 冷蔵庫1は、各貯蔵室を冷却するために、冷凍サイクル回路を備えている。この冷凍サイクル回路は、圧縮機11、図示せぬ凝縮器、図示せぬ絞り機構及び蒸発器12が順次配管接続されて構成されている。すなわち、圧縮機11で高温高圧に圧縮された冷媒は、凝縮器に送られ、冷蔵庫1外に熱を放熱して凝縮していく。凝縮した冷媒は、絞り機構で減圧された後に蒸発器12に送られる。そして、蒸発器12に送られた冷媒は、蒸発器12の周囲の空気を冷却する。 Refrigerator 1 is equipped with a refrigeration cycle circuit to cool each storage room. This refrigeration cycle circuit is configured by sequentially connecting a compressor 11, a condenser (not shown), a drawing mechanism (not shown), and an evaporator 12 by piping. That is, the refrigerant compressed to high temperature and high pressure by the compressor 11 is sent to the condenser, dissipates heat to the outside of the refrigerator 1 and condenses. The condensed refrigerant is depressurized by the drawing mechanism and then sent to the evaporator 12. Then, the refrigerant sent to the evaporator 12 cools the air around the evaporator 12.
 圧縮機11は、箱体2の後方下部に形成された機械室6に設けられている。蒸発器12は、箱体2の後方に形成された冷却器室7に設けられている。すなわち、蒸発器12は、冷却器室7内の空気を冷却する。また、冷却器室7は、冷蔵室20、製氷室30、切替室40及び冷凍室50と、ダクト8を介して連通している。そして、冷却器室7には、蒸発器12の下流側にファン13が設けられている。すなわち、ファン13を駆動させることにより、冷蔵室20、製氷室30、切替室40及び冷凍室50に蒸発器12で冷却された空気が供給され、冷蔵室20、製氷室30、切替室40及び冷凍室50の貯蔵物を冷却する。また、野菜室90は、図示せぬダクトを介して、冷蔵室20と連通している。このため、冷蔵室20に供給された空気は、図示せぬダクトを通って野菜室90に流入し、野菜室90の貯蔵物を冷却する。その後、野菜室90の空気は、戻りダクト9を通って、冷却器室7に戻る。 The compressor 11 is provided in the machine room 6 formed in the lower rear part of the box body 2. The evaporator 12 is provided in the cooler chamber 7 formed behind the box body 2. That is, the evaporator 12 cools the air in the cooler chamber 7. Further, the cooler chamber 7 communicates with the refrigerating chamber 20, the ice making chamber 30, the switching chamber 40, and the freezing chamber 50 via the duct 8. A fan 13 is provided in the cooler chamber 7 on the downstream side of the evaporator 12. That is, by driving the fan 13, the air cooled by the evaporator 12 is supplied to the refrigerating chamber 20, the ice making chamber 30, the switching chamber 40, and the freezing chamber 50, and the refrigerating chamber 20, the ice making chamber 30, the switching chamber 40, and the freezing chamber 50 are supplied with air. Cool the storage in the freezer 50. Further, the vegetable compartment 90 communicates with the refrigerator compartment 20 through a duct (not shown). Therefore, the air supplied to the refrigerating chamber 20 flows into the vegetable compartment 90 through a duct (not shown) to cool the storage in the vegetable compartment 90. After that, the air in the vegetable compartment 90 returns to the cooler chamber 7 through the return duct 9.
 各貯蔵室の温度は、各貯蔵室内に設置されたサーミスタにより検知される。そして、各貯蔵室の温度が設定温度になるように、ダクト8に設置されたダンパの開度、圧縮機11の出力及びファン13の送風量等が制御される。 The temperature of each storage room is detected by the thermistor installed in each storage room.

Then, the inside of the main body 61 of the storage container 60 can be partitioned in the front-rear direction by the partition main body 71.
 すなわち、本実施の形態1に係る冷蔵庫1においては、第1凸部74、被支持部64の第1凹部66、第1凸部75、及び被支持部65の第1凹部66が、収納容器60と仕切り70との接続箇所となる。このため、本実施の形態1に係る冷蔵庫1においては、収納容器60と仕切り70との接続箇所は、収納容器60において貯蔵物が収納される箇所となる本体部61の外側に配置されることとなる。したがって、本実施の形態1に係る冷蔵庫1は、収納容器60と仕切り70との接続箇所によって貯蔵物を収納できる収納容器60内の空間が低減してしまうことを抑制できる。 That is, in the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment, the first convex portion 74, the first concave portion 66 of the supported portion 64, the first convex portion 75, and the first concave portion 66 of the supported portion 65 are storage containers. It is a connection point between the 60 and the partition 70. Therefore, in the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment, the connection point between the storage container 60 and the partition 70 is arranged outside the main body 61, which is the place where the stored items are stored in the storage container 60. It becomes. Therefore, the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment can prevent the space in the storage container 60 that can store the stored items from being reduced due to the connection point between the storage container 60 and the partition 70.
 また、本実施の形態1に係る仕切り70は、仕切り本体71の下端部76に、前後方向へ突出する脚部77を備えている。脚部77を備えることにより、収納容器60内の貯蔵物によって仕切り70が押された場合、及び収納容器60を傾けた場合等でも、仕切り70が第1凸部74及び第1凸部75を回転中心として回転することを防止でき、収納容器60内の貯蔵物が散乱することを防止することができる。 Further, the partition 70 according to the first embodiment includes a leg portion 77 protruding in the front-rear direction at the lower end portion 76 of the partition main body 71. By providing the leg portion 77, even when the partition 70 is pushed by the stored material in the storage container 60, or when the storage container 60 is tilted, the partition 70 provides the first convex portion 74 and the first convex portion 75. It is possible to prevent the storage container 60 from rotating as the center of rotation, and to prevent the stored items in the storage container 60 from being scattered.
 また、本実施の形態1に係る冷蔵庫1においては、収納容器60の被支持部64及び被支持部65のそれぞれには、前後方向に間隔を空けて複数の第1凹部66が形成されている。これにより、貯蔵物の収納状況に合わせて、複数の配置位置に、仕切り70を配置することができる。このため、冷蔵庫1の利便性が向上する。 Further, in the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment, a plurality of first recesses 66 are formed in each of the supported portion 64 and the supported portion 65 of the storage container 60 at intervals in the front-rear direction. .. As a result, the partition 70 can be arranged at a plurality of arrangement positions according to the storage situation of the stored items. Therefore, the convenience of the refrigerator 1 is improved.
 また、本実施の形態1に係る冷蔵庫1においては、仕切り70の仕切り本体71には、該仕切り本体71を前後方向に貫通する少なくとも1つの開口部78が形成されている。そして、開口部78の開口面積の合計は、次のように設定されている。 Further, in the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment, the partition main body 71 of the partition 70 is formed with at least one opening 78 that penetrates the partition main body 71 in the front-rear direction. Then, the total opening area of the opening 78 is set as follows.
 図11及び図12は、実施の形態1に係る冷蔵庫1を仕切り本体71と平行な縦断面で切断した図であり、収納容器60の近傍を示す図である。なお、図11は、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられていない状態を示している。また、図12は、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられている状態を示している。 11 and 12 are views of the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment cut in a vertical cross section parallel to the partition main body 71, and are views showing the vicinity of the storage container 60. Note that FIG. 11 shows a state in which the partition 70 is not attached to the storage container 60. Further, FIG. 12 shows a state in which the partition 70 is attached to the storage container 60.
 仕切り本体71と平行な縦断面において、収納容器60の内周面、冷凍室50の左側内壁52、冷凍室50の右側内壁53、及び冷凍室50の天面57で囲まれる空間を、収納容器内風路58とする。このように収納容器内風路58を定義した場合、図12に示すように、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられた際に仕切り70によって塞がれる収納容器内風路58の面積は、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられていない状態の収納容器内風路58の面積の52%以下となっている。なお、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられていない状態の収納容器内風路58の面積は、図11に示す収納容器内風路58の面積となる。 In a vertical cross section parallel to the partition main body 71, the space surrounded by the inner peripheral surface of the storage container 60, the left inner wall 52 of the freezing chamber 50, the right inner wall 53 of the freezing chamber 50, and the top surface 57 of the freezing chamber 50 is the storage container. The inner air passage 58 is used. When the air passage 58 in the storage container is defined in this way, as shown in FIG. 12, the area of the air passage 58 in the storage container that is blocked by the partition 70 when the partition 70 is attached to the storage container 60 is divided. 70 is 52% or less of the area of the air passage 58 in the storage container in the state where the 70 is not attached to the storage container 60. The area of the air passage 58 in the storage container when the partition 70 is not attached to the storage container 60 is the area of the air passage 58 in the storage container shown in FIG.
 このように仕切り70の開口部78の開口面積の合計を設定することにより、以下に示すように、仕切り70の前方に形成される収納容器60内の貯蔵空間と、仕切り70の後方に形成される収納容器60内の貯蔵空間との間で空気の移動を妨げることを抑制できる。すなわち、仕切り70を収納容器60に取り付けた場合でも、収納容器60内の温度分布のバラツキを抑制でき、収納容器60内の温度を設定温度近傍に保つことができる。 By setting the total opening area of the openings 78 of the partition 70 in this way, as shown below, the storage space in the storage container 60 formed in front of the partition 70 and the storage space in the storage container 60 formed behind the partition 70 are formed. It is possible to prevent the movement of air from being hindered from the storage space in the storage container 60. That is, even when the partition 70 is attached to the storage container 60, the variation in the temperature distribution in the storage container 60 can be suppressed, and the temperature in the storage container 60 can be kept close to the set temperature.
 図13~図15は、実施の形態1に係る冷蔵庫1において開口部78の開口面積の合計を変更した際の、収納容器60内の温度分布を示す図である。なお、図13~図15は、紙面下側が冷蔵庫1の正面側つまり前面側となっている。また、図13は、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられていない状態における収納容器60内の温度分布を示している。また、図14は、仕切り70によって塞がれる収納容器内風路58の面積が仕切り70を収納容器60に取り付けていない状態の収納容器内風路58の面積の80%となっている状態での、収納容器60内の温度分布を示している。また、図15は、仕切り70によって塞がれる収納容器内風路58の面積が仕切り70を収納容器60に取り付けていない状態の収納容器内風路58の面積の52%となっている状態での、収納容器60内の温度分布を示している。 13 to 15 are diagrams showing the temperature distribution in the storage container 60 when the total opening area of the openings 78 is changed in the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment. In FIGS. 13 to 15, the lower side of the paper surface is the front side, that is, the front side of the refrigerator 1. Further, FIG. 13 shows the temperature distribution in the storage container 60 in a state where the partition 70 is not attached to the storage container 60. Further, FIG. 14 shows a state in which the area of the storage container inner air passage 58 blocked by the partition 70 is 80% of the area of the storage container inner air passage 58 in the state where the partition 70 is not attached to the storage container 60. The temperature distribution in the storage container 60 is shown. Further, FIG. 15 shows a state in which the area of the storage container inner air passage 58 blocked by the partition 70 is 52% of the area of the storage container inner air passage 58 in the state where the partition 70 is not attached to the storage container 60. The temperature distribution in the storage container 60 is shown.
 図13に示すように、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられていない場合、収納容器60内の温度分布のバラツキは、0.55℃となっている。なお、収納容器60内の温度分布のバラツキとは、収納容器60内の複数の箇所で温度を計測し、最高温度から最低温度を減算した温度差のことである。図14に示すように、収納容器内風路58の80%が仕切り70で塞がれると、収納容器60内の温度分布のバラツキは、1.38℃と大きくなる。一方、図15に示すように、収納容器内風路58の52%が仕切り70で塞がれる状態になると、収納容器60内の温度分布のバラツキは、0.56℃となり、仕切り70が収納容器60に取り付けられていない場合と同等になる。 As shown in FIG. 13, when the partition 70 is not attached to the storage container 60, the variation in the temperature distribution in the storage container 60 is 0.55 ° C. The variation in the temperature distribution in the storage container 60 is a temperature difference obtained by subtracting the minimum temperature from the maximum temperature by measuring the temperature at a plurality of locations in the storage container 60. As shown in FIG. 14, when 80% of the air passage 58 in the storage container is blocked by the partition 70, the variation in the temperature distribution in the storage container 60 becomes as large as 1.38 ° C. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, when 52% of the air passage 58 in the storage container is blocked by the partition 70, the variation in the temperature distribution in the storage container 60 becomes 0.56 ° C., and the partition 70 is stored. It is equivalent to the case where it is not attached to the container 60.
 なお、本実施の形態1では、収納容器60以外の収納容器も冷凍室50に設けられているが、収納容器60のみが冷凍室50に設けられていてもよい。また例えば、収納容器60が設けられる貯蔵室は、冷凍室50に限定されるものではなく、冷凍室50以外の貯蔵室であってもよい。なお、冷凍室50以外の貯蔵室に収納容器60が設けられる場合、当該貯蔵室の左側内壁に段部54が形成され、当該貯蔵室の右側内壁に段部55が形成されることとなる。 In the first embodiment, storage containers other than the storage container 60 are also provided in the freezing chamber 50, but only the storage container 60 may be provided in the freezing chamber 50. Further, for example, the storage chamber in which the storage container 60 is provided is not limited to the freezing chamber 50, and may be a storage chamber other than the freezing chamber 50.

 本実施の形態3に係る仕切り70は、仕切り本体71の下端部76から下方へ突出する少なくとも1つの第2凸部81を備えている。また、収納容器60の本体部61の底面部68には、第2凸部81が挿入される第2凹部69が形成されている。なお、第2凹部69は、底面部68において上部から下方へ凹んでいれば、底面部68を貫通している必要はない。 The partition 70 according to the third embodiment includes at least one second convex portion 81 protruding downward from the lower end portion 76 of the partition main body 71. Further, a second concave portion 69 into which the second convex portion 81 is inserted is formed in the bottom surface portion 68 of the main body portion 61 of the storage container 60. The second recess 69 does not need to penetrate the bottom surface 68 as long as the bottom surface 68 is recessed from the top to the bottom.
 このように構成された冷蔵庫1においては、仕切り70が第1凸部74及び第1凸部75を回転中心として回転しようとした際、第2凸部81が第2凹部69の周縁に引っ掛かり、仕切り70が回転することを防止できる。このため、本実施のように構成された冷蔵庫1においても、仕切り70の仕切り本体71の下端部76に脚部77を設けた場合と同様に、仕切り70が第1凸部74及び第1凸部75を回転中心として回転することを防止でき、収納容器60内の貯蔵物が散乱することを防止することができる。 In the refrigerator 1 configured in this way, when the partition 70 tries to rotate around the first convex portion 74 and the first convex portion 75 as the rotation center, the second convex portion 81 is caught on the peripheral edge of the second concave portion 69. It is possible to prevent the partition 70 from rotating. Therefore, even in the refrigerator 1 configured as in the present embodiment, the partition 70 has the first convex portion 74 and the first convex portion, as in the case where the leg portion 77 is provided at the lower end portion 76 of the partition main body 71 of the partition 70. It is possible to prevent the portion 75 from rotating about the center of rotation, and it is possible to prevent the stored items in the storage container 60 from being scattered.
