Description

冷蔵庫refrigerator
 本発明は、扉の断熱材として真空断熱パネルを用いた冷蔵庫に関する。 The present invention relates to a refrigerator using a vacuum heat insulating panel as a door heat insulating material.
 冷蔵庫は、外箱と内箱との間に発泡断熱材を設けた冷蔵庫本体により構成され、その冷蔵庫本体の内部に貯蔵室を形成しているが、断熱性能を向上させて消費電力量を低減させたり、あるいは、断熱箱体の壁厚を薄くして庫内容積効率を向上させるため、外箱と内箱との間に充填する発泡断熱材の一部に換えて真空断熱パネルが設けられている。 The refrigerator is composed of a refrigerator body with a foam insulation between the outer box and the inner box, and a storage room is formed inside the refrigerator body, but it improves heat insulation performance and reduces power consumption. In order to improve the internal volume efficiency by reducing the wall thickness of the heat insulation box, a vacuum heat insulation panel is provided instead of a part of the foam insulation filled between the outer box and the inner box. ing.
 また、冷蔵庫本体の前面開口部を閉塞する扉についても、扉の外側に配される扉面材と、扉の内側に配される扉内板との間に発泡断熱材を配設した断熱部を設けているが、冷蔵庫本体と同様、断熱性能を向上させるため、断熱部に配設される発泡断熱材の一部に換えて真空断熱パネルが配設されているものが提案されている(例えば、特開2004-125394号参照)。 In addition, for the door that closes the front opening of the refrigerator body, a heat insulating part in which a foam heat insulating material is disposed between the door surface material arranged outside the door and the door inner plate arranged inside the door. However, as with the refrigerator main body, in order to improve the heat insulation performance, it is proposed that a vacuum heat insulation panel is provided instead of a part of the foam heat insulating material provided in the heat insulation portion ( For example, see JP-A-2004-125394).
 下記引用文献1に記載された冷蔵庫は、図9に示すように、扉127の扉内板142に庫内側に成形された突起部143と奥行き方向の段違い面とを形成し、段違い面の最前面部144に突起部143を覆うように真空断熱パネル138を貼付けて硬質ウレタンフォーム113を注入発泡し、扉127の扉内板142と真空断熱パネル138とで挟まれた空間部146から突起部143に硬質ウレタンフォーム113が充填されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the refrigerator described in the following cited document 1 forms a protrusion 143 formed on the inner side of the door 127 of the door 127 and a stepped surface in the depth direction. A vacuum heat insulation panel 138 is attached to the front surface portion 144 so as to cover the protrusion portion 143, and the rigid urethane foam 113 is injected and foamed. 143 is filled with a hard urethane foam 113.
特開2004-125394号公報JP 2004-125394 A
 上記のような冷蔵庫では、真空断熱パネル138が扉127の外側に配された扉面材150に直接接しないので、真空断熱パネル138と硬質ウレタンフォーム113との熱収縮率の違いに起因して生じる外観の変形を抑えることができる。 In the refrigerator as described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 138 is not in direct contact with the door face material 150 disposed outside the door 127, which is caused by the difference in thermal contraction rate between the vacuum heat insulation panel 138 and the rigid urethane foam 113. Deformation of the appearance that occurs can be suppressed.
 しかしながら、真空断熱パネル138が、奥行き方向の段違い面に貼付され片持ち状態で扉内板142に固定されているため、製造時に真空断熱パネル138が扉内板142から剥がれ落ち製造不良が起こりやすいという問題がある。 However, since the vacuum heat insulation panel 138 is affixed to the step surface in the depth direction and is fixed to the door inner plate 142 in a cantilever state, the vacuum heat insulation panel 138 is peeled off from the door inner plate 142 during manufacturing, and manufacturing defects are likely to occur. There is a problem.
 特に、扉内板142と真空断熱パネル138とで挟まれた空間部146から硬質ウレタンフォーム113が充填されるため、硬質ウレタンフォーム113の発泡圧力が扉内板142から真空断熱パネル138を剥がす方向へ作用し、硬質ウレタンフォーム113の発泡充填時に真空断熱パネル138が扉内板142から剥がれ落ちやすく、製造不良が起こりやすいという問題がある。 In particular, since the hard urethane foam 113 is filled from the space 146 sandwiched between the door inner plate 142 and the vacuum heat insulating panel 138, the foaming pressure of the hard urethane foam 113 peels the vacuum heat insulating panel 138 from the door inner plate 142. There is a problem that the vacuum heat insulation panel 138 is easily peeled off from the door inner plate 142 when foaming and filling the rigid urethane foam 113, and manufacturing defects are likely to occur.
 本発明は、上記問題を考慮してなされたものであり、扉面材と扉内板との間に形成された断熱部に真空断熱パネルを配設した扉を備えた冷蔵庫において、扉の製造時に真空断熱パネルが剥がれ落ちたりすることなく製造不良が発生しにくい冷蔵庫を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and in a refrigerator having a door provided with a vacuum heat insulating panel in a heat insulating portion formed between a door face material and a door inner plate, the manufacture of the door It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator in which manufacturing defects are unlikely to occur without the vacuum insulation panel sometimes peeling off.

A door surface material, a door inner plate disposed inside the cabinet, and a heat insulating portion sandwiched between the door surface material and the door inner plate and provided with a vacuum heat insulating panel and a foam heat insulating material. A reinforcing plate in contact with the door face material is disposed between the door face material and the vacuum heat insulating panel.
 本発明の冷蔵庫では、上記構成により、扉の製造時に真空断熱パネルが剥がれ落ちたりすることなく製造不良を抑えることができる。 In the refrigerator of the present invention, due to the above configuration, it is possible to suppress manufacturing defects without the vacuum insulation panel being peeled off during the manufacture of the door.
