に行なうようにしたものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is a refrigerator having storage compartments arranged side by side, in which a machine compartment and a duct extending between the two storage compartments are arranged rationally.

従来は、第５図に示すように、左右に貯蔵室ａ、 ｂを
有し、下部に圧縮機Ｃ等を収納した機械室ｄを構威して
いる。Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, there are storage chambers a and b on the left and right sides, and a machine room d in which a compressor C and the like are housed is provided at the bottom.

一般に貯蔵室ａ、 ｂの一方すに冷却器ｅを配置し、他
方の貯蔵室ａの空気を仕切壁ｆのダクトｇを介して吸引
するが、機械室スペースが大きくなり、庫内容積が減少
し、ダクトｇの貯蔵室ａ側の開口位置が、底面ａ′より
上方になる等の制約をうけ冷気の循環が円滑であるとは
いえなかった。Generally, a cooler e is placed in one of storage rooms a and b, and air from the other storage room a is sucked through a duct g in a partition wall f, but this increases the space in the machine room and reduces the internal volume. However, due to restrictions such as the opening position of the duct g on the side of the storage chamber a being above the bottom surface a', the circulation of cold air could not be said to be smooth.

そこで本考案はこれら従来の欠点を解消するもので、貯
蔵内容積が大きくかつ冷気の循環が良好に行なえるよう
にしたものである。Therefore, the present invention solves these conventional drawbacks by providing a large storage volume and good circulation of cold air.

以下本考案の一実施例について第１図ないし第４図を参
考に説明する。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

図において、１は冷蔵庫本体で、内箱２と外箱３及びこ
の両箱２，３間に充填した断熱材より形成されている。In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator body, which is made up of an inner box 2, an outer box 3, and a heat insulating material filled between the two boxes 2 and 3.

本体１は、Ｔ字状の区画壁４，５にて冷凍室６と冷蔵室
７と、野菜室８の三室に区画されている。The main body 1 is divided into three compartments, a freezer compartment 6, a refrigerator compartment 7, and a vegetable compartment 8, by T-shaped partition walls 4 and 5.

９は冷凍室奥面に収納している冷却器である。9 is a cooler stored in the back of the freezer compartment.

１０は内箱２の裏面に設置したダクトであり、冷却器９
により冷却した冷気を冷蔵室７に送るものである。10 is a duct installed on the back side of the inner box 2, and a cooler 9
The cooled air is sent to the refrigerator compartment 7.

冷蔵室７を冷却した冷気は、開口部１１を経て、野菜室
８の内箱２に凹陥部１２を形成しかつアルミニウム製蓋
体１３をビス等で固定して構威した冷却ダクト１４に導
入される。The cold air that has cooled the refrigerator compartment 7 is introduced through the opening 11 into the cooling duct 14, which is constructed by forming a concave part 12 in the inner box 2 of the vegetable compartment 8 and fixing the aluminum cover 13 with screws or the like. be done.

野菜室８と冷凍室６の底壁は、第４図からも明らかなよ
うに野菜室８の底壁８′を冷凍室６の底壁６′よりも高
く構威し、本体１の下部に形成した機械室１５を野菜室
８側に大きなスペースとなるようにし、この大きなスペ
ースに圧縮機１６を配置している。As is clear from FIG. 4, the bottom walls of the vegetable compartment 8 and the freezer compartment 6 are constructed so that the bottom wall 8' of the vegetable compartment 8 is higher than the bottom wall 6' of the freezer compartment 6, and The formed machine room 15 is made to be a large space on the side of the vegetable compartment 8, and a compressor 16 is arranged in this large space.

冷凍室６の下方の小さなスペースには、凝縮器や蒸発皿
等（図示せず）が配置される。A condenser, an evaporation dish, etc. (not shown) are arranged in a small space below the freezer compartment 6.

１７は冷却ダクト１４と冷凍室６内の冷却器９の下方に
のびた傾斜ダクトであり、この傾斜ダクト１７は両室８
，６にまたがる断熱材１８中に配置してあり、冷凍室６
側が低くなるよう傾斜している。17 is an inclined duct extending below the cooling duct 14 and the cooler 9 in the freezer compartment 6;
, 6, and is placed in the insulation material 18 spanning the freezer compartment 6
The sides are sloping downward.

従って冷却ダクト１４内の冷気は傾斜ダクト１７を通っ
て冷却器９を設けた冷却室にもどるものである。Therefore, the cool air in the cooling duct 14 passes through the inclined duct 17 and returns to the cooling chamber in which the cooler 9 is provided.

なお冷却室は、冷凍室背面に形威され内部に冷却器を収
納している。The cooling compartment is located at the back of the freezer compartment and houses a cooler inside.

き、かつ冷気の逆流を防止できるものである。With this structure, the space in the machine room 15 can be saved by making the bottom wall of one storage compartment (vegetable compartment 8) higher than the bottom wall of the other storage compartment (freezer compartment 6) for arranging the compressor 16. In addition, by forming the inclined duct 17 in the heat insulating material 18 located between both storage chambers, the duct opening position of one storage chamber is brought closer to the bottom wall. In addition, it is possible to reliably guide the cold air to the lower part of the cooling chamber housing the cooler 9 in the other chamber, thereby improving the cold air circulation efficiency and preventing the backflow of cold air. It is something.

尚、実施例においては、左右に並設する貯蔵室は野菜室

貯蔵室が効率良く冷却で・きる。As described above, the refrigerator of the present invention has first and second storage chambers formed on the left and right sides of the refrigerator body, and the bottom wall of the first storage chamber is positioned above the bottom wall of the second storage chamber. a machine room is formed below the bottom walls of the two storage chambers, a cooling duct is formed extending from the back side to the bottom of the first storage chamber, and a cooler is installed in the second storage chamber. The cooling duct and the cooling chamber are connected by an inclined duct that slopes from the bottom of the first storage chamber toward the cooling chamber. The compressor can be placed in the machine room located on the room side, reducing the space in the machine room on the second storage room side, which means increasing the internal volume of the second storage room. One end of the duct that connects is one in which cold air flows through the bottom opening of the first storage chamber whose bottom wall is located at a high position, so compared to, for example, a case where the cold air flows through the left and right side walls, the cold air accumulates at the bottom and makes the flow worse. As a result, the flow of cold air in the cooling duct becomes smooth, and the first storage chamber can be efficiently cooled.
