BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a transport handle device on the bottom surface.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 6 is a perspective view from the bottom of the refrigerator showing a conventional carrying handle device disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-88089, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. In the figure, 1 is a refrigerator body, 2 is a side plate made of a steel plate constituting the outline of the refrigerator body 1, 28 is a reinforcing girder on the front side of the bottom surface of the refrigerator body, 26 is a base plate of a machine room in which a compressor or the like is installed, Is a bottom plate made of a steel plate having a thickness of about 0.3 to 0.5 mm for closing the bottom of the outer shell of the refrigerator body, and 17 is a pair of left and right reinforcements having a substantially L-shaped cross section that is attached to the inside of the bottom flange portion 2a of the bottom of the side plate 2 It is a digit.
[0003]
Reference numeral 18 denotes an inner box formed of a synthetic resin that forms the inner wall of the refrigerator. Reference numeral 19 denotes a heat insulating material such as polyurethane filled and foamed in a space formed between the inner box 18 and the side plate 2 and the bottom plate 25. . Further, 20 is a screw plate made of a steel plate having a thickness of about 1 mm attached to the heat insulating material 19 side of the bottom plate 25, and 21 is a fixture for a steel plate carrying handle device formed in a substantially U shape. A pair of left and right bent sides 21b of the fixture 21 are provided with punched holes 21c, and the transport handle arm 22 formed of a steel wire in a substantially U-shape is attached to the punched holes 21c to be rotatable. .
[0004]
Reference numeral 23 denotes a roller that is rotatably attached to the arm portion 22. A plurality of fixing screws 24 fasten the fixture 21 of the transport handle device to the screw plate 20 inside the bottom plate 25. 14 is an evaporator for drain water dripped when defrosting a heat exchanger of a refrigerator arranged inside a pair of left and right transport handle devices, 14a is a condenser through which a high-temperature refrigerant passes, and 15 is a condenser 14a. It is an evaporating dish which is located at the top of the water and accumulates and drains the drain water dripping.
[0005]
Further, 13 is another carrying handle located at the upper part of the refrigerator body 1, 4 is a moving wheel installed at the front corner of the refrigerator bottom, 6 is a stopper used after installing the refrigerator, and 7 is a moving wheel 4 at the front corner. This is an attachment for attaching the stopper 6 to the bottom flange 2a of the bottom of the refrigerator.

Further, when the carrying handle device is tilted in the A direction, the bent shape 22a of the carrying handle arm portion 22 can create a space for gripping between the bottom plate 25 and the roller 23, and has been tilted in the B direction. In this case, the roller 23 can be rotated by the opening 27 provided in the base plate 26 of the machine room.
[0007]
In the conventional refrigerator as described above, one transporter has the upper transport handle 13, and the other transporter has the transport handle arm 22 on the bottom of the refrigerator in the direction A and has a roller 23. Thus, the refrigerator can be lifted at an angle. Moreover, in the state which stood the refrigerator, the floor can be rolled and the refrigerator can be moved by rolling the wheel 4 for a movement and the roller 23 in the state which fell the arm part 22 of the conveyance handle in the B direction.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional refrigerator is configured as described above, it is necessary to reduce the evaporator 14 and the evaporation tray 15 for evaporating the drain water, so that the condenser capacity of the refrigerator decreases and power consumption increases. Alternatively, there is a problem that water leaks from the evaporating dish 15 during the defrosting operation when excessive frost is formed on the refrigerator cooler. Further, considering the thickness of the bottom plate 25 of the refrigerator, there is a problem that the screw plate 20 needs to be installed and the price becomes high.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and is provided with a refrigerator provided with a handling handle device that is easy to hold a handle, improves transportability, and has a handle portion that saves space. The purpose is to provide.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The refrigerator according to the present invention has a handle portion that is rotatably supported at one end on the bottom surface of the main body and rotatable at the other end, and the handle portion is stored on the bottom surface of the main body when not in use, and is The other end is raised and used.
[0011]
Further, the handle portion is automatically stored by a spring when not in use.
[0012]
Moreover, the handle part is detachable from the main body.
[0013]
Further, the handle portion is detachable from the main body with the main body standing.
[0014]
In addition, a protective member is attached to the handle to prevent damage to the floor.
[0015]
