DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator interior light.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an interior light of a conventional refrigerator disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-79386. Reference numeral denotes a refrigerator compartment, 4 denotes a freezer compartment 2 and a refrigerator compartment 3, and a partition wall having heat insulating property, 5 denotes an interior light, and 6 denotes a transparent interior light cover.

Next, the operation will be described. When the refrigerator compartment door (not shown) is opened, the interior of the refrigerator compartment 3 is illuminated by the interior lamp 5 provided on the partition wall 4 to facilitate taking in and out of food. When the freezer door (not shown) is opened,
In this case, the light of the interior light 5 is irradiated through the transparent shielding plate 6, so that the freezing compartment 2 is also brightened, so that the food can be easily taken in and out. The partition wall 4 is made of a heat insulating material that partitions the freezer compartment 2 and the refrigerator compartment 3.
And the refrigerator compartment 3, and a refrigerator light 5 is disposed inside the refrigerator compartment 3.

[0004]

Since the interior light 5 of the conventional refrigerator is constructed as described above, the food may block the front of the interior light depending on the amount and location of the food stored in the refrigerator. There is a case where the inside of the refrigerator is not illuminated brightly, and there is a problem in manufacturing caused by providing the penetration portion in the heat insulating wall 4.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is intended to always irradiate the inside of the refrigerator with a bright light regardless of the load of the preserved food in the refrigerator or the storage place, and to improve the design. Aim.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a refrigerator in which a refrigerator main body is divided into respective rooms by a partition part, and a refrigerator light provided inside a front surface of the partition part;
It is characterized by comprising an interior light cover forming a space on the front surface of the middle partition portion, and a transfer foil formed and transferred on the back surface of the interior light cover.

[0007]

The refrigerator according to the present invention can always illuminate the interior of the refrigerator without the food being blocked from the light of the interior lamp, and the interior light cover has a sense of unity with the interior of the refrigerator and has a good appearance. good.

[0008]

[Embodiment 1] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main part of a refrigerator provided with an interior light cover of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a detailed cross-sectional view of a main part in FIG. 1, FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a single unit viewed from the back surface of the interior light cover of the present invention.

In the drawing, 1 is a refrigerator main body, 2 is a freezer compartment, 24 is a plastic material such as ABS resin, which is molded and manufactured by a vacuum molding method and is colored white to have a clean feeling in the refrigerator. It is a box. Reference numeral 7 denotes a partition plate which partitions the freezer compartment into the freezer compartment 2 and the ice compartment 25. 25a and 25b are the ice rooms 2
5 is an ice room shelf and an ice creamer housed in 5. Reference numeral 2a denotes a plurality of freezer shelves in which the frozen foods and the like disposed at arbitrary positions in the upper and lower portions of the freezer stocker room 3 are stored.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an A provided at the front end of the partition 7 and filled with a foamed heat insulating material such as an internal polyurethane foam.
It is a white-colored partition wall formed by injection molding with a plastic material such as BS resin.

Reference numeral 6 designates an inside of the compartment where the transfer foils 13 are simultaneously formed and transferred by a transparent plastic material having transparency such as PMMA and AS resin provided at the front end of the intermediate partition plate 7. It is a light cover. Reference numeral 6b denotes a flat portion of the interior light cover 6 and an interior color 6c
(For example, white), and a glossy pattern 6d is applied from the back surface of the transfer foil 26 having a hidden paying property and a reflective property such as aluminum vapor deposition.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a plurality of interior lamps arranged in a vertical direction in a space portion 17 formed by the partition wall 4, the middle partition plate 7 and the interior lamp cover 6. Reference numeral 18 denotes an inclined portion where the light-transmitting portion of the interior light cover 6 is formed.
As shown in FIG. 4, the vicinity of the interior light 5 is patterned into a milky white 19 having a relatively dark transmissive color and a light milky white 19 having transparency as the distance from the interior light 5 increases, When the interior light is turned on, the interior of the freezer compartment 2 is irradiated with uniform brightness from the inclined portion 18 of the interior light cover 6.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the interior lamp cover 6 is manufactured in the simultaneous molding and transfer system. The movable mold 20 is composed of a movable mold 20, a fixed mold 21 and a transfer foil 26 patterned on a PET film, for example, 38 μm. At the same time as moving in the direction of the arrow, the transfer foil 26 is set in the mold and the interior light cover 6
The printed pattern is attached to the back surface of the molded product. Reference numeral 22 denotes a resin injection port during molding.

As described above, the embodiment 1 of the present invention
The freezing room 2 can be uniformly and brightly illuminated rearward in the directions of arrows A and B from the inclined portion 18 where the light-transmitting portion of the interior light cover 6 is formed. By doing so, it is possible to provide practical interior lighting without being affected by the contents of the freezer compartment shelf 2a.

Further, the same color as the interior color is transferred to the back surface of the flat portion 6b of the interior light cover 6, so that the interior box 2 and the partition wall 4 and the like have a sense of unity with the interior design. Since the transfer foil 26 having excellent payability and reflectiveness such as aluminum vapor deposition and the like is further provided on the back side with a glossy pattern 6d, the light emitted from the interior lamp 5 as shown by the arrow C is a glossy pattern. By irradiating the freezing room 2 together with the arrows A and B by being reflected from the 6d surface and returning to the inner surface as shown by the arrow D, the inside of the freezing room 2 is illuminated more efficiently.

Further, since the light of the interior lamp 5 is reflected as described above, it is possible to prevent thermal deformation of the interior lamp cover 6 near the interior lamp 5 when the interior lamp 5 is continuously energized. It is intended to provide a refrigerator interior light cover 6 which can be realized at the same time and which is safe and excellent in function.

[0017]

According to the refrigerator of the present invention, in a refrigerator in which a refrigerator main body is divided into respective rooms by a partition, a space inside the front of the partition and a space in front of the partition are provided. The interior light cover to be formed and the transfer foil provided on the back surface of the interior light cover and formed and transferred, so that the light of the interior light is not blocked by food, and the interior Can be illuminated brightly. In addition, the interior light cover has a sense of unity with the interior of the interior and has a good appearance.
