately moisturized state.
第２の発明は、第１の発明において、前記小物収納容器の開口前端側の間隙はサッシュの下端と小物収納容器の開口前端上面との上下関係で塞ぎ、開口後端側の間隙はサッシュと開口後端の後面との前後方向の接触によって塞ぐ構成としてある。 In a second aspect based on the first aspect, the gap on the front end side of the opening of the small article storage container is closed by a vertical relationship between the lower end of the sash and the upper front face of the open front end of the small article storage container, and the gap on the rear end side of the opening is sash. It is configured to be closed by contact with the rear surface of the rear end of the opening in the front-rear direction.
これにより、小物収納容器は前後に摺動させる際、その開口前後端に対応して設けられている前後のサッシュに当って抵抗を受けるようなことがなくなり、果物や小物野菜等の乾燥を抑制しつつ小物収納容器を軽い力で前後に摺動させることができて使い勝手が向上する。 As a result, when the small item storage container is slid back and forth, the front and rear sashes provided corresponding to the front and rear ends of the opening do not come into contact with resistance, and the drying of fruits and small vegetables is suppressed. At the same time, the small container can be slid back and forth with a light force, improving usability.
第３の発明は、第１または第２の発明において、前記小物収納容器は前後摺動自在に配置し、かつ、野菜室天井面に設けた後側のサッシュは小物収納容器の開口後端の後面に接して小物収納容器の開口後端と野菜室天井面との間の間隙を塞ぐ構成とするとともに、野菜室天井面への取付け部となる装着部は前記小物収納容器の開口後端の間隙を塞ぐシール部と略同じ高さとした構成としてある。 3rd invention is a 1st or 2nd invention, Comprising: The said accessory storage container is arrange|positioned so that front-back slidable, and the rear sash provided in the vegetable compartment ceiling surface is the opening rear end of an accessory storage container. It is configured to close the gap between the rear end of the opening of the small item storage container and the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment by contacting the rear surface, and the mounting part that is an attachment part to the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment is located at the rear end of the opening of the small item storage container. It is configured to have substantially the same height as the seal portion that closes the gap.
これにより、経年変化等によってサッシュのシール部が変形して元の状態に復元しなくなり始めても小物収納容器の開口後端の後面がシール部を圧接し続ける形となるので、小物収納容器の後部から野菜室内へと供給される冷気が小物収納容器内に流れ込むのを確実に防止でき、小物収納容器内の果物や小物野菜等の乾燥を長期間に亘って確実に抑制することができる。 As a result, even if the seal part of the sash starts to deform and does not return to its original state due to aging, the rear surface of the rear end of the opening of the small container holds the seal part in contact with the rear part of the small container. It is possible to reliably prevent the cold air supplied from the inside of the vegetable compartment to flow into the small article storage container, and it is possible to reliably suppress the drying of fruits, small vegetables, and the like in the small article storage container for a long period of time.
第４の発明は、第３の発明において、前記後側のサッシュは野菜室天井面に設けた係合部に対し小物収納容器の押し込み方向に嵌合させて装着した構成としてある。 In a fourth aspect based on the third aspect, the rear sash is fitted and attached to an engaging portion provided on the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment in the pushing direction of the small article storage container.
これにより、後側のサッシュは小物収納容器の後方への押し込みによって野菜室天井面の係合部に嵌り込んでいく形となり、長期間使用していてサッシュの嵌合装着力が劣化してきても野菜室天井面から脱落するようなことを防止できる。したがって、小物収納容器内の果物や小物野菜等の乾燥を長期間に亘って確実に抑制しつつ信頼性を向上させることができる。 As a result, the sash on the rear side is inserted into the engaging portion on the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment by pushing the small item storage container rearward, and even if the sash fits and deteriorates after a long period of use. It can be prevented from falling off the ceiling of the vegetable room. Therefore, the reliability can be improved while reliably suppressing the drying of the fruits and vegetables in the small article storage container for a long period of time.
第５の発明は、第１〜第４の発明において、前記前側のサッシュはその下部を柔軟なヒレ部とするともに、前記ヒレ部の下端が小物収納容器の開口上端より下方に入り込まない寸法として小物収納容器の開口前端の上端部に対向させた構成としてある。 In a fifth aspect based on the first to fourth aspects, the front side sash has a flexible fin portion at its lower portion, and the lower end of the fin portion has a dimension that does not enter below the upper end of the opening of the small article storage container. It is configured to face the upper end of the front end of the opening of the small item storage container.
これにより、小物収納容器の開口前端側間隙を塞ぎつつ小物収納容器を前後動させたとき小物収納容器内に収容していた果物や小物野菜等が前側のサッシュのヒレ部下端に当るのを防止もしくはその確率を大幅に低減することができ、果物や小物野菜等の損傷を低減することができる。また、サッシュと果物や小物野菜等との接触抵抗によって野菜室容器の上部に載置しただけの小物収納容器がその前後動に支障を来すようなことも低減でき、野菜室容器を引き出した際に小物収納容器が冷蔵庫本体内に残っているというようなことの少ない使い勝手の良い冷蔵庫とすることができる。 This prevents the fruits and vegetables stored in the small container from hitting the lower end of the fin of the front sash when the small container is moved back and forth while closing the opening front end side gap of the small container. Alternatively, the probability can be significantly reduced, and damage to fruits and small vegetables can be reduced. In addition, the contact resistance between the sash and fruits, small vegetables, etc. can reduce the possibility that the small item storage container just placed on the upper part of the vegetable chamber container will hinder the forward and backward movement thereof. In this case, it is possible to make the refrigerator easy to use, in which the small item storage container does not remain in the refrigerator body.
第６の発明は、第１〜第５の発明において、前記野菜室は後部の左右いずれか一方側に冷気供給口を設けるとともに、前記冷気供給口と対角となる野菜室の前側上方位置に冷気吸込み口を設け、前側のサッシュは前記冷気吸込み口を除く小物収納容器の開口前端と野菜室天井面との間の間隙を塞ぐ構成としてある。 6th invention is a 1st-5th invention, WHEREIN: While said vegetable compartment is provided with the cold air supply port on either the right or left side of a rear part, in the front upper position of the vegetable room diagonally with the said cold air supply port. A cold air suction port is provided, and the sash on the front side closes the gap between the front end of the opening of the small article storage container excluding the cold air suction port and the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment.
これにより、冷気供給口から野菜室に供給された冷気は小物収納容器を載置した野菜室容器の底面を対角線状に流れて冷気吸込み口へと吸い込まれていくので、野菜室容器を広範囲に効率よく冷却することができ、野菜室容器内の野菜及び小物収納容器内の果物や小物野菜等を良好に冷却保存することができる。しかも、前記冷気吸込み口へと吸い込まれていく冷気の一部が小物収納容器の開口前端と野菜室天井面との間の間隙から小物収納容器内へ流入するのを防止でき、小物収納容器内の果物や小物野菜等の乾燥を確実に抑制して新鮮な状態で保存することができる。 As a result, the cold air supplied to the vegetable chamber from the cold air supply port flows diagonally through the bottom surface of the vegetable chamber container on which the small item storage container is placed and is sucked into the cold air suction port, so that the vegetable chamber container can be spread over a wide area. It is possible to cool efficiently, and it is possible to satisfactorily cool and store the vegetables in the vegetable compartment container and the fruits and small vegetables in the small item storage container. Moreover, it is possible to prevent a part of the cold air sucked into the cold air suction port from flowing into the small article storage container through the gap between the front end of the opening of the small article storage container and the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment. It is possible to surely prevent the fruits and small vegetables from drying and to store them in a fresh state.

なお、上記サッシュ２７、２８は図９では小物収納容器１５の開口前端１５ａ及び開口後端１５ｂ側に設けたように記載しているが、これはサッシュ２７、２８と小物収納容器１５の開口前端１５ａ及び開口後端１５ｂとの位置関係を理解しやすいようにするためであって、サッシュ２７、２８は前記したように野菜室天井面側に設けられている。 In FIG. 9, the sashes 27 and 28 are described as being provided on the opening front end 15a and the opening rear end 15b sides of the small article storage container 15, respectively. This is for facilitating understanding of the positional relationship between 15a and the rear end 15b of the opening, and the sashes 27 and 28 are provided on the ceiling surface side of the vegetable compartment as described above.
前側のサッシュ２７は、図４に示すように、風路形成体１６横の野菜室天井面と小物収納容器１５の開口前端との間の間隙ｔ１を塞ぐように装着されており、図１４、図１６（ａ）に示すように、略Ｕ字状断面を有する装着部２７ａと柔軟性を持つヒレ部２７ｂとからなっている。そしてこの前側のサッシュ２７はその装着部２７ａを野菜室天井面に形成されている後ろ向き凸部からなる前側係合部２９に圧入嵌合させて装着してあり、野菜室６内に収納された状態の小物収納容器１５の開口前端１５ａのフランジ上面にヒレ部２７ｂの下端が対向してこれにほぼ接するような形となっている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the front sash 27 is attached so as to close the gap t1 between the vegetable room ceiling surface beside the air duct forming body 16 and the opening front end of the small article storage container 15, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 16(a), it comprises a mounting portion 27a having a substantially U-shaped cross section and a fin portion 27b having flexibility.

The lower end of the fin portion 27b faces the upper surface of the flange of the opening front end 15a of the small article storage container 15 in such a state that it is substantially in contact with this.
更に、この前側のサッシュ２７は、そのヒレ部２７ｂの下端が小物収納容器１５の開口上端より下方に入り込まない寸法として小物収納容器の開口前端の上端部にほぼ接するような形で対向させ、野菜室天井面と小物収納容器１５の開口前端との間の間隙ｔ１を塞いでいる。 Further, the sash 27 on the front side is made to have a size such that the lower end of the fin portion 27b thereof does not enter below the upper end of the opening of the small article storage container 15 so that the sash 27 is substantially in contact with the upper end portion of the front end of the opening of the small article storage container. A gap t1 between the ceiling surface of the room and the front end of the opening of the small article storage container 15 is closed.
なお、上記サッシュ２７のヒレ部２７ｂ下端は小物収納容器１５の開口前端１５ａのフランジ上面に隙間なく接しているのが好ましいが、冷気が積極的に出入りできない程度の隙間が生じる、例えば１〜３ｍｍ程度までの隙間が生じるように設けられていてもよいものである。 It is preferable that the lower end of the fin 27b of the sash 27 is in contact with the upper surface of the flange of the opening front end 15a of the small article storage container 15 without a gap, but there is a gap in which cold air cannot actively enter and exit, for example, 1 to 3 mm. It may be provided so that a gap to some extent is formed.
また、後側のサッシュ２８は、図５に示すように、野菜室天井面と小物収納容器１５の開口後端との間の間隙ｔ２を塞ぐように装着されており、図１５、図１６（ｂ）に示すように、略Ｕ字状断面を有する装着部２８ａと柔軟性を持つ円弧ヒレ状のシール部２８ｂとからなっている。そしてこの後側のサッシュ２８はその装着部２８ａを野菜室天井面に形成されている前向き凸部からなる後側係合部３０に圧入嵌合させて装着してあり、野菜室６内に収納された状態の小物収納容器１５の開口後端１５ｂのフランジ後面にシール部２

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the rear sash 28 is attached so as to close a gap t2 between the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment and the rear end of the opening of the small article storage container 15, as shown in FIGS. As shown in b), it comprises a mounting portion 28a having a substantially U-shaped cross section and a flexible arc fin-shaped seal portion 28b. The rear sash 28 is mounted such that its mounting portion 28a is press-fitted into a rear engaging portion 30 formed of a forward-facing convex portion formed on the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment and is housed in the vegetable compartment 6. The seal portion 2 is provided on the rear surface of the flange of the opening rear end 15b of the small article storage container 15 in the opened state.
8b closely contacts and closes the gap t2. At this time, the rear sash 28 is configured such that the mounting portion 28a and the seal portion 28b in contact with the flange rear surface of the opening rear end 15b of the small article storage container 15 have substantially the same height.
また、前記野菜室天井面との間に冷気戻り風通路を形成する風路形成体１６は、図４に示すように、野菜室６の左側上部に設けてあり、その前面部１６ａには、冷気吸込み口３２が設けられている。上記冷気吸込み口３２は、図３に示すように、野菜室容器１４の前方空間１４ａ上方で、かつ、小物収納容器１５の前端面よりも前方に位置している。そして、この冷気吸込み口３２は、野菜室６内に冷気を供給する冷気供給口１７と対角線上に設けられている。すなわち、野菜室６の後側上方の右側に設けた冷気供給口１７と対角線上に位置するように形成され、冷気が野菜室６の左右方向にほぼ均一にいきわたり、冷気吸込み口３２より風路形成体１６内に吸い込まれるようになっている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, an air passage forming member 16 that forms a cool air return air passage between the vegetable compartment ceiling surface is provided on the upper left side of the vegetable compartment 6, and the front surface portion 16a thereof is A cold air suction port 32 is provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the cold air suction port 32 is located above the front space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 and in front of the front end surface of the small article storage container 15. The cold air suction port 32 is provided diagonally to the cold air supply port 17 that supplies cold air into the vegetable compartment 6. That is, it is formed so as to be located on a diagonal line with the cool air supply port 17 provided on the upper right side of the rear side of the vegetable compartment 6, and the cool air spreads almost uniformly in the left-right direction of the vegetable compartment 6 and the air passage from the cold air inlet 32. It is adapted to be sucked into the forming body 16.

A spare cold air suction port 32a is provided at 16b, and a reinforcing rib 16d is provided at the flat surface portion 16c.
以上のように構成された冷蔵庫について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。 The operation and action of the refrigerator configured as described above will be described below.
冷却器１１で生成された冷気は、送風機９によって冷蔵室２、冷凍室５とともに、野菜室６に供給され、野菜室６後部の上方部に設けた冷気供給口１７から流れ出る。 The cool air generated by the cooler 11 is supplied to the vegetable compartment 6 together with the refrigerating compartment 2 and the freezing compartment 5 by the blower 9 and flows out from the cold air supply port 17 provided in the upper part of the rear portion of the vegetable compartment 6.
野菜室６後部上方の冷気供給口１７から流れ出た冷気は、図５の風路Ｗ１で示すように、野菜室６内方で小物収納容器１５及び野菜室容器１４の後方を通って、野菜室容器１４の下方に流れる。そして、冷気は、野菜室６内方で野菜室容器１４の下方の後方から前方に流れる。さらに、冷気は、野菜室６内方で野菜室容器１４前方の下方から上方に流れる。 The cold air flowing out from the cold air supply port 17 above the rear of the vegetable compartment 6 passes through the rear of the small article storage container 15 and the vegetable compartment container 14 inside the vegetable compartment 6 as shown by the air passage W1 in FIG. Flows below container 14. Then, the cool air flows inside the vegetable compartment 6 from the rear below the vegetable compartment container 14 to the front. Further, the cold air flows inside the vegetable compartment 6 from below the front of the vegetable compartment container 14 to above.
この時、この実施の形態では、冷気は野菜室６の後部上方の右側に設けた冷気供給口１７から前部上方の左側に設けた冷気吸込み口３２へと野菜室６内を対角線上に流れるので、野菜室容器１４の底面を広範囲に効率よく冷却し野菜室容器１４に収容されている野菜やペットボトルを冷却する。 At this time, in this embodiment, the cool air flows diagonally in the vegetable compartment 6 from the cold air supply port 17 provided on the right side above the rear part of the vegetable compartment 6 to the cold air intake port 32 provided on the left side above the front part. Therefore, the bottom surface of the vegetable compartment container 14 is efficiently cooled over a wide range to cool the vegetables and PET bottles contained in the vegetable compartment container 14.
そして、この野菜室容器１４の前方の上方に流れてきた冷気は、風路Ｗ２で示すように、野菜室容器１４前壁の挿通孔部１９を通って、野菜室容器１４の前方空間１４ａに流入する。これにより、流入した冷気が、野菜室容器１４の前部の前方空間１４ａに収容されているペットボトルＰを、さらに冷却する。 Then, the cool air flowing upward in front of the vegetable compartment container 14 passes through the insertion hole portion 19 of the front wall of the vegetable compartment container 14 into the front space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 as shown by the air passage W2. Inflow. Thereby, the inflowing cold air further cools the plastic bottle P stored in the front space 14a in the front part of the vegetable compartment container 14.
そして、この冷気は、風路Ｗ３のように、前方空間１４ａの上方に配置される風路形成体１６の冷気吸込み口３２に向かって流れ、冷気吸込み口３２を通過し、風路形成体１６を通って、冷却器１１に戻る。 Then, the cold air flows toward the cold air intake port 32 of the air path forming member 16 arranged above the front space 14a, like the air path W3, passes through the cold air intake port 32, and passes through the air path forming member 16 To return to the cooler 11.
この時、上記野菜室容器１４の後方空間１４ｂ上部に載置した小物収納容器１５は、前記野菜室容器１４とともに野菜室６内を流れる冷気によって冷却されるが、小物収納容器１５は、その開口前端１５ａ及び開口後端１５ｂと野菜室天井面との間隙ｔ１、ｔ２がサッシュ２７、２８によって塞がれているので、冷気の流れ込みが防止され良好な冷却保存
が可能となる。
At this time, the small article storage container 15 placed on the upper part of the rear space 14b of the vegetable room container 14 is cooled by the cold air flowing in the vegetable room 6 together with the vegetable room container 14, but the small article storage container 15 has its opening. Since the gaps t1 and t2 between the front end 15a and the rear end 15b of the opening and the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment are closed by the sashes 27 and 28, cold air is prevented from flowing in and good cooling storage can be performed.
すなわち、小物収納容器１５の後側の開口後端１５ｂと野菜室天井面との間隙ｔ２はサッシュ２８によって塞がれているので、野菜室後方の前記冷気供給口１７から供給される冷気が小物収納容器１５内に流れ込むのを防止される。 That is, since the gap t2 between the rear opening 15b on the rear side of the small article storage container 15 and the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment is closed by the sash 28, the cool air supplied from the cold air supply port 17 at the rear of the vegetable compartment is small. It is prevented from flowing into the storage container 15.
また、小物収納容器１５の前側の開口前端１５ａと野菜室天井面との間隙ｔ１も前側のサッシュ２７が位置していて野菜室天井面との間の間隙ｔ１を塞いでいるので、図５のＷ２で示すように野菜室容器１４の前方空間１４ａに流入してきた冷気の一部が小物収納容器１５内に流入するのを防止される。そして、小物収納容器１５内の冷気が冷気吸込み口３２へと吸い込まれることも防止される。 Further, the gap t1 between the front opening end 15a on the front side of the small article storage container 15 and the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment also closes the gap t1 between the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment and the sash 27 on the front side. As shown by W2, a part of the cool air that has flowed into the front space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 is prevented from flowing into the small article storage container 15. Then, the cold air in the small article storage container 15 is also prevented from being sucked into the cold air suction port 32.
したがって、小物収納容器１５内では冷気がほぼ静止したままの状態となり、前側のサッシュ２７で完全に塞ぎきれない若干の間隙を介してごくわずかな冷気の出入りがあるとしても大部分の冷気は小物収納容器１５内から出入りするようなことがなくなる。すなわち、小物収納容器１５内では冷気の流れがなくなる。 Therefore, the cold air in the small article storage container 15 remains almost stationary, and most of the cold air is small even if a small amount of cold air enters and leaves through a small gap that cannot be completely blocked by the front sash 27. It does not come in and out of the storage container 15. That is, the cold air does not flow in the small article storage container 15.
その結果、小物収納容器１５内の果物や小物野菜等は冷気流動による乾燥を抑制され、野菜室容器１４に設けた後方空間１４ｂ内の野菜と同様適度な湿度を保った状態で良好に保存することができる。 As a result, the fruits and vegetables in the small article storage container 15 are suppressed from being dried by the cold air flow, and like the vegetables in the rear space 14b provided in the vegetable compartment container 14, they are appropriately stored in a state where the appropriate humidity is maintained. be able to.
更に、本実施の形態では前記小物収納容器１５の前面壁には湿度制御膜２３が設けてあるから、冷気の循環がなく冷気が滞留していても小物収納容器１５内の湿度を最適な湿度範囲に維持することができる。したがって、小物収納容器１５内の果物や小物野菜等を乾燥させないだけでなくほどよい湿度の中で新鮮さを保ちながら長期間冷却保存することができる。 Further, in this embodiment, since the humidity control film 23 is provided on the front wall of the small article storage container 15, even if the cool air does not circulate and the cool air stays, the humidity in the small article storage container 15 is set to the optimum humidity. Can be maintained in range. Therefore, it is possible not only to dry the fruits and vegetables in the small article storage container 15 but also to cool and store them for a long period of time while keeping the freshness in a proper humidity.
これは野菜室容器１４の後方空間１４ｂも同じで、野菜室容器１４内を前方空間１４ａと後方空間１４ｂに仕切る隔壁板２２に設けた湿度制御膜２３によって後方空間１４ｂ内の湿度も最適な範囲に維持することができ、野菜室容器１４内の野菜を乾燥させることなくほどよい湿度の中で新鮮さを保ちながら長期間冷却保存することができる。 The same applies to the rear space 14b of the vegetable compartment container 14, and the humidity control film 23 provided on the partition plate 22 that divides the interior of the vegetable compartment container 14 into the front space 14a and the rear space 14b provides an optimum humidity range in the rear space 14b. Therefore, the vegetables in the vegetable compartment container 14 can be cooled and stored for a long period of time while maintaining freshness in a suitable humidity without drying.
また、上記小物収納容器１５内の果物や小物野菜等は冷気の出入りがなくても良好に冷却することができる。 Further, the fruits and vegetables in the small article storage container 15 can be satisfactorily cooled without the inflow and outflow of cold air.
すなわち、上記小物収納容器１５は、野菜室容器１４内の冷気と冷却器１１へと流れる風路形成体１６内の冷気等によって上下から冷却されるが、野菜室容器１４内の冷気は野菜室６内を対角線上に流れる冷気により容器内全域でほぼ均一に冷却されており、また、風路形成体１６内の冷気は仕切板１２を介して冷凍室５からの冷輻射受け低温に維持されるから、良好に冷却することができる。 That is, the accessory storage container 15 is cooled from above and below by the cool air in the vegetable compartment container 14 and the cool air in the air duct forming body 16 flowing to the cooler 11, but the cool air in the vegetable compartment container 14 is 6 is cooled almost uniformly in the entire container by the cold air flowing in 6 inside, and the cold air in the air duct forming body 16 is maintained at a low temperature by receiving cold radiation from the freezer compartment 5 through the partition plate 12. Therefore, it is possible to cool it well.
詳述すると、この実施の形態では、野菜室６の後部上方の右側に冷気供給口１７を設けるとともに前部上方の左側に冷気吸込み口となる冷気吸込み口３２を設けて冷気が野菜室６内を対角線上に流れるようにしているので、野菜室容器１４を広範囲に効率よく冷却することができる。その結果、野菜室容器１４内の冷気は全域ほぼ均一にほどよく冷えており、その上部に位置する小物収納容器１５も全域にわたって良好に冷却することが可能となる。 More specifically, in this embodiment, the cold air supply port 17 is provided on the right side above the rear part of the vegetable compartment 6 and the cold air intake port 32 serving as the cool air intake port is provided on the left side above the front part, so that the cool air is in the vegetable compartment 6. Since it is made to flow diagonally, the vegetable compartment container 14 can be efficiently cooled in a wide range. As a result, the cold air in the vegetable compartment container 14 is cooled almost uniformly over the entire area, and the small-item storage container 15 located above it can be cooled well over the entire area.
また、上記小物収納容器１５の上方は野菜室６と冷凍室５とを区画する仕切板１２となっていて、その直下に風路形成体１６を配置した構成としてあるから、風路形成体１６を
通って冷却器１１へと流れる冷気は、冷凍室５の影響を受けて低温に維持されることとなり、冷凍室５からの冷輻射も加わって小物収納容器１５は上方からもほどよく冷却されることになる。特に、前記風路形成体１６はポリプロピレンなど熱伝導性を有する材料で形成しているから、風路形成体１６を流れる冷気の冷輻射を効率よく小物収納容器１５内へと輻射するので、良好な冷却が期待できる。
Moreover, since the partition plate 12 that divides the vegetable compartment 6 and the freezer compartment 5 is provided above the small article storage container 15, and the air duct forming body 16 is arranged immediately below the partition plate 12, the air duct forming body 16 is provided. The cold air flowing through the cooling chamber 11 to the cooler 11 is kept at a low temperature under the influence of the freezing chamber 5, and the cold radiation from the freezing chamber 5 is also added, so that the small article storage container 15 is appropriately cooled from above. Will be. In particular, since the air duct forming body 16 is formed of a material having thermal conductivity such as polypropylene, the cold radiation of the cool air flowing through the air duct forming body 16 is efficiently radiated into the small article storage container 15, which is preferable. Cooling can be expected.
したがって、この小物収納容器１５内の果物や小物野菜等は、冷気を入れなくても、冷却し過ぎない程度に、ほどよく冷却することができる。 Therefore, the fruits, vegetables, and the like in the accessory storage container 15 can be appropriately cooled to the extent that they are not overcooled even if cold air is not introduced.
また、前記野菜室天井面に設けた後側のサッシュ２８は小物収納容器１５の開口後端１５ｂのフランジ後面に対向させて配置してあるから、野菜室６内に小物収納容器１５が収まった状態ではサッシュ２８のシール部２８ｂが小物収納容器１５の開口後端１５ｂのフランジ後面に圧接して野菜室天井面と小物収納容器１５の開口後端１５ｂとの間の間隙ｔ２を前後方向で隙間なく閉じる形となる。 Further, since the rear sash 28 provided on the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment is arranged to face the rear surface of the flange of the opening rear end 15b of the small article storage container 15, the small article storage container 15 is accommodated in the vegetable compartment 6. In this state, the seal portion 28b of the sash 28 is pressed against the rear surface of the flange of the opening rear end 15b of the small article storage container 15 to form a gap t2 between the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment and the rear end opening 15b of the small article storage container 15 in the front-rear direction. It becomes a form without closing.
したがって、本実施の形態のように上記小物収納容器１５の開口後端１５ｂが野菜室６後部上方の冷気供給口１７近傍に位置していて冷気供給口１７からの冷気が小物収納容器１５の開口後端１５ｂから入り込み易い形となっていても、この冷気が小物収納容器１５内に入り込むのを確実に防止でき、小物収納容器１５内に冷気が入り込んで冷却器１１へと循環することにより生じる小物野菜等の乾燥を確実に防止することができる。 Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the opening rear end 15b of the small article storage container 15 is located in the vicinity of the cool air supply port 17 above the rear of the vegetable compartment 6, and the cool air from the cold air supply port 17 opens the small article storage container 15. Even if the rear end 15b can easily enter from the rear end 15b, the cold air can be surely prevented from entering the small article storage container 15, and the cold air enters the small article storage container 15 and is circulated to the cooler 11. It is possible to reliably prevent the drying of small vegetables and the like.
そして、上記の如く冷気供給口１７は野菜室６の後部上方に開口させたままとすることができるので、冷気を野菜室６の底部付近まで案内するガイド部材等を設ける必要がなくなり、コストダウンを図ることができる。 Since the cold air supply port 17 can be left open above the rear part of the vegetable compartment 6 as described above, it is not necessary to provide a guide member or the like for guiding the cold air to the vicinity of the bottom of the vegetable compartment 6, which reduces costs. Can be planned.
また、上記後側のサッシュ２８は断面Ｕ字状の装着部２８ａを野菜室天井面に設けた前向き凸部からなる後側係合部３０に嵌合させて装着してあるから、小物収納容器１５の出し入れによって当該装着部２８ａに加わる小物収納容器１５からの押し圧力は装着部２８ａを後側係合部３０の前向き凸部に嵌め込んでいくような形となる。 Further, the rear side sash 28 is mounted by fitting the mounting portion 28a having a U-shaped cross section into the rear side engaging portion 30 formed of the forward-facing convex portion provided on the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment. The pushing force from the small article storage container 15 applied to the mounting portion 28a when the mounting portion 28a is taken in and out is such that the mounting portion 28a is fitted into the forward-facing convex portion of the rear side engaging portion 30.
つまり、後側のサッシュ２８は小物収納容器１５の押し込み方向と同じ方向にその装着部２８ａを嵌合させてあるので、小物収納容器１５の挿入によってサッシュ２８に加わる押し圧力は前述した如く後側係合部３０の前向き凸部に装着部２８ａを嵌め込んでいくような形となり、長期間使用していてもサッシュ２８が野菜室天井面の後側係合部３０から脱落するようなことを防止できる。 In other words, since the mounting portion 28a of the sash 28 on the rear side is fitted in the same direction as the pushing direction of the small article storage container 15, the pressing force applied to the sash 28 by the insertion of the small article storage container 15 is as described above. The mounting portion 28a is fitted into the forward convex portion of the engaging portion 30, so that the sash 28 does not fall off from the rear engaging portion 30 of the vegetable room ceiling surface even after long-term use. It can be prevented.
特にサッシュ取付け部となる野菜室天井は冷凍室５の影響を受けて低温化するのでサッシュ２８の装着部２８ａも低温化して組成変形を起こし脆弱化しやすく、野菜室天井面への係合が小物収納容器１５の摺動方向と交差する方向であると、小物収納容器１５から加わる押し圧力によってサッシュ２８が脱落する可能性があるが、この実施の形態のように同一方向とすればそのような恐れもなく、長期間にわたってサッシュ２８の脱落等を防止できる。 In particular, since the ceiling of the vegetable compartment, which is the sash mounting portion, is affected by the freezing compartment 5 and the temperature thereof is lowered, the mounting portion 28a of the sash 28 is also liable to be fragile due to composition deformation, and the engagement with the ceiling surface of the vegetable compartment is small. If the direction intersects with the sliding direction of the storage container 15, the sash 28 may fall off due to the pressing force applied from the small product storage container 15, but if the same direction as in this embodiment, such a case occurs. Without fear, it is possible to prevent the sash 28 from falling off for a long period of time.
また、この実施の形態では前記サッシュ２８のシール部２８ｂは野菜室天井面の後側係合部３０に嵌合している装着部２８ａと略同じ高さとなるように構成してあるので、小物収納容器１５の開口後端１５ｂのフランジ後面で押圧されるシール部２８ｂは装着部２８ａに向かって略同一線上で圧縮変形するような形となり、長期間に亘って良好なシール性を確保することができる。 In addition, in this embodiment, the seal portion 28b of the sash 28 is configured to have substantially the same height as the mounting portion 28a fitted to the rear side engaging portion 30 of the vegetable room ceiling surface. The seal portion 28b pressed by the rear surface of the flange of the opening rear end 15b of the storage container 15 has a shape which is compressed and deformed substantially on the same line toward the mounting portion 28a, so that a good sealing property is ensured for a long period of time. You can
すなわち、上記構成でサッシュのシール部を装着部から下方に垂下するようにした場合
、シール部が小物収納容器に押されて時間の経過とともに装着部に対し傾斜変形したままとなり小物収納容器の開口後端の後面との間に隙間が生じるようなことになるが、この実施の形態の構成によればシール部２８ｂは変形が抑制されて圧接し続けるようになって、良好なシール性を確保することができる。
That is, in the above configuration, when the seal portion of the sash is hung downward from the mounting portion, the seal portion is pushed by the small article storage container and remains inclined and deformed with respect to the mounting portion with the passage of time, and the opening of the small article storage container is opened. Although a gap is formed between the rear end and the rear surface, the structure of this embodiment prevents the seal portion 28b from being deformed and is kept in pressure contact with the seal portion 28b, thus ensuring good sealability. can do.
よって、小物収納容器１５内の果物や小物野菜等は長期間に亘って確実に乾燥を抑制し適度な湿度を保ったまま新鮮な状態で保存することができ、信頼性を向上させることができる。 Therefore, fruits, small vegetables, and the like in the small article storage container 15 can be reliably stored in a fresh state for a long period of time while reliably suppressing the drying and maintaining an appropriate humidity, and the reliability can be improved. ..
また、小物収納容器１５の前側の開口前端１５ａと野菜室天井面との間の間隙ｔ１を塞ぐ前側のサッシュ２７は、そのシール部２７ｂ下端が小物収納容器１５の開口前端１５ａの上端部と対向する形として、前記間隙ｔ１を上下方向で塞ぎ、小物収納容器１５の開口上端より下方に突入しない構成としてあるから、小物収納容器１５を前後に摺動させるとき小物収納容器１５内に収容していた果物や小物野菜が前側のサッシュ２７の下端縁に当るのを防止もしくはその確率を大幅に低減できる。 In addition, the front side sash 27 that closes the gap t1 between the front opening front end 15a of the small article storage container 15 and the vegetable room ceiling surface has the lower end of the sealing portion 27b facing the upper end of the opening front end 15a of the small article storage container 15. Since the gap t1 is closed in the vertical direction and does not protrude downward from the upper end of the opening of the small article storage container 15, the small article storage container 15 is housed in the small article storage container 15 when sliding back and forth. It is possible to prevent or significantly reduce the probability that the fruits and small vegetables hit the lower edge of the front sash 27.
したがって、果物や小物野菜等の収納物の損傷を低減することができる。また、サッシュ２７と収納物との接触抵抗によって野菜室容器１４の上部に載置しただけの小物収納容器１５がその前後動に支障を来すような頻度も低減できる。例えば、野菜室容器１４を引き出した際に小物収納容器１５が前記サッシュ２７と果物や小物野菜等との接触抵抗により冷蔵庫本体１内に残ったままとなって、別途引出作業を行わなければならなくなる、というような支障が生じることを低減でき、使い勝手の良い冷蔵庫とすることができる。 Therefore, damage to the stored items such as fruits and small vegetables can be reduced. In addition, the contact resistance between the sash 27 and the stored items can reduce the frequency at which the small item storage container 15 simply placed on the upper portion of the vegetable compartment container 14 hinders its forward and backward movement. For example, when the vegetable compartment container 14 is pulled out, the small article storage container 15 remains in the refrigerator body 1 due to the contact resistance between the sash 27 and the fruits, small vegetables, etc., and a separate pulling operation must be performed. It is possible to reduce the occurrence of troubles such as disappearing, and it is possible to make the refrigerator easy to use.
しかも、この小物収納容器１５はこれまでの説明から明らかなように、開口前端１５ａ側の間隙ｔ１はサッシュ２７のヒレ部２７ｂ下端と小物収納容器１５の開口前端１５ａ上面との上下関係で塞ぎ、開口後端１５ｂ側の間隙ｔ２はサッシュ２８のシール部２８ｂと開口後端１５ｂの後面との前後方向の接触によって閉じるようになっている。これにより、小物収納容器１５は前後に摺動させる際、その開口前端１５ａがサッシュ２７に、開口後端１５ｂがサッシュ２８に接して抵抗を受けるようなことを防止できる。したがって、小物収納容器１５は軽い力で前後に摺動させることができ、使い勝手が向上する。 In addition, as is apparent from the above description, the small article storage container 15 closes the gap t1 on the opening front end 15a side by the vertical relationship between the lower end of the fin 27b of the sash 27 and the upper surface of the opening front end 15a of the small article storage container 15. The gap t2 on the opening rear end 15b side is closed by the front-back contact between the seal portion 28b of the sash 28 and the rear surface of the opening rear end 15b. This prevents the opening front end 15a from coming into contact with the sash 27 and the opening rear end 15b from coming into contact with the sash 28 and receiving resistance when the small article storage container 15 slides back and forth. Therefore, the small article storage container 15 can be slid back and forth with a light force, and the usability is improved.
以上のように、この冷蔵庫は、小物収納容器１５内の果物や小物野菜等を乾燥させることなく適度な湿度で冷却することができるものであるが、更に次のような作用効果も併せ持つので、説明しておく。 As described above, this refrigerator is capable of cooling fruits and small vegetables in the small article storage container 15 at an appropriate humidity without drying, but since it also has the following operational effects, I will explain.
まず、この冷蔵庫は、前記小物収納容器１５の前端面より前方部分に冷気戻り用の冷気吸込み口３２を設けた構成としてあるので、冷却運転停止時も野菜室容器１４の後方空間１４ｂ内の野菜を冷却しすぎることなく前方空間１４ａのペットボトル等のみを効率よく冷却することができる利点がある。 First, since this refrigerator has a configuration in which the cold air suction port 32 for returning cold air is provided in the front portion of the front end surface of the small article storage container 15, the vegetables in the rear space 14b of the vegetable chamber container 14 are stopped even when the cooling operation is stopped. There is an advantage that only the plastic bottle and the like in the front space 14a can be efficiently cooled without overcooling.
すなわち、冷蔵庫は、野菜室６内の温度調節のために、冷気の流れを一時的に停止させ、野菜室６内の温度が低下しすぎるのを抑制するが、その際、冷気が図５の風路Ｗ４で示すように、風路形成体１６を通って逆流してくることがある。この時、逆流してきた冷気は風路Ｗ４のように、前方空間１４ａの上方の冷気吸込み口３２から、前方空間１４ａに向けて冷気が流入することになり、その結果、野菜室容器１４前部の前方空間１４ａに収容されたペットボトルＰのみを効率よく冷却できる。 That is, the refrigerator temporarily stops the flow of cold air in order to control the temperature in the vegetable compartment 6 and suppresses the temperature in the vegetable compartment 6 from dropping too much. As shown by the air passage W4, the air may flow back through the air passage forming member 16. At this time, the cold air that has flowed back flows into the front space 14a from the cool air suction port 32 above the front space 14a, as in the air passage W4, and as a result, the front portion of the vegetable compartment container 14 is cooled. Only the plastic bottle P stored in the front space 14a can be efficiently cooled.
また、この実施の形態では、野菜室容器１４の区画壁部２０に冷気通過孔２１が設けてあるので、図５および図１２の風路Ｗ５で示すように野菜室容器１４の底部を前方へと流れる冷気の一部が野菜室容器１４の前方空間１４ａと後方空間１４ｂとの間に形成されて
いる区画壁部２０の段差部に当って分流し前記冷気通過孔２１から前方空間１４ａへと流れ込む。
Further, in this embodiment, since the cold air passage hole 21 is provided in the partition wall portion 20 of the vegetable compartment container 14, the bottom portion of the vegetable compartment container 14 is moved forward as shown by the air passage W5 in FIGS. 5 and 12. A part of the cold air that flows is diverted by colliding with the stepped portion of the partition wall portion 20 formed between the front space 14a and the rear space 14b of the vegetable compartment container 14 from the cold air passage hole 21 to the front space 14a. Pour in.
この区画壁部２０の冷気通過孔２１からの冷気は前方空間１４ａに配置したペットボトルＰ等の下部に供給され、野菜室容器１４前壁の挿通孔部１９から風路形成体１６の冷気吸込み口３２へと流れる冷気では十分に冷却しきれないペットボトルの下部も冷却できる。したがって、前方空間１４ａに配置したペットボトル等はその全体を効率よく冷却することができる。 The cold air from the cold air passage hole 21 of the partition wall portion 20 is supplied to the lower portion of the plastic bottle P or the like arranged in the front space 14a, and the cold air suction of the air duct forming body 16 is performed from the insertion hole portion 19 of the front wall of the vegetable compartment container 14. The lower part of the PET bottle, which cannot be sufficiently cooled by the cold air flowing into the mouth 32, can also be cooled. Therefore, the entire PET bottle or the like arranged in the front space 14a can be efficiently cooled.
更に、この実施の形態の野菜室容器１４は、その後方空間１４ｂの上面部が小物収納容器１５によって塞がれる形となっているので、後方空間１４ｂに冷気が流れ込むことが抑制される。したがって、冷気が流れることによって懸念される後方空間１４ｂ内の野菜の乾燥も抑制でき、適度な湿度に保って良好な冷却保存が可能となる。 Further, since the vegetable chamber container 14 of this embodiment has a shape in which the upper surface of the rear space 14b is closed by the small item storage container 15, cold air is prevented from flowing into the rear space 14b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vegetables in the rear space 14b from being dried due to the flow of cold air, and it is possible to maintain an appropriate humidity and perform good cooling storage.
さらに、上記野菜室容器１４は、その前方空間１４ａと後方空間１４ｂとの間を区画壁部２０と隔壁板２２によって仕切っているので、前方空間１４ａに流れ込んだ冷気が後方空間１４ｂへ流れ込むのを阻止され、そのまま前方空間１４ａの上方の冷気吸込み口３２に向かって流れる。このため、野菜室容器１４の後部の後方空間１４ｂに収容されている野菜へは、この冷気が流れにくく、収容されている野菜を冷却しすぎることなくほどほどに冷却することができる。 Furthermore, since the vegetable chamber container 14 is partitioned by the partition wall 20 and the partition plate 22 between the front space 14a and the rear space 14b thereof, the cold air flowing into the front space 14a is prevented from flowing into the rear space 14b. It is blocked and flows as it is toward the cool air suction port 32 above the front space 14a. Therefore, the cold air does not easily flow to the vegetables stored in the rear space 14b at the rear of the vegetable chamber container 14, and the stored vegetables can be cooled moderately without overcooling.
以上のように、この実施の形態の冷蔵庫は、ペットボトルＰ等が収容される野菜室容器１４の前方空間１４ａに対しては、通過する冷気によって、積極的に冷却しつつ、野菜が収容される野菜室容器１４の後方空間１４ｂや、果物や小物野菜等が収容される小物収納容器１５に対しては、冷気を入れることなく、冷却し過ぎない程度に、冷却をすることができる。そして、野菜室容器１４の前方空間１４ａに対しては、後方空間１４ｂの底部附近から冷気を流し込むことによって内部に収容している収納物をその下部から冷却するとともに、野菜室容器１４の前壁前方から野菜室上部の冷気吸込み口３２へと流れる冷気によって収納物の上部を冷却でき、野菜室容器１４の前方空間１４ａに収容した収納物を効果的に冷却することができる。 As described above, in the refrigerator according to the present embodiment, vegetables are stored in the front space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14 in which the plastic bottle P and the like are stored, while being actively cooled by the cold air passing therethrough. The rear space 14b of the vegetable compartment container 14 and the small article storage container 15 in which fruits, small vegetables, etc. are stored can be cooled to the extent that it is not overcooled without introducing cold air. Then, with respect to the front space 14a of the vegetable compartment container 14, by cooling air flowing from the vicinity of the bottom of the rear space 14b, the contents stored inside are cooled from the lower part thereof, and the front wall of the vegetable compartment container 14 is cooled. The upper part of the stored items can be cooled by the cool air flowing from the front to the cold air suction port 32 in the upper part of the vegetable chamber, and the stored items stored in the front space 14a of the vegetable chamber container 14 can be effectively cooled.
また、この実施の形態の冷蔵庫は、前記した野菜室容器１４及び小物収納容器１５を透明な材料で形成してあるので、従来の非透明な材料からなる容器に比べ深みがあって重厚感を醸し出すような形となり、見栄えが良く、品位を高めて高級感を持たせることができる。そして、冷蔵庫本体１から野菜室容器１４を引き出した際、野菜室容器１４及び小物収納容器１５の奥部分に収容している野菜等を側面から視認することができ、特に深い収納空間となっている野菜室容器１４の奥部分に収納され上下に重なっている下方の野菜もその上部の野菜等を取り上げなくても視認することができ、使い勝手が向上する。 Further, in the refrigerator of this embodiment, since the vegetable compartment container 14 and the small article storage container 15 described above are made of transparent materials, they have a deeper and more solid feeling than conventional containers made of non-transparent materials. It has an exhilarating shape, looks good, and can be of high quality and high quality. Then, when the vegetable compartment container 14 is pulled out from the refrigerator main body 1, the vegetables and the like accommodated in the inner portions of the vegetable compartment container 14 and the small article storage container 15 can be visually recognized from the side, and a particularly deep storage space is provided. The lower vegetables, which are stored in the inner part of the vegetable compartment container 14 and are vertically stacked, can be visually recognized without picking up the upper vegetables and the like, and the usability is improved.
また、上記野菜室容器１４及び小物収納容器１５の後壁面、特に野菜室容器１４の後壁面は野菜室後部の冷気供給口１７から供給されてくる冷気がその後壁外面に沿って流れるので結露が生じ、これが目につくようになるので、透明化したことによる高級感を損なう恐れがある。しかしながら上記後壁には微細なシボ２５が施してあるので、この結露を目立たなくすることができ、透明化したことによる高級感を良好に維持することができる。 In addition, since the cool air supplied from the cool air supply port 17 at the rear of the vegetable chamber flows along the outer wall surface of the vegetable compartment container 14 and the small article storage container 15, especially the rear wall surface of the vegetable compartment container 14, dew condensation occurs. As it occurs, it becomes noticeable, which may impair the high-class feeling due to the transparency. However, since the fine wrinkles 25 are formed on the rear wall, this dew condensation can be made inconspicuous, and a high-class feeling due to the transparency can be favorably maintained.
また、野菜室容器１４の底面部にも同様に冷気が流れることによって結露が生じ、更に後壁等に生じた結露水が流下してくるが、この結露水は野菜室容器１４内の底面に配置した底面皿２６下方の隙間に入り込んで見えなくなるので高級感を損なうのを防止できる。 Similarly, dew condensation occurs due to cold air flowing on the bottom surface of the vegetable compartment container 14, and the dew condensation water generated on the rear wall and the like flows down. It is possible to prevent the appearance of luxury from being impaired because it cannot be seen because it enters the gap below the bottom plate 26 that is arranged.
特にこの実施の形態では、前記底面皿２６はステンレス材料で形成してあるので、結露
水を見えなくするだけではなく野菜室容器１４底面の見栄えを大きく向上させることができ、容器透明化により向上させた高級感を一段とアップさせることができる。
In particular, in this embodiment, since the bottom plate 26 is formed of a stainless material, not only can the dew condensation water be invisible, but the appearance of the bottom of the vegetable compartment container 14 can be greatly improved, and the container can be made transparent. You can further enhance the sense of luxury.
