【考案の詳細な説明】 本案は冷蔵庫の改良構成に関し、特に制御機器を装設す
る取付部材に付着した露水の処理を良好にしたものであ
る。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improved configuration of a refrigerator, and in particular improves the treatment of dew water adhering to a mounting member on which a control device is installed.

従来此種冷蔵庫は、冷却器に隣接して温度調節器や庫内
灯用スイッチなどの制御機器を装設した取付部材を配設
するが、冷却器に近隣した取付部材の立上壁内外両面に
は結露しやすかった。Conventionally, this type of refrigerator has a mounting member equipped with control equipment such as a temperature regulator and a switch for interior lights adjacent to the cooler, but the mounting member is attached to both the inside and outside of the rising wall adjacent to the cooler. It was easy to condense.

この結露水は壁面を伝って流下するが、外表面よりも内
表面に付着した露水の処理は困難であり、取付部材内底
部に溜って腐敗し汚損したり、制御機器を濡らして故障
の原因となっていた。This condensed water flows down the wall surface, but it is more difficult to dispose of the dew water that adheres to the inner surface than the outer surface, and it accumulates at the bottom of the mounting member, rotting and staining it, or wetting control equipment and causing malfunctions. It became.

も少なく、しかも制御機器の損傷も防止出来る。This proposal was developed in view of the above points, and the lower part of the rising wall of the mounting member in the shape of a modified casing is shaped like a step above the dew pan placed opposite to the lower part of the cooler, and this rising wall The vertical part is positioned above and opposite to the inside of the dew pan, and a water hole is provided at the lower end to drain the dew water flowing down the inner surface of the vertical part to the dew pan. Even if the mounting member is placed close to the cooler, the condensed water adhering to both the inside and outside surfaces of the upright wall can be drained well, and the condensed water can be received in the dew pan, making it hygienic. There is less chance of dripping on the floor surface of the storage room and wetting or staining the stored items, and furthermore, damage to control equipment can be prevented.

本案の一実施例を以下図について説明する。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

１は内箱２、外箱３及び該両箱２，３間に発泡充填した
断熱材４等より構成する冷蔵庫本体で、前記内箱２等に

却するための冷媒サイクルを形成する冷却器６を配設し
ている。Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator main body composed of an inner box 2, an outer box 3, and a heat insulating material 4 filled with foam between the two boxes 2 and 3. On the upper side of the storage chamber 5 formed by the inner box 2, etc. , a cooler 6 forming a refrigerant cycle for cooling the inside of the storage chamber 5 is provided.

この冷却器６は板状に形成したものを正面略Ｕ字状或い
は実施例の如く正面略り字状に屈曲して、水平辺６Ａと
立上辺６Ｂとを形成している。This cooler 6 is formed into a plate shape and is bent into a substantially U-shape when viewed from the front, or into an abbreviated-shape from the front as in the embodiment, to form a horizontal side 6A and an upright side 6B.

７は貯蔵室５内他側に、前記冷却器６の立上辺６Ｂ側方

状に合成樹脂材にて形成しており、且つ前記立上壁７Ａ
に冷却器６の立上辺６Ｂを該立上壁７Ａに一体成形した
ボス１３に螺合する螺子１４等適宜の手段にて支持装着
している。Reference numeral 7 denotes a mounting for supporting and mounting the temperature regulator 8, internal light switch 9, etc., which is disposed on the other side of the storage chamber 5 between the side of the rising edge 6B of the cooler 6 and the side wall 2A of the inner box 2. A rising wall 7A whose upper end is supported by the ceiling wall 2B by engaging with a fitting groove 10 etc. formed in the ceiling wall 2B of the inner box 2, and an outer end of which is connected to the side wall of the inner box 2. The bottom wall 7B is engaged and locked in the engagement hole 11 drilled in the housing 2A, and the front wall 7C, in which the operating child 12 of the temperature regulator 8 and the like are disposed in the front, forms a so-called deformed housing shape. It is formed of a synthetic resin material, and the rising wall 7A
The rising side 6B of the cooler 6 is supported and mounted by suitable means such as a screw 14 screwed into a boss 13 integrally formed on the rising wall 7A.

更に取付部材７の立上壁７Ａには、相対向する冷却器６
の立上辺６Ｂ側に突出して複数条のリブ１５，１５を相
互に間隔を存して突出形威し、且つこのリブ１５，１５
・・・・・・夫々の上下両端を中央部より冷却器６側へ
突出して上下突片１５Ａ、１５Ｂを形成している。Further, on the rising wall 7A of the mounting member 7, there is a cooler 6 facing oppositely.
A plurality of ribs 15, 15 protrude from the side of the rising side 6B of the ribs 15, 15 at intervals, and the ribs 15, 15
. . . The upper and lower ends of each protrude from the center toward the cooler 6 side to form upper and lower projecting pieces 15A and 15B.

前記リブ１５の上突片１５Ａの突出寸法は、冷却器６の
立上辺６Ｂにこのリブ１５にて圧接される温度調節器８
の所謂線状感温部１６の外径より小さくなし、且つ下突
片１５Ｂは冷却器６と相対向する端面を中央部分より連
続して円弧状或いは傾斜状の斜面部分に形成されると共
に、冷却器６の水平辺６Ａより立上辺６Ｂに連続する屈
曲湾曲部６Ｃにこの傾斜部分を対向近接せしめている。The protruding dimension of the upper projecting piece 15A of the rib 15 is determined by the temperature regulator 8 which is pressed against the rising edge 6B of the cooler 6 by the rib 15.
The outer diameter of the so-called linear temperature sensing part 16 is smaller than that of the lower projecting piece 15B, and the end surface of the lower projecting piece 15B facing the cooler 6 is formed into an arcuate or inclined slope part continuing from the central part, and This inclined portion is placed opposite to and close to a bent curved portion 6C that continues from the horizontal side 6A to the rising side 6B of the cooler 6.

前記立上壁７Ａは冷却器６の水平辺６Ａ近傍下部を、冷
却器６より離間する方向に屈曲し、更に下方に屈曲して
断面略鉤状の段落部１７となし、冷却器６側の外側に凹
所１７Ａを形成すると共に、下端より内方冷却器６側に
突出して支持縁１８を突設している。The rising wall 7A bends the lower part near the horizontal side 6A of the cooler 6 in a direction away from the cooler 6, and further bends downward to form a stepped portion 17 having a substantially hook-shaped cross section. A recess 17A is formed on the outside, and a supporting edge 18 is provided protruding from the lower end toward the inner cooler 6.

１９は前記冷却器６より滴下する露水を受容貯溜する露
受皿で、一側縁を前記取付部材７の立上壁７Ａ下部に形
成した段落部１７の凹所１７Ａに嵌入腰支持縁１８上に
摺動着脱自在に載置支持し、他側縁を内箱２の側壁等適
宜位置に支持している。Reference numeral 19 denotes a dew pan for receiving and storing dew water dripping from the cooler 6, and one side edge thereof is fitted into the recess 17A of the stepped portion 17 formed at the lower part of the rising wall 7A of the mounting member 7, and is placed on the waist support edge 18. It is mounted and supported in a slidable and removable manner, and the other side edge is supported at an appropriate position such as the side wall of the inner box 2.

前記立上壁７Ａは段落部１７との交点近傍に、１個或い
は複数個の通水孔２０を穿設している。The rising wall 7A has one or more water passage holes 20 bored near the intersection with the stepped portion 17.

この通水孔２０は立上壁７Ａ内表面より流下し、段落部
１７の上面に滞溜する露水を外方へ通過して、前記露受
皿１９へ滴下する。This water passage hole 20 flows down from the inner surface of the rising wall 7A, and the dew water accumulated on the upper surface of the stepped portion 17 passes outward and drips into the dew receiving tray 19.

従って前記露受皿１９の上面開口は通水孔２０の穿設位
置よりも外側方に張出し形成している。Therefore, the opening on the upper surface of the dew pan 19 is formed to protrude outward from the position where the water passage hole 20 is formed.

本案は以上の如く構成しているので、取付部材の立上壁
内外両面に結露しても良好に露受皿へ排出出来、取付部
材内に滞溜して腐敗汚損したりすることがなくなり衛生
的で、且つ庫内灯用スイッチなどに露水が侵入して誤作
動や故障を生起することも少なくなる。Since the present invention is constructed as described above, even if dew condenses on both the inside and outside surfaces of the upright wall of the mounting member, it can be efficiently drained into the dew pan, preventing it from accumulating inside the mounting member and causing rot and stains, resulting in a sanitary environment. Moreover, it is less likely that dew water will enter the internal light switch and cause malfunctions or breakdowns.

そのため取付部材を冷却器に近接して配設しても弊害は
なく、取付部材を大きくして制御機器の装設容積を増大
出来ると共に、冷却器と内箱の間隔が小さくても利用出
来貯蔵室の有効利用が計れる。Therefore, there is no harm in arranging the mounting member close to the cooler, and by increasing the size of the mounting member, the installation volume of the control equipment can be increased, and even if the distance between the cooler and the inner box is small, it can be used and stored. You can measure the effective use of the room.

又、立上壁の下部に段落部を形成して露受皿の一側縁支
持を行っており、構造が簡略化され、且つ段落部の屈曲
により立上壁の強度も大きくなる。Further, a stepped portion is formed at the lower part of the rising wall to support one side edge of the dew pan, simplifying the structure and increasing the strength of the rising wall due to the bending of the stepped portion.
