  The ice making water is supplied from the water supply container 9 to the ice making tray 7B of the automatic ice making machine 7 through the water supply channel 51A by a natural drop method. The ice tray 7B is a synthetic resin in which 8 to 12 square ices are made by dividing into a plurality of ice making chambers such as four rows, two rows, six rows and two rows with the longitudinal direction as the row direction. It is made. The ice storage container 8 is made of a white, transparent, translucent or other color synthetic resin, and has a box shape with a top opening that is longer than the left and right widths.

  If the ice-making water in the water supply container 9 is simply supplied over a certain period of time, the amount of water supplied in a certain period of time varies greatly between when the water for ice-making in the water supply container 9 is full and when the water level drops. It is not preferable.

  In order to solve this problem, the supply time for ice making water required for one ice making is relatively short even when the fixed time supply method is adopted, and the supply amount fluctuation is small. For this reason, the auxiliary tank portion 9C is provided in the water supply container 9, and most of the ice making water stored in the water supply container 9 is stored in the main tank container 9B, and the auxiliary tank portion 9C has a part of the amount. An amount of water for ice making required for several times of ice making by the automatic ice making machine 7 is stored. The amount required for one ice making is a specified amount of water that makes the ice tray 7B almost full.

  The water supply container 9 of the present invention is made of a transparent synthetic resin having a top opening so as to close the top opening of a transparent synthetic resin tank body 9A having a substantially rectangular top opening whose depth is longer than the lateral width. The main tank container 9B is removably inserted and fitted. The relationship between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B is that the peripheral wall 9B1 formed by the front, rear, left and right walls of the main tank container 9B has a slight gap M with the peripheral wall 9A1 formed by the front, rear, left and right walls of the tank main body 9A. As shown, the main tank container 9B is supported on the upper part in the tank main body 9A in the proximity state.

  This support is such that the outward flange 9P formed at the upper end of the main tank container 9B is placed on the step 9Q at the upper part of the inner surface of the tank body 9A so that the main tank container 9B keeps a distance from the bottom wall of the tank body 9A.

The water supply container 9 includes an air passage 9E so as to supply air to the auxiliary tank portion 9C. This is because a recess 9E1 penetrating vertically is formed in the rear part of the main tank container 9B, and an air passage 9E is formed between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B. A configuration in which a pipe penetrating the wall and communicating with the space above the main tank container 9B and the auxiliary tank portion 9C may be employed.

  A small-diameter supply hole 9H is formed in the bottom wall of the main tank container 9B in order to naturally supply ice making water in the main tank container 9B to the auxiliary tank portion 9C. With the upper surface opening of the main tank container 9B closed by a cover 9D having a water injection port 9K, the upper end opening of the air passage 9E communicates with the space above the main tank container 9B. The water inlet 9K is in a state of being closed by an openable / closable lid 9M which is a part of the cover 9D. Water can be poured into the main tank container 9B by pulling out the water supply container 9 from the refrigerator 1 and opening the lid 9M, but can also be performed by removing the cover 9D.

  When the cover 9D is attached to the tank main body 9A, the water supply container 9 is inserted into the small chamber 46 by sliding on the heat insulating partition wall 28, so that the water supply container 9 is fitted into the concave portion of the synthetic resin upper plate 29 and held at a predetermined position. The The predetermined position holding mechanism of the water supply container 9 is stable by adopting a configuration in which an elastic member slightly projecting upward from the synthetic resin upper plate 29 of the heat insulating partition wall 28 is engaged with an engaging part at the bottom of the water supply container 9. The elastic member is pushed downward by pulling the water supply container 9 forward against the elastic member, and the water supply container 9 can be pulled out from the small chamber 46.

  When the water supply container 9 is locked to the elastic member and held at a predetermined position, a switch provided on the inner side of the back wall 32 of the refrigerator compartment 3 is turned on. The ice making cycle described later can be brought into a startable state.

  The water supply container 9 has a circular water supply port 60 formed at the bottom of the auxiliary tank portion 9C at a position directly below the supply hole 9H on the bottom wall of the main tank container 9B, and is made of a synthetic resin that opens and closes the water supply port 60 by vertical movement. The on-off valve mechanism P provided with the on-off valve 61 is provided.

Make a dome shape to fit. The on-off valve 61 is formed with a circular projecting portion that enters the water supply port 60 on the lower surface thereof, and an O-ring-shaped annular seal packing 64 is provided around the circular projecting portion. And the adhesion between the peripheral portion of the water supply port 60 are improved. In order to guide the up-and-down movement of the on-off valve 61, a plurality of guide pieces 95 are arranged at equal intervals around the on-off valve 61 from the bottom of the auxiliary tank portion 9C.

  The on-off valve 61 may be of a type that closes the water supply port 60 by its own weight. However, if the closing function of the water supply port 60 is weak, the on / off valve 61 may be lowered by the bias of the spring 65 to close the water supply port 60. . The spring 65 fits into a groove formed around the dome-shaped valve portion 61 </ b> A and is held by the on-off valve 61.

  When the water supply container 9 is stored in the refrigerator 1, a vertically vertical water supply path that opens through the heat insulating partition wall 28 toward the upper surface of the ice tray 7 </ b> B at a position directly below the water supply port 60. 51A is formed. The lower end of the water supply channel 51A opens to a position facing one of the ice making chambers on the rear side of the ice tray 7B. The water supply channel 51A is formed by a water supply pipe 51 having an ice making water receiving portion 65 that spreads in a funnel shape so that the receiving of the ice making water flowing down from the water supply port 60 is good. It is fixed by adhesion in a through pipe portion 29A integrally formed with the synthetic resin upper plate 29 so as to penetrate the heat insulating partition wall 28. The water supply pipe 51 forming the water supply path 51 </ b> A having a circular cross section is in a state of slightly protruding below the heat insulating partition wall 28.

  The on-off valve 61 is opened and closed by an operating member 90 with a permanent magnet 63 housed in the water supply channel 51A so as to be movable up and down. The permanent magnet 63 is configured in a direction in which a pair of permanent magnets 63A and 63B that are spaced apart from each other are repelled from each other, and as an example, the permanent magnets 63A and 63B are disposed with the S poles facing each other. Has been.

  A solenoid 66 is provided around the operating member 90 so as to correspond to the permanent magnets 63A and 63B. The solenoid 66 is held by a holder 68 and fitted to the outside of the through pipe portion 29A so as to be positioned around the water supply channel 51A in a state of being housed in the recess 30A of the synthetic resin lower plate 30 of the heat insulating partition wall 28, The holder 93 is fixed to the synthetic resin lower plate 30 with screws 94. The energization control of the solenoid 66 is controlled by a timer by a control circuit unit provided in the refrigerator 1 and energized for a certain period of time, whereby the operating member 90 rises as will be described later to open the on-off valve 61, and a specified amount of ice making Water is supplied to the automatic ice making machine 7.

  The actuating member 90 is raised by energization of the solenoid 66 to open the on-off valve 61, and as a result, an ice-making water flow-down passage is formed between the periphery of the actuating member 90 and the water supply pipe 51 in a substantially vertical direction. Therefore, a lower member 90B having a circular outer shape whose cross section is smaller than the inner diameter of the water supply pipe 51 having a circular cross section, and an upper member 90A having a circular cross section coupled to the upper end of the lower member 90B. The upper member 90A has an outer shape that is locked to a portion of the ice-making water receiving portion 65 of the water supply channel 51A, and the lower member 90B has a shape that the outer shape gradually decreases downward. The upper permanent magnet 63A is held by the upper member 90A, and the lower permanent magnet 63B is held by the lower member 90B.

  When the solenoid 66 is not energized, the operating member 90 is in a lowered position where the water supply channel 51 is closed, and the upper member 90A is configured to block the water supply channel 51 at the top. For this reason, since the cold air | flow distribution of the freezer compartment 5 and the refrigerator compartment 3 is interrupted | blocked through the water supply channel 51A, it can prevent the freezing of the freezer compartment 5 falling.

  The upper end portion of the upper member 90A of the operating member 90 forms a dome-shaped convex portion 90C that fits into the conical concave portion 61B formed on the lower surface of the on-off valve 61, and the convex portion 90C is the concave portion 61B. The operation of opening the on-off valve 61 upward becomes accurate by entering.

  The lower end of the actuating member 90 looks into the lower end of the water supply channel 51A in a slightly projecting state, and prevents the ice making water flowing down from flowing down to accurately guide the ice making water to a predetermined ice making chamber of the ice making tray 7B. Yes. Therefore, the lower end portion of the operating member 90 is formed in a tapered shape.

  In order to prevent the remaining water in the water supply passage 51A from freezing, the heat generated by the solenoid 66 is transmitted to the water supply passage 51A. For this reason, the aluminum foil 72 as the heat conductive layer 72 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the through pipe portion 29 </ b> A, and the heat generated by the solenoid 66 is transmitted into the water supply channel 51 </ b> A through the aluminum foil 72.

  At the bottom of the main tank container 9B, a filter 92 is detachably held by a holding rib 91 formed in the main tank container 9B so as to cover the supply hole 9H of the main tank container 9B. The main tank container 9B is in a mounted state in which the outward flange 9P is locked to the step portion 9Q of the tank body 9A, and therefore can be removed from the tank body 9A by removing the cover 9D. For this reason, the inside of the tank main body 9A including the auxiliary tank portion 9C can be cleaned, and the filter 92 can be removed, so that the inner and outer surfaces of the main tank container 9B can be easily cleaned. Furthermore, since the on-off valve 61 can be removed, the inside of the water supply container 9 can be easily cleaned.

  The energization control to the solenoid 66 is not energized after being controlled by a control circuit unit provided in the refrigerator 1 and energized for a certain time. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the solenoid 66 is not energized, the on-off valve 61 is lowered to close the water supply port 60, and the supply hole 9H is opened by the valve portion 61A. In this state, when the solenoid 66 is energized, an S pole is formed on the solenoid 66 and an N pole is formed on the bottom of the solenoid 66, and the operating member 90 is driven upward by the interaction with the permanent magnets 63A and 63B of the operating member 90. The on-off valve 61 is pushed upward by the member 90 to compress the spring 67 and the on-off valve 61 opens the water supply port 60. The on-off valve 61 opens the water supply port 60 and closes the supply hole 9H on the bottom wall of the upper main tank container 9B by the valve portion 61A. The relationship between the solenoid 66 and the permanent magnets 63 </ b> A and 63 </ b> B is such that the on-off valve 61 performs an attracting action to drive the operating member 90 up so as to open the water supply port 60, and the magnetic force by the solenoid 66 and the permanent magnet of the operating member 90. This is a relationship of performing a suppressing action so as to prevent the operating member 90 from popping out upward by the interaction of 63A and 63B.

  The solenoid 66 is energized for a certain time under the timer control, and then deenergized to return to the state shown in FIG. The permanent magnets 63A and 63B may be arranged so that the N poles face each other, and the solenoid 66 may be configured such that the N pole is formed on the upper side and the S pole is formed on the lower side when the solenoid 66 is energized.

  Even when the height of the water supply container 9 is limited, it is desirable that the ice making water required for one ice making can be properly supplied within a predetermined time to suppress a decrease in ice making efficiency. For this reason, a certain amount of water head (water level) can be obtained in the auxiliary tank portion 9C by storing the amount of ice making water necessary for ice making several times by the automatic ice making machine 7, so that the ice making water in the water supply container 9 can be obtained. Even when the system is supplied for a certain period of time, the supply time for ice making water required for one ice making can be made relatively short, and the supply amount can be changed little. In the embodiment, three times the amount of water for ice making required for one ice making is three times 80 cubic cm, that is, 200 cubes which is less than four times of ice making so as to secure the amount of water for ice making required for three times of ice making. I try to store cm. As a result, water can be supplied in a state in which the amount of supplied water is less variable.

  The ice making operation of the automatic ice making machine 7 includes an ice making process and a deicing process controlled by a control circuit unit provided in the refrigerator 1. When a sufficient amount of ice-making water is injected into the water supply container 9 and stored in a predetermined position of the refrigerator, the ice-making process starts when the ice-making start switch is turned on manually. 66 is energized for a predetermined time, the operating member 90 is raised, the on-off valve 61 opens the water supply port 60, and a predetermined amount of ice making water required for one ice making from the auxiliary tank portion 9C to the ice tray 7B automatically falls due to natural fall. Water is supplied.

  Ice making is performed by the control circuit unit after this water supply, and when a certain period of time has elapsed by the timer means of the control circuit unit, or when the ice tray sensor detects the temperature at which the ice tray 7B has lowered the formation of ice, The deicing process is started by the control circuit unit, the electric mechanism 7A is started, the ice tray 7B is reversed and twisted, the ice in the ice tray 7B is dropped into the ice storage container 8 below, and then the ice tray 7B is returned. The ice making operation cycle is started by supplying water again and entering the ice making process.

  When the on-off valve 61 is opened, since a sufficient amount of air is supplied from the air passage 9E to the auxiliary tank 9C, the supply of ice-making water from the water supply port 60 to the ice tray 7B is smooth. The shortage of ice making water in the auxiliary tank 9C is supplemented by supplying ice making water in the main tank container 9B to the auxiliary tank 9C through the supply hole 9H. When the specified amount of water accumulates in the auxiliary tank portion 9C, ice making water also enters the air passage 9E, and its level is the same as the ice making water level L of the main tank container 9B.

  When the refrigerator-freezer 1 is transported from the factory to the market, the components in the refrigerator-freezer 1 including the water supply container 9 are also transported together, so these components are transported in a state of being stored in the refrigerator-freezer 1. In this case, when the water supply container 9 in which the main tank container 9B is housed in the tank main body 9A is transported, the peripheral walls of both of them rub against each other and the both are damaged. This scratch is particularly noticeable in the transparent water supply container 9. In order to prevent this, when disassembling the tank body 9A, the main tank container 9B, and the on-off valve mechanism P and carrying out separate packaging and storing and transporting them in the refrigerator-freezer 1, When assembling and the refrigerator-freezer 1 are installed, it is necessary to assemble them and troublesome work is required. In particular, when separate packaging is performed, the problem of loss of the on-off valve mechanism P is likely to occur, and the troublesome assembly remains.

  In order to solve such a problem, the present invention, like the water supply container 9, is inserted into the first container (corresponding to the tank main body 9A) having an opening on the upper surface and is detachably inserted into the first container. A second container having a peripheral wall facing the peripheral wall of the first container with a slight gap and having an opening on the upper surface held at a position keeping a distance from the bottom wall of the first container (on the main tank container 9B) In a double container consisting of a combination of the two and the like, a storage structure for transportation is provided in which damage caused by rubbing of both containers does not occur due to vibration generated when the double containers are transported. .

  The present invention further provides a transport storage structure that allows the tank body 9A, the main tank container 9B, and the on-off valve mechanism P to be safely transported in a properly assembled state with respect to the water supply container 9. In addition, a storage structure for transportation that can be easily removed after packaging and that does not damage the on-off valve mechanism P due to the packaging removal operation, and a flat cushioning material used therefor. It is to provide.

  As described above, the water supply container 9 which is a double container according to the present invention is removably inserted into the tank body 9A (corresponding to the first container) having an upper surface opening having front and rear left and right walls 9A1 and the tank body 9A. The auxiliary tank portion 9C is arranged at the above-mentioned interval in combination with the main tank container 9B (corresponding to the second container) having an upper surface opening having front and rear left and right walls 9B1 held at a position keeping the distance from the bottom wall of the tank body 9A. The front and rear left and right walls 9A1 of the tank body 9A and the front and rear left and right walls 9B1 of the main tank container 9B face each other with a slight gap M, and supply ice making water in the auxiliary tank portion 9C to the automatic ice making machine 7. Is provided with an on-off valve mechanism P for opening and closing a water supply port 60 formed at the bottom of the auxiliary tank portion 9C.

  A flat cushioning material is interposed in the small gap M between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B so that the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B do not rub against each other directly. It is composed. Paper is used as a typical flat cushioning material. The main tank container 9B is combined in the tank main body 9A with this paper interposed in a small gap M between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B. This paper is interposed in a small gap M between three wall surfaces (the front wall and the left and right walls are shown in the figure) of the tank body 9A and the main tank container 9B among the front and rear left and right walls 9A1 and 9B1. Side valves 80A, 80B, 80C, pull-out portions 80A1, 80B1, 80C1 extending outward from the three side surfaces 80A, 80B, 80C, and the three side surfaces 80A, 80B, 80C The first paper (planar cushioning material) 80 provided with a space portion 80D from which the corresponding portion of the mechanism P is cut off, and the remaining wall surface (rear wall in the figure) facing the tank body 9A and the main tank container 9B. A second paper (planar cushioning material) 81 having a fourth side surface portion 81A interposed in a small gap M between the first side surface portion and a drawing portion 81A1 extending outward from the fourth side surface portion 81A. It consists of.

  The second paper 81 can be removed by pulling out the drawing portion 81A1, and the first paper 80 has the side portions 80A and 80C adjacent to each other, and the connecting portion 82 between the 80A and 80B in the drawing portion 80A1. , 80B1 and 80C1 are formed so as to be damaged by pulling. As described above, thin paper having a thickness of about 0.06 mm is used as the first paper 80 so as to be damaged by pulling. The intended purpose can be achieved by using paper that is usually used as copy paper. The second paper 81 is the same.

  As described above, the cover 9D may be separately attached in the refrigerator 1 while the paper is interposed in the small gap M between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B. It may be in a state where it is fastened to the tank body 9A by the device 9R.

  The first paper 80 and the second paper 81 prevent the front, rear, left and right walls 9A1 and 9B1 from being scratched. Then, when these papers are removed and the water supply container 9 is used normally, the drawing parts 80A1, 80B1, 80C1 and the drawing part 80A1 are exposed so that the papers 80, 81 are interposed. Since it is visible, removal of these papers can be urged. For this reason, the main tank container 9B can be removed from the tank body 9A and the first paper 80 and the second paper 81 can be removed. However, in the present invention, the main tank container 9B is combined with the tank body 9A. In this state, the first paper 80 and the second paper 81 can be removed.

  That is, the second paper 81 is pulled out by the pull-out portion 81A1 of the second paper 81 in a state where one side of the combined body of the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B without the cover 9D is gripped by hand. 81 can be easily removed. Further, for example, if the first paper 80 is to be pulled out, the pulling force 80 acts on the connecting portion 82 between the adjacent side surface portions 80A and 80B, and the connecting portion 82 is damaged. Similarly, if the extraction portion 80C1 is to be extracted, the pulling force acts on the connecting portion 82 between the adjacent side surface portions 80A and 80C, and the connecting portion 82 is damaged. In order to obtain a state in which this breakage can be easily performed, it is preferable that the corner portion 80D1 of the space portion 80D corresponding to the connecting portion 82 is in an edge state that is squared, for example, at right angles as shown in the figure.

  In this case, the side surface portions 80B and 80C are connected on the side surface portion 80A side, but one end side which is the opposite side is open by the space portion 80D, so that the extraction portion 80B1 and the extraction portion 80C1 are extracted. As a result, the opened one end side is pulled out faster than the connection side with the side surface portion 80A, whereby the side surface portions 80A and 80C are connected to each other, and the side surface portions 80A and 80C are connected to each other. Further, an acting force that is torn from the space portion 80D acts, and the connecting portion 82 is easily broken from that portion.

  In this way, after the side portions 80B and 80C are pulled out, the side portion 80A is pulled out by holding the pulling portion 80A1, thereby completing the removal of the first paper 80.

  Thus, according to the present invention, it can be achieved only by the work of interposing paper between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B, and the film packing machine as in the prior art becomes unnecessary. Moreover, when unpacking and using the water supply container 9, since each extraction part is exposed, since it can visually recognize that paper is interposed, removal of paper can be urged. And this paper is comprised from the 1st paper 80 and the 2nd paper 81, and the 1st paper 80 surrounds the space part 80D by which the part corresponding to the on-off valve mechanism P was cut off by three side parts. Since it is a form, by pulling out and pulling out one extraction part, a pulling action is exerted on the connection part 82 between adjacent side parts, and this connection part 82 is easily damaged, and the side part connected to the extraction part by this damage Can be removed. And the other side part can also be removed by the same operation | work. Further, the second paper 81 can be removed by pulling out as it is. Therefore, the on-off valve mechanism P provided at the bottom of the auxiliary tank section 9C is not moved by the paper 80, 81 and the spring 67 is not deformed, so that the on-off valve mechanism P can function in a normal state. become.

  As described above, the transport storage structure of the double container (corresponding to the water supply container 9) according to the present invention includes the first container (corresponding to the tank main body 9A) having an upper surface opening, and the first container inside 9A. There is a peripheral wall (corresponding to the front / rear left / right wall 9B1) that is inserted detachably and faces the peripheral wall (corresponding to the front / rear left / right wall 9A1) of the first container 9A with a slight gap (corresponding to the slight gap M). In a double container comprising a combination of a second container (corresponding to the main tank container 9B) having an upper surface opening held at a position keeping a distance from the bottom wall of the first container 9A, the bottom wall of the first container 9A The space part (corresponding to the space part 80D) from which the corresponding part has been cut off and the neighbors are connected at the periphery of the space part 80D (corresponding to the connecting part 82) between the surrounding peripheral walls facing each other around the space part 80D. Next to each other in a small gap M in a separated state Paper (first sheet) formed with side portions (corresponding to side portions 80A, 80B, 80C, 81A) and pullout portions (corresponding to pullout portions 80A1, 80B1, 80C1, 81A1) extending outward from the respective side surface portions The paper 80 and the second paper 81) are interposed between the first container 9A and the second container 9B, and the strength that the adjacent side portions 82 are damaged by the pulling of the pull-out portion. It is the structure formed in.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing the relationship between the water supply container and the paper according to the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a storage structure during transportation of the water supply container according to the present invention. About the structure of the water supply container 9 which concerns on this invention, and the refrigerator-freezer 1 which concerns on it, since it is the same as that of Example 1 shown in the said FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 6, it shall be used and FIG. The same parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  The storage structure for transporting the water supply container 9 according to the present invention includes a peripheral wall of the tank body 9A (front and rear left and right walls in the figure) and a peripheral wall of the main tank container 9B (in the figure, in the water supply container 9 configured as described above). The main tank container 9B is combined in the tank main body 9A in a state where the paper 83 as a flat cushioning material is interposed in the slight gap M between the front and rear left and right walls). The paper 83 includes side portions 83A, 83B, 83C, and 83D that are interposed in a small gap M between the peripheral wall of the tank body 9A and the peripheral wall of the main tank container 9B, and the side portions 83A, 83B, 83C, The extraction portions 83A1, 83B1, 83C1, and 83D1 extending outward from 83D and a space portion 83E in which the corresponding portion of the on-off valve mechanism P is cut off are formed. Then, the adjacent side portions 83A1 and 83B1 are connected to each other, the adjacent side portions 83A1 and 83C1 are connected to each other, the adjacent side portions 83C1 and 83D1 are connected to each other, and the adjacent side portions 83B1 and 83D1 are connected to each other. The connecting portion 84 is formed to have a strength that can be broken by pulling the pull-out portions 83A1, 83B1, 83C1, and 83D1.

  As described above, paper 83 having a thickness of about 0.06 mm is used so as to be damaged by pulling. The intended purpose can be achieved by using paper that is usually used as copy paper.

  As described above, the cover 9D may be separately attached in the refrigerator 1 while the paper is interposed in the small gap M between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B. It may be in a state where it is fastened to the tank body 9A by the device 9R.

  The paper 83 prevents the peripheral walls 9A1 and 9B1 from being scratched. And when unpacking and using the water supply container 9, since the drawing-out parts 83A1, 83B1, 83C1, and 83D1 are exposed, it can be visually recognized that the paper 83 is interposed. Removal can be prompted. For this reason, the main tank container 9B can be removed from the tank main body 9A and the paper 83 can be removed. However, in the present invention, the paper 83 is removed with the main tank container 9B being combined with the tank main body 9A. This is a configuration that can be performed.

  The paper 83 can be pulled out in a state where one side of the combined body of the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B without the cover 9D is gripped by hand. That is, for example, when the paper 83 is to be pulled out, the tensile force acts on the connecting portion 84 between the adjacent side surface portions 83A and 83B and the connecting portion 84 between the adjacent side surface portions 83B and 83D. Thus, the connecting portion 84 is damaged. Similarly, if the extraction portion 83C1 is pulled out, the pulling force acts on the connecting portion 84 between the adjacent side surface portions 83A and 83C and the connecting portion 84 between the adjacent side surface portions 83C and 83D. Will be damaged. In order to obtain a state in which this breakage is easily performed, it is preferable that the corner portion 83E1 of the space portion 83E corresponding to the connecting portion 84 is in an edge state that is squared, for example, in a right angle state as shown in the figure.

  In this way, after the side portions 83B and 83C are pulled out, the side portion 83A is pulled out with the pulling portion 83A1, and the side portion 83D is pulled out with the pulling portion 83D1, thereby completing the removal of the paper 83. To do. The same applies when the side portions 83B1 and 83C1 are extracted after the side portions 83A1 and 83D1 are extracted.

  As described above, according to the invention shown in the second embodiment, it can be achieved only by interposing paper between the tank main body 9A and the main tank container 9B, and the film packing machine as in the prior art becomes unnecessary. Moreover, when unpacking and using the water supply container 9, since each extraction part is exposed, since it can visually recognize that paper is interposed, removal of paper can be urged.

  And since this paper is the form which surrounds the space part 83E by which the opening-and-closing valve mechanism P corresponding | compatible part was excised by a side part, by picking and pulling out one extraction part, it connects to the connection part 84 of an adjacent side part. The pulling action works, the connecting portion 84 is damaged, and the side portion connected to the extraction portion due to the damage can be removed without adversely affecting the on-off valve mechanism P. And the other side part can also be removed by the same operation | work. For this reason, the on-off valve mechanism P provided at the bottom of the auxiliary tank portion 9C is not moved by the paper 83 and the spring 67 is not deformed, and the on-off valve mechanism P can function in a normal state. .

  In addition, since the paper shown in the second embodiment surrounds the space portion 83E with the entire side surface by the side portion, the connecting portion 84 is damaged by picking and pulling the pull-out portion as compared with the invention shown in the first embodiment. It is a difficult situation. For this reason, consideration may be given to shortening the length of the connecting portion 84 between the adjacent side surface portions, using thinner paper, or making a perforation in the connecting portion 84.

  As described above, the transport storage structure of the double container (corresponding to the water supply container 9) according to the present invention includes the first container (corresponding to the tank main body 9A) having an upper surface opening, and the first container inside 9A. There is a peripheral wall (corresponding to the front / rear left / right wall 9B1) that is inserted detachably and faces the peripheral wall (corresponding to the front / rear left / right wall 9A1) of the first container 9A with a slight gap (corresponding to the slight gap M). In a double container comprising a combination of a second container (corresponding to the main tank container 9B) having an upper surface opening held at a position keeping a distance from the bottom wall of the first container 9A, the bottom wall of the first container 9A The space part (corresponding to the space part 83E) from which the corresponding part has been cut off and the neighboring parts are connected at the periphery of the space part 83E (corresponding to the connecting part 84) between the surrounding peripheral walls facing each other in the periphery of the space part 83E. Next to each other in a small gap M in a separated state A paper (corresponding to paper 83) formed with side portions (corresponding to side portions 83A to 83D) and extraction portions (corresponding to extraction portions 83A1 to 83D1) extending outward from the respective side surface portions is the first container. 9 A and the second container 9 </ b> B are interposed between adjacent side surface portions 84, and are formed to have such a strength that they are damaged by pulling of the extraction portion.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is a double container that is stacked up and down like a water supply container of a refrigerator-freezer with an automatic ice maker, and is effective as a storage structure for transportation in a form in which an auxiliary tank portion is formed between the upper and lower containers.
